Kraken Cru — Restaurant in Quebec

really friendly and knowledgeable staff, it takes a while to get the dish but i understand it’s a busy night overall really fresh oysters and very delicious seafood comfort food! the music is pretty chill and i like the homey intimate vibe of the interior.

i had a combination of these oysters

valley pearl small meat, slightly salty, meat is kinda lose, not very memorable

belle du jour small meat, salty brine, metallic and salty but not oceanic, slightly nutty finish

willy small in size, meat lean, light brine, slight taste of cucumber, meat is bland and light at first, a little bit nutty later is it a kind of premium malpaque

cheebooktok very fresh and slightly salty brothy brine, meaty and creamy, have a nutty after taste, huge size, my fav

generally except for the cheebooktok, other oysters have very similar taste, the brine is more balanced, slightly salty, and meat is on the smaller and lose side, a little bit metallic, but overall the flavor profile is kinda similar. oysters are very fresh tho

i love the halibut, the meat is juicy firm and flaky. and it goes so well with the sweet potatoe puree, charred carrots and lobster butter burmese sauce is absolutely amazing, it’s so creamy, so bright and tangy and the earthiness of the tarragon goes really well with the rustic flavor of carrots and sweet potato puree. it’s like a symphony, any combo of the two elements taste really good together. my only thing about it is that the puree could use a sweater sweat potato and make the purée slightly thicker to contrast the lighter burmese sauce. and there are a few more elements that could bring out the crunchiness of the dish aside from the sunflower seeds like fried fish skins, fried brussels sprouts to contrast the creaminess of...

Really wanted to like this place after researching oyster bars in Quebec City for our vacation. Left the restaurant upset, annoyed, and hungry. We were seated quickly, waited for drinks for 30 minutes, then asked if we wanted oysters, waited another 30 minutes until they arrived, then asked again if we wanted to order food and waited another HOUR until we had to confront our waiter if our food was coming soon and were given the wonderful response of “I suppose so?” And then after he checked, he said he “forgot to punch in the order” and that the food could be made in a couple minutes. Meanwhile he checked on our table multiple times and didn’t realize we were waiting? And all of this on a Thursday night with the restaurant half empty.

Really? Please hire competent and at minimum semi professional staff. Ruined our last night in Quebec City, ended up at a restaurant in Old Quebec with a friendly and helpful waiter and our food came out within 10 minutes of...

Wow!!! What a wonderful meal, welcoming staff, and a great atmosphere. This place really hit the spot for me. From the moment I walked in, I was treated like I was in someone’s private home. Pampered by two hosts who were proud of their food, and knowledge in wines and cocktails. I put all my trust in them, with only one instruction - “whatever you recommend.” And did they deliver. I started with a plate of the freshest oysters, and sweetest sea urchin. A must! Then a foie gras with fresh brioche that melted in my mouth, and I am still thinking about. And for the main, black cod that tasted of butter. My only regret was not getting the dessert. Next time!!! By the end of the night, I was filled with tasty creations, good drink, and I had made four new friends. What a memorable night!!! Definitely recommend!!! Definitely...
