After touring the iconic Château Frontenac, our group of 5 went to 1608 for some drinks. The custom cocktails were beautiful and delicious. I went for the 1943—it’s a smoked cocktail with a lightly smoked scotch, that was balanced and delicious from the first sip to the last. Excellent service for a larger group and an atmosphere of elegance, but we fit in anyway.
Staying at the Fairmont in Quebec City and decided to stay in. About a 20m wait led us to seats which were ok but then bar stools opened up. We had a mojito and le rose et le renard cocktails along with some food. The mojito was nicely muddled with the mint. The other cocktail had different layers that continued to amaze including a bit of cucumber. Typical bar food it wasn’t. Lake Brome duck croquettes were crusty balls with fabulous duck meet inside with nicely spiced sauce. The focaccia was good. But the surprise was the queen Elizabeth pastry. And in a good manner. This date based brown pastry was nicely warmed up with a sauce and fresh fruit. Delicious.
It was a neat bar spot for a late night. Beautiful setting and fireplaces by the bar. It’s neat reading through the back stories of the drinks with my wife. Added to the experience of old Quebec City 😁. We especially liked the SOIE. We didn’t stay at the hotel so we found indoor parking about a short distance away. 😊
A true experience with a mystic feeling vibe. The whole bartending team are well experienced with a pleasant and friendly personality. They had some incredible signature cocktails. Also some specially distilled/bottled whiskey made just for this hotel. Highly recommend even just to grab 1 drink.
It is a beautiful, upscale spot with a great ambiance. The setting is elegant and perfect for a relaxed night out. We only had drinks during our visit. They were nicely presented but just okay overall... it was not bad, just not especially memorable. Still, the atmosphere alone makes it worth stopping by.
