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.
Exceeds my expectations everytime. Best bang for your buck.
This is a high end restorant run by students, But the service while not perfect is up to spec & fancy. The students & staff are always eager to please their clients & awnser any questions.
Cuisine savoureuse & raffinée, offrant notamment un excellent rapport qualité prix avec la table d'hôte du midi à 39$; le service est professionnel, courtois & efficace, le tout dans un environnement lumineux, spacieux & élégant. Tous nos convives ont beaucoup apprécié leur visite au Restaurant de l'ITHQ. Merci!
The restaurant has a very convivial atmosphere & attentive wait staff. We chose the tasting menu which had some excellent dishes such as the filet mignon & the cabbage & celery root salad. Both were very flavourful & used unique combinations. I was less enamoured with the amuse-gueule which was a corn & pea combination that was rather flat in flavour. However I have previously dined there in February when the dinner overall was delicious. It offers an excellent atmosphere & offers good value as well as some very tempting dishes. Great for dining with friends & family
Délicieux, ingrédients locaux & frais. Excellent service & atmosphère calme! Ça fait vraiment du bien!!! If you decide to go you will not be disappointed, this is my third time (first was supper & two subsequent times was breakfast).
Nous avons très bien mangé, la nourriture était excellente.
Un petit bémol sur le service:
- la serveuse a oublié une de mes préférences (il y en avait juste 2);
- l'installation du buffet déjeuner alors que nous étions encore à table pour le souper (bruyant & dérangeant).
Toujours aussi délicieux ! Même encore meilleur que la dernière fois ! Ce nouveau menu du jour (midi) était un vrai régal ! Merci ! À la prochaine, bien sûr !

Encore une très belle expérience au restaurant de l'ITHQ.
C'était ma 4e visite, & je suis toujours aussi impressionnée. Les plats sont aussi beaux que bons, avec beaucoup de finesse & de créativité. Chaque assiette réserve une petite surprise, autant dans les saveurs que dans la présentation.
Le service est soigné & agréable, & on sent le souci du détail du début à la fin.
Un vrai régal à chaque fois. Une adresse que je recommande sans hésiter, & où je reviendrai avec plaisir.
Très belle expérience avec une superbe mise en avant des produits plein de saveurs, notamment des légumes & du meilleur beurre qu'on ait mangé au Québec. Belle présentation, belle ambiance dans un cadre très élégant.
Delightful experience delivered by the ITHQ graduating class & staff. Our (mostly anglophone) group came for dinner, & were shown warm hospitality & exquisite attention to detail. I had the roasted cauliflower cigars main dish, & had never had cauliflower presented so elegantly & creatively, with amazing flavours & textures. & I grew up hating the vegetables. Five stars; it's nice to see the future of Quebec gastronomy is in good hands.
Tout était impeccable, le personnel toujours aussi professionnel, souriant & de bon conseil.
Les plats étaient savoureux & avaient été servis à la bonne température.
Ca a été une expérience tout aussi agréable qu'à nos visites antérieures.
