Quebec City Restaurant Reviews - Million Dollar Critic with Giles Coren,
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 мар 2018
- Giles has high hopes for "La Vieille-Capitale" as he's keen to discover a new kind of French cuisine. As one of the oldest European settlements in North America (1608), has the adventuresome spirit of Quebec's founders inspired an emerging food scene that impresses Giles?

It is not true that Quebec cuisine is young and without any History. Geez. There are long tradition of paysan food with meatpies (tourtière, cipaille, etc.), pies (maple sugar pie), pickled beets, sugar shack food (baked beans, pork rinds, ham, pea soup) etc.
Come on! How could a million dollar food critic not know what a geoduck is!? This is entertaining tho.
IM FROM WENDAKE! I’m Wendat, and honestly I love la traite, sagamete is my comfort food, my family loves Elk and Bison meats and my great grandfather was a huge fan of moose and bear.
This guy is hysterical. I’m headed to Quebec City in A couple of months and only wish he reviewed a few more “approachable” restaurants. We will be having some soup for lunch but still looking for some great dinner options.
Hummm ,,,,Quebec’s fusion cuisines look soo yummy. Thank’s for sharing this interessting video….I had put Quebec into my bucket list…Hope next year I can make it! Best regards…. Salut!
I've agreed with him on all his other decisions, but soup & cie were rubbish, haha, he only gave them the review because they said he was handsome hahaha, they were brutal...a bowl of soup and some meat buried in leaves wow. I liked the Japanese guys myself, i would serve more lets just say, approachable food...for the Canadian palate, soup & cie...take a hike.
Yeah what a bizarre concept. Typically these restaurants have a short lived novelty.
@@SophieJackson1993 Soup & Cie is still there five years later! They're very popular with the locals, especially at lunch time. They had to close for a while due to a fire but they've reopened this year.
it is a Geoduck clam
“As well as the chips of potatoes” 😂😂😂😂 29:42
I was in Quebec City 6 months ago. I wish I knew of these resturants.
non cursing gordon ramsey i like this
Yes 😂
Watching this in 2020😂
Good series. Well done.
Sugar shacks aren't just tourist traps, a lot of locals go there too, me included tho not the same location. Shugar shacks are normally only open while in maple season: A short period when water freeze at night and melts in the day. This is the best kind of place to get real Canadian cuisine. And there are thousands of sugar shacks all over eastern and central Canada. Sugar shacks don't usually make you dance but they do play rigodon like the one they played except normally there's singing with it too. There's a lead singer who says a few words then everyone who wants to sing repeats after him and so on. If you are like me and wish to simply listen i recommend the band Carotté.
I adore this series, now 2nd time around but risk being rude. How does Giles stay so thin. If it’s bad food does he regurgitate. So sorry Giles . Perhaps you don’t eat for days after. Anyway I am very old, in bed and need this wonderful entertainment. Bless you.
I had seal while living in Newfoundland. It's a very strong taste, and not familiar to those not used to eating it. I think he should have gone for a more traditional game meat.
The Japanese chef in the first restaurant is hot as hell
I listened carefully twice and you just asked for "Canadian wine" not "Canadian white wine." You have to ask if you want something specific...
Actually he did ask for a glass of Canadian white, 28:57-28:58
@@claudiamatolcsy When you speak in a foreign language to someone you have to articulate. It sounded "wine" to me. Furthermore "Canadian white" is slang, don't use slang with non native. CQFD
Actually he asked to the waitress at 28:52...
Him: do you have a Canadian one?
Her: Yes of course.
Him: I'll have a glass of Canadian wine.
He said Canadian white
He said Canadian white
6 minutes: I was hopin for more than just you eatin food: conflicts and interactions of the workplace, management styles, problems, marketin, hygiene, and so on.
did he just think the gyoza is a pasta dish?
i ate at laffaire est ketchup the other night. it was one of the best meals iv ever had in my life!
I got to be so sick of shows showin incompetent restaurateurs, that I sought after one that shows capable restaurateurs, and consider my self to be blessed or lucky to have found this one straightway...tentatively, as I haven't watched it yet.
A refreshing vignette approach. Ta, GC
He first asked if they have Canadian wine, the server said they did, then he asked for a glass of Canadian WHITE. He wasn't wrong about asking for it, though I think his attitude about it stank. The sommelier brought an obvious bottle of red wine, and he could have said something before he poured an entire glass.
especially because their first language is french. its easier if he said it more clearly.
I live in quebec city and you did not eat a the best place haha is this a joke, but i got a say you did a great job out there
You don’t understand the premise of this show. He isn’t travelling there to ‘find the best.’ Not at all. He’s going there to find the best restaurant that is struggling severely, enough to want his help, people that are aware of who he is and restaurants that are massively different from other places he’s comparing them with. I don’t know why a lot of you people assume that he’s trying to find the best restaurant in your city. He isn’t doing that. He is travelling to your town to narrow down five restaurants that are doing unique things, that have a huge issue and need his million dollar review to continue surviving. They need a bigger space, they need more exposure, they need a different clientele etc. The restaurants you’re talking about DONT need his help, clearly. They’ve already got all of that under control and so why would it make sense for Giles to help those places when they literally don’t need any help? Haha.
@@SophieJackson1993 good to know, thanks, we don,t know him in Quebec, language barrier and all that, so the premice are a bit unclear to us.
Même pas allez chez Ashton’s pour sa Poutine.
Anthony Was so much better
when chefs are getting reviewed by someone who knows less about food than them.. let me introduce you to Giles Coren
Alot of food critics are a like him , but they give credit where credits due
No!! i am so disappointed he chose the soup place
:( he waited forever for his mediocre looking soup i am convinced he chose it for the “pretty ladies” :( … i really wanted the first nations restaurant to win they are making a huge effort and it was a beautiful place. I am sure there are other things on the menu other than seal that people would enjoy. I also loved the family Japanese restaurant i would definitely go there on a regular basis
Don't worry, Hosaka-ya Ramen is doing wonderful business! There's always a line up there if you don't get there early! And we have TWO native restaurants now, with La Traite and La Sagamité.
Anthony Bourdain reviews 👍.
In reference to Panache, it would have been an easy thing to tell the sommelier arriving at the table with a bottle of red that he had asked for a white wine. Maybe the tester felt a bit insecure in such environment.Good luck further on
Anyways, he never said "white" in his request.
Hummmm…. Un peu Bizarre comme choix de resto! Si vous le désirez, je peux vous en recommander de bien meilleurs et beaucoup plus a🎉typiques!! Faites moi simplement signe! 😊
Would have been hilarous if he had zagged and pick the Buffet de l'Antiquaire at the last second :p
You haven’t a clue next time in Toronto go to mr sub or 7 11
hosaka-ya does not look like that place anymore. everyone in there were not asian, and not that family.
Outright lunacy; that is, to compare such a wide range and variety of restaurants within the same review. Nonetheless, some notable observations and comments made during the review are indeed correct. In any event, and in my opinion, you don't represent the patrons who would habitually choose to eat in most of these restaurants. In closing, it would be interesting for you to identify for us all (viewers) your selecting process and sampling methodology! For all of these reasons, this review is bogus.
Why not have some REAL Canadian food? Stuff like poutine, smoked meat, etc.
"Associated with Huff Post" is a reprehensible resumé . "The friend of the established order is the foe of God."
Seal is unclean food -- does not part the hoof nor chew the cud.
ok nd what book of outdated bullshit are you pulling that from the Torah or the Quaran.
He did say Canadian white
to my French Canadian ears it could have gone either way, I think the accent caused the confusion here
I hate these pretentious food critics ... I'm sure he can't boil water by himself.
Listen to your video again...you NEVER asked for white wine... just Canadian wine. That being said, they should have brought you a much better wine, like Osoyoos Larose from British Columbia. Oh well....
He asked for a "Canadian white"... not "canadian wine"
That hipster dinner seems nothing for me either Looked more like a student party then dinner
It's experimental
I think you made the right choice Giles! The chairs need changing.
Roch = Rok
A lot of people are moaning about him but i have seen much worse than he is . I don't find him rude just honest
Bah so dramatic I'm here for the food not pretension lol
Surprised your not over weight Giles
Insufferable! Bye...
yes we do have a lot of asian food that are popular in Canada with a Canadian twist... But only Japanese thing popular here is Sushi. Ramen is actually not a big hit here. I hear its popular in the US tho. Only 3 minutes 30 in and i'm already questioning the competence of your "assistant" in her research abilities. The more popular asian foods in Canada are Thei and Cantonese. Mongolian is fairly popular too. I know ramen isn't popular because when i was a kid and watched naruto i learned about Ramen, wanted to try it, so i went to try to find some.... 10 years later not found any. Almost took 20 years to find imported ramen and when i finally tried it.... I didn't like it..... Talk about a waste of time.

There is a real french Canadian soup that actually tastes good and its split pea soup & ham. Tastes far better then that ramen crap and is much healthier.
Wrong turn to the toilet? He has a lot of class. Eh? I hope he is miserable in Canada.
There are so many better restaurants then those. You clearly went only for the more online famous ones. If you trully want the best you'll need to send in people to physically ask people on the street what is a best restaurants then go incognitos to try them themselves and then they decide a top 5 for you to try. Instead of a slopy job like this.
Ohhh boy...another pompous pom!
Pourquoi son nom est-il russe ? C'est de la trahison.
Wow. You must be the most ubnocsious person in the UK. First, just so you know, Soup & Cie means Soup and company. (Not soup and see, as you pronounced it...) . I must say your ‘L’affaire est ketchup’ review is 50% right. They are a bunch of kids having fun and getting drunk; there kitchen is a joke, but the food is just something else. In 2020, they are still going strong and did not need your million dollar review... anyway you are unknown in this Province so your review ain’t worth much here. Panache is where your buddy Paul McCarthy goes and stays every time he comes to Quebec city. He loves that place... They did not need your review either; whatever they said...Did you ask for white wine? I just heard Canadian wine... I’ll have to listen to your order again.... Will I watch this whole video... not sure.
Why Quebec City? There Are Many Other Much Nicer Places To Visit And Spend Your Money..
Did you ever visit Quebec City?
@@frozen95 I Live On Grande Allee Ouest In The Montcalm Neighbourhood In Quebec City...
Angry little boy ^.
Would personally not trade my hometown for any other in the country, food included.
Admittedly the critic didn't try most of what are considered the best restaurants in the city.
MGTOW Sometimes we don’t appreciate what our hometowns have to offer and visitors do it for us, I took my home town for granted and used to think the same way you do about Quebec ... now I live far away from there and my way to connect is watching travelers having a great time in the beautiful city I grew up. BTW I’m looking forward to my trip to Quebec City. :)
Quebec is easily one of the top 3 places in North America
