Buvette Scott
Located in the heart of the Faubourg Saint-Jean-Baptiste, Buvette Scott was quickly adopted by the locals who made this place their favourite neighbourhood resto-bar for all occasions. The buvette is the ideal place to spend a relaxed evening in a warm atmosphere. Here, you can let yourself be carried away by the turntables and intoxicated by the good wine and the delicious small bites. We discover a very nice wine list designed by Dave St-Yves. With his vast knowledge acquired from his time at the SAQ over the past 10 years, Dave has discovered some wonderful wines for connoisseurs AND amateurs!

Kraken Cru
Kraken Cru is one of our favourite restaurants in Quebec City and definitely a staple in the city! In a mini restaurant with a bar atmosphere, we drink delicious wines and savour exceptional seafood dishes. Philippe’s superb wine list includes 2 reds, 20 whites and a dozen bubbles – mainly certified organic, biodynamic or natural wines. The wine offer is even more appreciated in the festive atmosphere where the passion of the team becomes inevitably contagious and everything goes very well with the dishes. Note that there is also a very nice selection of wines. Note that the associated restaurants L’Albacore, Ketchose, L’Affaire est Ketchup and Patente&machin also offer a great selection of wines in their establishments.

Le Clocher Penché
Le Clocher Penché is a friendly bistro where you can enjoy delicious food made with local ingredients. It is Thomas Pelissier, assisted by Marc Lamarre, awarded the laurels for the best sommelier of the year, who has curated a solid wine list. We find very beautiful bottles from the Rhone Valley to the Iberian Peninsula to Italy, which pair perfectly with their market cuisine. We love this place!

Located in the heart of Limoilou, Le Cendrillon offers its clientele a place to have a drink in the same friendly atmosphere. Whether before the meal, for the aperitif, during, and after, to conclude the evening, the wine list built by the sommelier Joffrey Beaulieu impresses and inspires you to return. At Le Cendrillon, you’ll be sure to spend an unpretentious evening in an inviting and festive atmosphere.

Le Renard et la Chouette
“We will hunt together,” said the owl. “And we’ll have lunch together,” concludes the fox. This neighbourhood bar is meant to be a great place to eat that people in the St. Sauveur neighbourhood can get to without too much hassle. The wine list is curated by co-owner Thania and sommelier Laurence Ouellette, who work mainly with private imports. Interesting and affordable, the wines offered are well thought out to accompany the menu.
