Restaurant Légende - Québec

We decided to order the chef's six course tasting menu with wine pairings. Every course is a surprise. The dishes were beautifully balanced in flavour and texture and the wines were carefully considered to enhance each course. Much of the food was local and was delicious. It was worth every penny.

The tasting menu with agreement pure genius wines I say and rediscover this restaurant has made me live a unique experience. Yes you have to pay for it but when you want to spoil yourself and for events you don't miss it! no negative comment has made that happiness in the plate, in the glasses, in the service, staff, atmosphere, decoration, a big 15/10 for me heart blow! bravo

Try several small plates for variety. Great service and super food. Very nice terrace, and downstairs from our hotel.

My wife brought me to Legende for my birthday dinner. Adventurous as we are, we opted to go with the tasting plates. Essentially they bring you a six course meal, each a surprise unto itself. Everything is sourced locally, so you can truly taste the freshness. But before all that, you get a nice amuse-bouche just to get your appetite going . . . a three-part delight consisting of varied tastes and textures (from a gazpacho through to some halibut).Some highlights from our various courses . . . all were good, but these two stood out for sure :1- cricket ravioli : crunchy, with the rich taste of mushrooms2- bison : served up in a nice bed of local vegetables; certainly novel in taste (and definitely not gamey, unlike traditional venison such as deer).My only huh? moment came with the last course (dessert). It was a nice refreshing mix of berries, but it was presented as a narrow crescent on the edge of a huge (mostly empty) black plate. The attempt at art distracted from the reality of the food.Chapeau! to the wait staff. They were all very knowledgeable about the menu, and very solicitous without being overbearing.Lastly, some practical tips . . . a) There is a parking lot across the street from Legende. However, if you're not in by around 7pm, you will likely have to struggle a bit in your search for street parkingb) Right now (Aug 2017), there is a lot of construction on-going in the general area of the Route 440 on-ramp. So factor this into your travel plans if you're coming in from the westc) You are within walking distance of Old Quebec. In our case, we walked in that direction after dinner and enjoyed the fireworks as part the Fetes de la Nouvelle France.

We went to this restaurant after reading reviews on trip. local is elegant and with outdoor tables. we chose their selection of dishes, combined with each one with a glass of wine. well presented appetizers on tapes containing pebbles. dishes were presented in gourmet formula of nouvelle kitchens. the choice of menus ranging between lobster and duck until ending with the bison. raw materials were of good quality even if sometimes combinations with sweet foods in the dish were a bit questionable for demanding palates like Italian ones. Almost entirely good the choice of wines. cost: 2 test menu 1 test wine 265 c$
