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.
Le service est excellent. Cependant, seules les entrées sont dignes de l'ITHQ. Nous avons pris vol-au-vent au poulet, poisson & deux sortes de desserts & c'était ordinaire.
nous y retournerons & nous inciterons nos connaissance à profiter de cette très belle expérience. Le service était impeccable, vous faites du très bon travail. Bravo & mille mercis
Menu du midi intéressant, recherché, produits locaux excellents, bien cuisinés & bien présentés, service courtois, chaleureux & professionnel. Très belle expérience, merci à l'équipe!👌
Tout le groupe (12 personnes) fut satisfait . Le repas était bon, l'entrée de pétoncles savoureuse même si manquait un peu de couleur pour éveiller l'appétit. Les choix de plats (2) étaient limités car le gésiers ne plaisent pas à tous. Le dessert délicieux. Le service était excellent de même que l'ambiance. Merci & nous y retournerons sûrement.
