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 of Restaurant de l'ITHQ emphasize a refined yet welcoming atmosphere where student servers, guided by professional staff, deliver attentive, thoughtful service and clear explanations of courses and wine pairings; the cuisine is praised for creativity, seasonal local ingredients, beautiful presentations, and the option of tasting menus with wine pairings that many describe as memorable, along with a strong focus on showcasing Quebec products. While a few notes mention occasional pacing issues, small portions or dishes that are too salty, and some variability in value for price, the overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive and many say they will return, often combining the meal with a stay at the adjacent hotel.
Le service était impeccable & la nourriture excellente. Peut-être que le plat principal d'omble fumée aurait été plus apprécié en entrée.
On a hâte d'y retourner très bientôt. Merci à toute l'équipe!
We were very disappointed that two meals out of four were less than perfect.My husband & his friend ordered pork & shrimp. The food was neither hot nor cold & no shrimp in the dish. The waitress promised to tell the chef but we never heard anything about our complaint. Our guests were from Ontario & we had promised them a really good meal, based on our experience in July when we came with a party of 10 & everything was a lovely experience then. We will come back & hope for a better time next time. Best wishes, Inge Rumler Olsen.
Nous avons pris le menu dégustation & beaucoup aimé notre repas. La raison pour les 4 étoiles pour la nourriture est que le plat principal m'a un peu moins plu & m'a semblé un choix étrange dans le cadre d'un menu de ce type. Par ailleurs, notre serveuse était vraiment excellente. Très sympathique & un service impeccable.
Je tiens à remercier à nouveau notre charmante & gentille serveuse Mayella (pas certaine de bien orthographier son prénom). Chose certaine vous allez nous revoir.
One of us had food restrictions due to severe allergies. Our server (Gabrielle) took notice of it immediately & was able to tell us options - the chef seemed to be able to modify a dish on a menu & served us a wonderful meal = big compliment to the chef! Another server (we couldn't catch his name) was also very prompt, friendly & professional. Overall a very pleasant experience & totally made our day. Thank you very much! We'll spread the words about the ITHQ restaurant & will also be back for sure.

Ce fut une première expérience des plus agréables! J'ai tout adoré, l'accueil, le service, le repas, l'ambiance. Quelle belle soirée! Nous y retournerons avec grand plaisir!
Ange a été une serveuse fantastique! Le dernier service d'accord met & vin n'était pas au point niveau alcool. Sinon c'était meilleur encore que les 3 dernières années 😌
