Quebec's Hidden Gem | This French Bistro Beats All Fancy Restaurants

🏆 I officially declare: This unassuming spot outshines all so-called "top-tier" French restaurants! 📍 L’Affaire Est Ketchup 💰 ~$65 CAD/person (tax & tip included) 📞 Reservations mandatory (so popular we got stuck with 8:30 PM!) ✨ Why It's Special ✅ No menu, just a chalkboard – Seasonal ingredients explained by staff. ✅ "Blind ordering guaranteed delicious" – Zero disappointments from appetizers to dessert. ✅ Unbeatable value – Every dish under $35 CAD, a rebel in fine dining. 🍽️ Must-Order Dishes 1️⃣ Sweetbreads (Veal Thymus) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Silky, milky richness – We scraped the plate clean with bread. 2️⃣ Octopus + Eggplant Purée ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Tender tentacles meet savory veggie magic. 3️⃣ Salmon + Pickled Radish ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Zesty lemon tang with yogurt "caviar" bursts. 4️⃣ Pork Belly + Sea Prawns ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Crispy pork + briny prawns, paired with cheesy dough balls (heaven!). 5️⃣ Chocolate Brownie ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Dark cocoa bitterness balanced by white chocolate drizzle. ⚠️ Honest Notes Ambiance: Feels like a "back-alley canteen" – let the food distract you. Before & After: Post-meal, Le Continental tasted overpriced & basic. Worth the 20-min walk from Old Quebec! #QuebecEats #HiddenGem #FrenchCuisine #NoMenuMagic
