Meal of a lifetime, nothing else to say. Service if careful and cared, discret and present, food is outstanding and plenty of little surprises awaits you during the evening. Hats off to whole staff and chef, thank you for the show and for all you did
I was very, very happy to be able to reserve a spot here just a week in advance. Michelin is not in Quebec City, but if it was, Taniere would surely get 2 or 3 stars. It was an experience from top to bottom. To begin, once a reservation is made, you will receive a secret door code for entry into the unassuming, unmarked yellow door outside. Once within, you immediately descend into a forested vault that was built 500 years ago. The sounds and smells of the forest fill the air. We were greeted by name once we made our way through the woods to a desk where we gave up our coats. Afterward, we were led into the first room where we are told about the experience and choose our drink pairings for the night. I chose the Wine Experience, and Shahrzad chose the non-alcoholic, which was phenomenal. We were also served our first series of courses. Next, we moved to the main dining vault past the Chef's Table, which you can also reserve if you are lucky enough. There, you can watch everything being created. Once seated at our table, we were each given two small antique keys that open two drawers on each side of the table. These drawers contained a personalized card with a poem hinting at the signature dish, Noble, as well as our napkin and utensils. Here in the main vault, we were served our next 7 courses. Two of these courses might be the best dishes I've ever had in my entire life. Each dish is brought out by 2 servers who deliver it to the table in perfect sync. Another member of the staff describes each dish, the ingredients, the inspiration, and the sources, which are all local to Quebec. Every part of each dish is sourced locally. If you can't get it in Quebec, it's not used in the dish. That includes things as common as olive oil and as popular as chocolate. About 2 hours into the experience, with 15 courses down, we are moved to the final room for dessert. This room is filled with trees, both sculptural and real. The ambiance is different, and the space is suited for wrapping up the journey they took us on. Here, we receive the final 6 dessert courses as well as dessert drinks. What an incredible 3 hours. This was the top dining experience I've ever had, and a few of these dishes were the best I've ever had. The entire 3-hour dinner truly was an experience from the moment we arrived outside to the moment we found our coats waiting for us outside the final room. The attention to every last detail in the food, the dishes, the space, the service, everything was perfect.
Just WOW. Top restaurant experience probably ever. Amazing food, top service, incredible experience Worth every penny. Save it for a special occasion
