“ Our group of four stopped to talk to the maitre d' while strolling Old QC. So glad we did. 1. Their lunch pricing for small plates is great. 2. We enjoyed the best service from our two servers in a very nice setting. 3. The food was fabulous and just right for lunch. Americans .... be advised that these are not Cracker Barrel sized meals. For us the food, service and setting were perfect. One other note (#4 I guess) when you enter the restaurant the full kitchen is on display. It looked very professional and, more importantly, very, very clean which we appreciated. Merci Le Clan. ”
“ Walked in and asked if they could accommodate 2 guests. Stephanie sat us at the Chef's table with a front row view of the amazing kitchen led by chef Stephane Modat. We decided to go all in with the tasting menu and wine pairings and we were not disappointed!

Hats off to Stephanie who carried us through the evening with her impeccable knowledge on the wine pairings and engaging stories!

“ A Memorable First Visit to Le Clan My husband and I had the pleasure of dining at Le Clan for the first time, and it was truly a wonderful experience from start to finish. We opted for the tasting menu featuring a selection of small dishes, and each one stood out with its own unique flavor and thoughtful presentation. Among all the dishes, the fish soup was the highlight for us, rich, flavorful, and comforting, with a depth that lingered beautifully on the palate. It’s clear that a lot of care and creativity went into curating the menu. The ambiance at Le Clan is equally impressive. The environment is elegant, quiet, and tastefully designed, making it perfect for a relaxing and intimate lunch. The service was excellent,warm, attentive, and welcoming without being intrusive. We felt genuinely cared for throughout the evening, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. We’re already looking forward to our next visit. Le Clan is truly a gem and a place we would happily recommend to anyone looking for a refined yet cozy dining . ”
“ I second all the five star reviews, I'd give six stars if I could. Not only the food was delicious, it was an art and an experience. Some dishes even represent the native legends. Separate mention is deserved by Alexi who makes cocktails. The one from beat juice was amazing. ”
“ An absolutely spectacular meal and service. We had the 6 course tasting menu with wine pairing. Our servers were knowledgeable and polite. There was a pause between each course but we enjoyed the time to savour and enjoy. Will definitely be going back. ”
“ This is a dining experience for foodies. If you like chef’s who take, fresh local ingredients and make masterpieces you should try Le Clan. We had the 6 course tasting menu without knowing what the dishes were in advance. Every plate was a surprise and we enjoyed every bite. ”
“ Came here without a reservation on a rainy evening. We were welcomed and had very fast, friendly service. The food was excellent and well priced considering the quality and ingredients and compared to other Michelin level restaurants. Recommended! ”
“ It’s an expensive restaurant. If you don’t want to spend that much money, go at lunch time. Reservations strongly recommended. The kitchen closes at 2 but as long as you’re there by 1:45, they will serve you. That was what happened to us. For lunch you get soup/salad, an appetizer, and an entree for up to 39 Canadian dollars. You can add a dessert for an additional 5. The food was great. Strongly recommend the charcuterie board for appetizer. The asparagus risotto was wonderful and the halibut tail was fresh. ”
