The story
Le Parlementaire occupies a singular space within the historic Parliament Building of Québec, in the heart of Old Québec. Here, history and modernity meet in a renewed décor that frames an experience unlike any other in the city. The restaurant is the only one to offer a dining room that sits at the centre of democratic life, yet the atmosphere remains warm and welcoming.
The kitchen, led by a team of chefs, puts Québec’s bounty front and centre. The menu changes with the seasons and highlights ingredients sourced from across the province: trout, elk, blackcurrants, blueberries, and regional cheeses. Notably, the restaurant uses honey produced by the beehives on the Parliament’s own grounds, and draws from an urban garden cultivated on site. This commitment to local products extends to the wine list, which features a carefully selected variety of Québec wines and spirits.
In 2026, Le Parlementaire earned a Michelin Recommended distinction, a testament to its consistent quality and dedication to modern Canadian cuisine. The award places the restaurant among an elite group in Québec City, recognized for its refined yet unpretentious approach.
Whether for lunch or dinner, guests can expect a menu that is reinvented regularly, always with an emphasis on what the region has to offer. The dining room accommodates private events and offers a setting that is at once grand and intimate. For those seeking a taste of Québec’s culinary identity in a truly unique environment, Le Parlementaire delivers.
