Laurie Raphaël

Laurie Raphaël on Rue Dalhousie in Quebec City's Old Port neighbourhood is one of the finest restaurants in Quebec and a longtime standard-bearer for sophisticated regional cuisine in the province outside of Montreal. The restaurant was founded by chef Daniel Vézina, a prominent figure in the promotion of Quebec terroir and a champion of the province's agricultural identity. Vézina built his tasting menus around relationships with Quebec farms, foragers, and dairies, preparing ingredients through technically refined French-influenced cooking that consistently illuminates what makes Quebec's food culture distinct. Signature preparations have included Quebec lamb with foraged herbs, elaborately prepared freshwater fish from the province's rivers, and desserts showcasing local maple and berries. The dining room occupies a handsome heritage building in the Old Port with high ceilings, warm materials, and views toward the Saint Lawrence River. The wine programme is extensive with significant French and Quebec representation. Laurie Raphaël offers a tasting menu experience comparable to Montreal's best and provides visitors to Quebec City with a world-class restaurant option that celebrates the host region.
