A restaurant in Quebec called L'improviste received mixed reviews from customers. Many were disappointed with the quality of the food, slow service, and mediocre wine selection. One customer even experienced an issue with the bill, feeling pressured to tip a certain amount. However, other guests had a positive experience, highlighting the friendly service, accommodating staff, and tasty dishes. Overall, the restaurant seemed to have hit or miss reviews, with some recommending it as a hidden gem with delicious food and reasonable prices, while others vowed to never return due to unsatisfactory meals.

Short version: food bof , mediocre wine, slow service, but above all attention -- enhanced check that the amount entered on the device for your cb corresponds exactly to the "factory". Long VERSION: we found ourselves in Quebec on an evening where a parade was taking place, we wanted to eat in a small street. good reception but slow service, perhaps due to the fact that we had only taken one of the cheapest dishes, moreover very ordinary in taste. On the other hand, the wine was weak in any case for Mediterranean palaces. So we chose not to risk taking dessert there and the note came: on the tax-free bill, we had added to the hand 15%, whereas usually we had the choice of the tip amount. In addition, we were introduced the machine for the cb, directly the nip (code) to write, while everywhere else we were asked whether the amount was the right, if we wanted to give a tip, a sum, or a percentage: 15,20 or 25 %. And then, the code typed, we discovered that the sum had gone from a little less than $100 to almost two hundred dollars and that was not just a mistake of the kind "the number 1 hit by mistake in front."

As we were walking around Quebec, we decided to have lunch and spotted this beautiful and inviting restaurant in front of us---The L'impreviste. As we walked in, We were welcome by the friendliest owner and his stuff in English. They explained the manu and special of the day. The food was amazing and the experience wonderful. We recommend this place highly! This was definitely the highlight of our trip!

We visited this restaurant 4 times during our 3 day stay in Quebec for drinks and lunch. The food is delicious, the margarita pizza and spaghetti bolognese with cheese was fantastic. The staff is welcoming and friendly. It is difficult to obtain a table in Quebec restaurants if you just want a cocktail and not food, this restaurant welcomed us everytime. They also made a great cocktail. We would definately visit this restaurant again.

The service was very friendly! I ordered cheese sticks, a side salad and a pizza Margherita. The presentation was really nice! The salad and the sticks were very tasty! The pizza was ok more or less with some improvements to be done for the future. I would choose this restaurant again!

The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the staff were very welcoming. We stumbled upon this restaurant while walking in Quebec City and ended up having breakfast there twice because of the great food and the server who was attentive, funny, and made us feel very welcomed. We wanted to have dinner there as well, but unfortunately, it was our last few days of our trip. Thank you very much.
