The Restaurant de l'ITHQ on rue Saint-Denis is open year round, morning, noon and evening. Through its refined cuisine, prepared with the freshest Québec products, the Restaurant de l'ITHQ is a testament to the quality of the culinary training provided at the leading hotel school that is the ITHQ. The service staff's know-how, particularly in terms of food and wine pairing, further enhances the patron experience. Its peaceful and cosy ambience, bathed in natural light, is heightened by a splendid view of Square Saint-Louis, which is located right in front. During the week, the kitchen and dining room welcome ITHQ students who are nearing completion of their program and, under the vigilant eye of their professors, are putting into practice what they learned in class.
Reviews consistently describe Restaurant de l'ITHQ as a refined, imaginative dining experience that blends creative Quebecois cuisine with attentive service delivered by students under supervision. The tasting menus with wine pairings are frequently praised for balance, thoughtful presentations, and a focus on local ingredients, while the setting is described as elegant, comfortable, well lit, and conveniently located near the Sherbrooke metro with parking nearby. The pre dinner bar experience and the wine program are highlighted for helpful explanations and solid recommendations, and the overall service is courteous and professional, even as some visits note longer waits or a tempo that reflects training in progress. Portions are sometimes considered on the small side and some guests feel value could be stronger for the price, with occasional variability in flavor depth or originality across dishes. Despite these caveats, the consensus is that the quality, technique, and experience are consistently high, making it a memorable destination to observe the learning process in a fine dining context, especially for tasting menus and special occasions, with many guests promising to return.
Super combinaison & créativité gourmande. Excellent service & ambience phenomenale.
Toutefois, les entrées sont trop petites pour leur prix pendant que les desserts sont assez grands. C'est un peu trop cher pour être un restaurant chic mais fait par des étudiants.
On avait faim à la fin & on a dépensé 100$ par personne (avant pourboire!!)
Depuis quelques années, notre groupe HEC 1988-1990 se rencontre deux fois par année à l'ITHQ pour le lunch. Accueil chaleureux, nourriture toujours à la hauteur de nos attentes & personnel attentif! On y retourne en juin. D'ici là un heureux temps des fêtes à tout le personnel.
1- l'entrée de pétoncles:
Abominable car, le mélange pomme & vinaigre balsamique fort désagréable.
2- le vol au vent géant: couleurs fades de beige & textures pas savoureuses du tout

Our experience was phenomenal!!!!
We loved everything from the ambiance to the service & of course the food!
We all agreed it was one of the best meals we ever had.

We also want to come back for breakfast.
Thank you again!!
Vous êtes mon resto préféré à Montréal & j'y vais plus d'une dizaine de fois par année ! Toutefois, je n'ai jamais été en mesure d'aller au resto des étudiants à l'étage supérieur, toujours toujours plein !
Bravo & merci pour cette expérience.
La passion & l'expertise des professeurs sont transmis à la perfection aux étudiants, le résultat le prouve. Keep going!!!
Samuel était parfait... mais il y avait un certain désaccord entre le "style" de service très formel, les gens qui offraient le service (cheveux gras, manque de dignité, sloppy appearance) & l'époch dans lequel on vit... La nourriture était vraiment excéllent... peut-être un petit "tone down" dans la formalité d'autrefois ferait un meilleur ensemble... merci
Visited during a weeknight & had the table d'hote. We were welcomed in a professional manner & every staff member knew their role precisely. The oysters were fresh & each sauce was perfectly matched. The quality of the food was incredible & we even got a crepe suzette prepared in front of us for dessert! A wonderful experience all around & we will certainly be returning!
