This restaurant is aptly named because the basement of this excellent 3rd Avenue location is a real hideout. With the capacity to accommodate 10 people, the place is perfect for intimate gatherings with family or friends, which will be enhanced by new chef Olivier Godbout’s delicious seasonal menu.

Matto 71

5
71, rue Saint-Pierre, Québec, QC G1K 4A3

Many restaurants pride themselves on being Italian, but this one uses the owner’s mother’s authentic Italian recipes. Whether on rue Myrand or in Hotel 71, we are tempted by the typical Italian dishes, including their tasty four-cheese pizza, figs, prosciutto and classic cannolis.

Bistro Hortus

1190, rue Saint-Jean, Québec, QC G1R 1S6

Good organic chicken! This is what the Tournebroche offers on rue Saint-Jean: quality rotisserie that you'll be happy to share with your group. Their crispy chicken skin is criminally delicious, and their choice crèmes brûlées are so good they almost overshadow the chicken!
