We are visiting from Saint John, staying at Hotel Pur in the downtown area of Old Quebec. (Highly recommended). It was suggested by concierge that we try this restaurant and we not disappointed! Drinks were top tier and food and ambience were authentic and delicious. We sat at the bar and the co-owner Hussein made us feel welcome and special. Highly recommended.

My colleagues and I recently visited a hidden gem in Quebec City and were thoroughly impressed. Our server, Anei, was exceptional—friendly, attentive, and provided a warm welcome. We began with the 961 Lemonade, crafted by the owner, which was refreshing and unique. For starters, we enjoyed the Baba Ghanoush, followed by the main courses: Surf and Turf, and the Rack of Lamb. Both dishes were prepared to perfection, with rich, flavorful ingredients. We also tried the Chicken Skewers, which were equally outstanding. Highly recommend this restaurant for its impeccable food and excellent service.

Run...do not walk to this amazing restaurant! We were greeted with open arms and catered to an incredible atmosphere, requiring food restrictions (Celiac) and received recommendations for one of the best bottles of red wine we have ever had, and enjoyed the beef and chicken skewers! This was on their 2 year anniversary and we were treated like royalty! Thank you Villa! May success follow you always!

We stayed at Hotel Pur downtown Old Quebec outside the wall(highly recommended). The restaurant was a nice walk and we were warmly greeted by co-owner Hussein. Ate at the bar, drinks were fantastic and food was so flavourful and authentic. Highly recommended. Will be back.

This was our first stop in Quebec. Good atmosphere, great food and server. Cute small place with warm cozy feeling. Will come back if I come back to here again.

I'm writing this review having just finished a meal and sat still at the restaurant (I could not wait). The atmosphere is amazing, the music is not too loud, the candle at the table are real, and the food.... The food is seasoned so well (I got the chicken kabab and tried the kaftan kabab), I don't think I've had better kababs anywhere else (I'm middle eastern). Highly recommend this place if you are in town. PLEASE DO NOT CHANGE YOUR CHEF IN THE BACK! My compliments to them!
