La Cohue

In Sainte-Foy, on the chemin des Quatre-Bourgeois, hides one of Quebec City's best-kept culinary secrets: Bistro La Cohue. La Cohue has been welcoming food lovers since 2004, whether for a business lunch, a supper with friends or a romantic evening, not to mention its famous weekend brunches. A true institution which, contrary to outward appearances (the place sits in a commercial district), holds an absolutely astonishing culinary experience in store. The cooking, classic bistro with a strong French influence, reflects the passion and drive of the whole team that prepares and serves it. On the menu: classics executed with mastery — salmon and beef tartares, blood sausage, pan-seared scallops, cod… Every dish is prepared with care and comes carefully presented. The wine selection, chosen with attention so it marries the menu, includes favourites and a few specially chosen imports. The atmosphere, intimate and warm, suits every occasion. The restaurant, recently renovated, offers an elegant and welcoming setting — perfect for talking quietly. Special mention to the owner, Bruno, whose eye for detail and attentive service contribute a great deal to the establishment's reputation. Bistro La Cohue is ranked #2 of the 1,032 restaurants in Quebec City on Tripadvisor, with an average rating of 4.7 out of 5 — recognition that is amply deserved.
