Reviews of Archibald Microbrasserie - Resto-Pub Sainte-Foy (Kindergarten)

Denys Drozdyuk

Very nice outside patio with fire. Nice pastas and fresh beer. Tasty desert brownie. Nice and chill place to have a relaxing chilled evening. Would recommend.

Nick Trapani

English friendly and good food if you are staying in the nearby hotels. They are a craft brewery and their beers are actually very good. This is a good place if you are staying here for business and have several clients you would like to take to dinner. Its classy but not over the top and relaxed as well. Quiet enough to have a dinner conversation and the palette of the food will not disappoint you. Coming from a sicilian I have high standards for anything pasta and pizza and have tried both here and am impressed to say the least.

Patrick Brouder

Not a bad spot if you are stuck in the area but not as good as some other Archibald locations. The nachos are very good but the poutine is not very good (especially for Quebec!) and is a bit pricey. A few of their beers are pretty good (e.g., cream ale, bock).

Luc Bonenfant

Ordered nachos and ended up half burned and they still served it and we waited to tell them but it took over 20 minutes and ended up being hungry so we ate a little bit and they came back and refused to change it even burned. The beer is good but the waitresses didn't come often for water.

Archibald's is a business travelers Oasis. The menu is both diverse in flavors and wide ranging in price. You want a full meal, they have it. You want something light, they have it. Not the same old fare. They twist it just right, and will accommodate you if you wish the traditional. The proprietary brew is quite excellent, and they encourage you to taste/sample before you make your selection. Such hospitality is rarely encountered in any country. If you have any questions or concerns, address Jean-Francois, the manager, he will assist you. The out-dated stereotype of needing to speak French in Quebec does not exist at this delightful venue.

Lana Cox

While staying at a hotel nearby, we visited Archibalds at their recommendation. Relaxing atmosphere, quick service, and pleasant staff made our stay enjoyable. But their beer and pub food made it worth coming back for. Nice selection and well crafted beer started the evening. The appetizer portions were generous and tasty. Would certainly recommend to a friend!

Patrick Deschamps

It is expensive and does not have the most amazing food you can find for its price. Beers are good however. The good of this restaurant/bar is there are several options of places to sit. Crowed place during happy hours.

superfannrock

Great food, we had pasta and fish and chips. Great atmosphere, fairly quiet which was refreshing. Comfortable booths. Friendly, extremely helpful staff with a sense of humour. Merci beaucoup.

Jean-Philippe Langlais

Extremely well adapted to Covid. Great food. Great service. Just a plain old great experience overall ????

Andrew Lutzuk

Upscale brewpub with "hunting cabin" decor. Serve a large selection of Archibald beers but also cocktails. I had one of the burgers and it was good. What I liked most was that it wasn't over done in terms of sauces and toppings. Overall although it was good I had a nice experience I felt like it was a little pricey for what it was.

Bobby Theriault

Great place, great service. Everybody there is very kind. I highly recommand this place. I go there many times per month and I never found something negative to tell about it. I give a 5 star for their good service.

Francois Delisle

Nice place for a beer and a meal or one without the other. Its a microbrewery with above average beer. For food the menu is complete, so everyone should find something to their taste. The best fries I ever had and the warm olives are a nice toutch! Lumbersexual decor so prepare to be enchented or turned off.

Sarah-Kim Boucher

Great welcoming, good applicant ion of covid protocols, fast service and amazing food

Philippe Lamarre

Local brewery. They do good beers. Personally the menu is OK. Quality/Price then more on the price and less in quality. They would get a lot renewing the menu, more freshness and add some mixology on the alcohol tab.

Philippe Baron

The food is good and the beer is above average. Be careful about going on weekends because it's always full. Even if you have a reservation, you'll have to wait between 15-30 minutes to have your table. Happened to me twice that our group had to awkwardly wait in the entrance while we were waiting for our supposedly reserved table to be ready.

Tim Widmer

The meal was really good, it came as described in the menu. Had a lot of flavour. Most of which were a little off for my taste preferences. A great meal at a fair value.

Stacy Coombs

had an overnight trip was a very raining day and was recommended to try this spot.. I was very impressed wasn't what I expected at all was thinking small pub like style.... space is very clean workers were very friendly food was awesome and there was also a live band.. good spot to chill

Jeff

Very good atmosphere and great food! Staff was friendly and accommodating. We were given a table very quickly and out food was delivered very fast.

Igor Sataric

I am eating at Archibald for about 15 years now, going out with business partners and family.... every and each time it is a 100% satisfaction. Keep up the good work guys!

Jennifer Abdalla, Faith Formation

Fantastic food and wonderful atmosphere. Service was friendly too. Highly recommended!

sandra mudimbi

Very nice place. Good service.

C Mitchell

Good service and delicious sangria

kaley court

Loved this location! Live music, but not too loud. Could easily talk without shouting at our table. Great food, but a bit pricey for what it was.

LEONARDO BLENGINI

Really nice place to eat and lease music, the food are very good, also you can hear good music. The people are really friendly.

Daly souissi

Relatively expensive for what it tastes, plate presentation is well, staff is friendly, clean and the menu is rich... if you like beers this is the place, do not expect to eat well though..

Niko R

Archibald is a Quebec City local brewery with number of different types of beer. The restaurant is close to the airport.Food is very good and the atmosphere is very pleasant. Nice mix of young and mature crowd. I like better the bar side, …

Kate Gerogianis

Good food and service..a bit noisy so hard to have conversations..

Bernard THERIAULT

Food excellent, service excellent, This is à micro brewery, very crowdy And loud on the sport side with live music.

Lyubomir Dimitrov

Very nice and comfortable place. Staff are pretty friendly as expected. Nice beer selection. The IPA is not bad, with 70 IBU and a smooth but simple taste. However, it's a bit overpriced. 22 dollars before tax and tip for a plate with 7 nuggets/bites of the cheapest fish on the market is a bit too much.

Marc-Andre Laliberte

Very popular place and by far the best in this area. The ambiance is great, lots of baeutiful people! I particularly enjoy the huge terrace in summer and fall (there is a retractable roof as well as heaters). They are famous for their selection of beers (which are now available in all groceries) but also for the menu which has quite a few great local dishes.

Eric Silski

Excellent brews at very good prices. I didn't try the food but the service for the beers was outstanding. Highly recommended! I particularly like the aesthetic of the whole place.

nicole germain

Very good service at the bar area. The ceasar salad was really good and the wings were OK.

Gerald Batten

burgers are average, salads and beer are very good. A bit expensive for what you get but great atmosphere. Patio is awesome!

CrisMind

Delicious food, great beer, friendly staff, fun atmosphere. Had a great time. Highly recommend!

Bradley Ferguson

Great place! Seems very trendy. I had the Tartare Duo, salmon and beef, which was excellent. They serve a number excellent beer choices as well. Staff is friendly and helpful. I would recommend this place for visitors.

Nelson Neves

Decor , patio, furniture fireplaces, very cozy, beer was reasonably priced, food was a bit overpriced. Great Cesar salad. Friendly staff.

Janine “J9” Weatherby

This place was awesome! The music was unbelievably great all the hits everyone knew. Playlist Duo was the band and a non-stop hit after hit. A great time. The food and service was to die for. Amazing people all around. A must for everyone.

teh Kowal

Beers a great, food however I feel is a bit over priced, however quality and selection is always on point. Honestly, one of my staples, never have had a bad experience here.

Dionysios Gosselin

As “Canadian “ as you are going to get. We found this place as we were heading back from a weekend of fun in QC,QC. It is your stereotype of Canada come to life with the antler chandeliers, plaid decor and cool Canadiana over the walls throughout the walls. The food was really quite something and everyone ordered something unique. I had the blood pudding and the kids all chomped it down. Otherwise they have great burgers, pastas pizzas and house brewed beers! Overall a great little find and just off the main road into town which means we will be heading back on subsequent trips to the Belle Province.

Denis Mur

Ok place ...beer...a lot of option but be careful...I am fan of light beer so go for Blanche or Blonde....Beer I mean ..lol

Keith Goosen

Great looking decore, and excellent food. Friendly bilingual speaking staff. I plan on coming back this evening for the live music (band).

Rick Girthquake

They serve in house beer. If you like hipster style beer you will like it. Lots of choices. Steak I had was pretty good, tad chewy for the high price point. The tables are affixed to structural steel I-beams which I found a bit odd. Trophy heads on the walls are cool. Nice big patio.

Eric Milt

Nice place. People are cool the serving is great. The food is good plus the craft beer

Marzena K

Definitively great vibes, live music! Had a sirloin steak and it was ok.

Victor Torres

Good environment, good food and good staff. Price is a bit above average. A nice place to happy hours

Justin Stone

What an amazing place! Great food, service, atmosphere, and drink!! The microbrews are amazing. I had the Veuve Noir, it was delicous, rich, and very smooth. Make sure you save room for dessert, the cheese cake was sublime!! Definitely check this place out if you're in the Sainte Foy area.

Michael Nunan

Archibald was recomended to me during a recent business trip. It was a Thursday evening and the large place was packed! I had one of their own beer's while waiting - it was very good. When we sat down we were given a great snack of warm olives - very good. I had the Mussels in Coconut Cury - it was very good and plentiful. My friend tried one of the Tartars - his first time to try a tartar and he really enjoyed it. Highly recomended - reservations are probably a good idea!

Kevin Benjamin Moussa

Great main meals, great beers and great service. The only thing is the entrées are really overpriced. It costs as much as a main meal and is in tiny portions. I ordered a burger for 21$ and fried calamaris for 20$. The size was really a joke, you are better off just buying 2 meals at this point.

Nile Livesey (Scolirk)

I was very happy finding this location when we were in Québec. Service was good, menu was plentiful, and everything tasted great. Would definitely come back when I’m in town next!

Franck Edet

Great place to share time with friends

Marc-Andre Frenette

Good beer and good service. The place gets busy on Thursday through Saturday evenings otherwise its a nice place to unwind.

Ben Robitaille

Food was ok. Small portions Quite noisy. This is good place for fast lunch or cocktails with the boys

Steven Cruz

Was a hotel around the corner. Had dinner there..nachos with smoked meat . Was great. The service was good. Look forward to going back

Stephanie Gaulding

Really good food - had duck breast and my guy had a mushroom and goat cheese burger. Indoor and outdoor seating.

Francois Brosseau

this place is overrated, yes the place looks great, but othe than that, the beer is not very good (from a guy that drinks a lot of craft beer and my work is to counsel people on beer too) the foos is not but but again, overpriced. …

Earl Brian

The Archibald was highly recommended by a friend of mine and in the 2 weeks we were in Quebec city, we went 3 times. Service is fast, the servers are nice and the food is amazing. I mean everything i tried was delicious. They also have a very nice selection of craft beers which you can get sampler flights. 10/10 would recommend.

Nouck BD

Pretty good restaurant to go to. Friendly staff, good service and food was good. You must try the beers. This time I tried Irish cream ale, very good. ???? Stop by after or before flying. Very close to the airport.

Alexandra Bissonnette

What an awful and embarrassing experience. We traveled from Ottawa to enjoy an evening in beautiful Quebec City. We were looking for a nice place to have a bite to eat and some drinks. When arriving the hostess told us it was 2$ cover charge but it was actually coat check and then charged us 80$ to enter. Once realizing the situation (we should have earlier I know) we asked to speak to a manager to discuss the situation because it was a simple miscommunication. They stood there talking to eachother and after several minutes of standing there he walked up and said right away "are you English" we said yes he said "so what do you want to do" when we began to peacefully explain the situation he said I was crazy and being rude and then literally ran away saying "this is the night life".He also continued to say to my male friend that "his woman(aka me) is out of control". I truly felt discriminated against as a female. In all my years I have never been referred to as someone's women. I I have worked way to hard in life to be referred to as someone's property. I have never experienced such discrimination and unprofessional behaviour in my entire life. I am sincerely embarrassed and I will make sure each friend from Ontario will know that this establishment clearly has an issue with either tourists from Ontario, English speaking citizens or educated women with actual opinions. This establishment has clearly shown a blaitant act of discrimination and sexism. I will ensure to bring this further and reach out to local media. Absolutely disgusting behaviour.

ann marie danch

Our hotel.was across the road, it was late and pouring rain- glad we chose this spit over the others nearby! Food was truly delicious, friendly service in English and French with great suggestions for food, and the beer was so good we bought some to bring home! Some live music in the bar was broadcast in house on TV's, so got to listen to the music while.eating too.

Samuel Kack

Not sure what crowd is gathered there. It's a restaurant/night club with a heated terrasse. However nice homebrew beer selection and food. Nice decor.

Kaitlyn Ratzlaff

I wish there was no stars. This place was so unprofessional. The owner is sexist, and the hostess don't know how to explain things properly. I'm never coming here ever again and telling people to stay away. The manager told my friends husband "your women's out of control" he's so uneducated and should not own a business. We travelled from Ottawa for the weekend for New Years and wanted a bite to eat and got caught in a miscommunication between the hostess who eventually grabbed the manager who was just as unprofessional about it all. All we wanted was a refund. I have never been so embarrassed until coming to this establishment. Please if you are traveling from Ontario please do not go to this establishment this is a clear example of the classic issues between Quebec and Ontario. So sad.

Bernard

Great microbrewery beers for all types (IPA's to Cream Ales), great innovations on our favourite foods, high quality.

fred legare

Went on a thursday night, food was good ambiance and decor is really nice. The music was quite loud during dinning hours, there was a live band that started at 2100h and I understand that they cranked the volume up then. But, at 1830 or 1900, a bit quieter would've made conversations at our table easier.

Viz John

I was trying to have a table where there was less noise but the waiter told me it was not possible because their alcool permit wasn't covering this part of the restaurant... This really sounds like a straight lie. Therefore, terrible experience for me

Shannon Kratz

Amazing establishment. Prompt seating and service. Amazing food, well priced. Will definitely dine here again the next time I'm in town.

Simon Hebert

Soooo good the Highland meat they use in the burgers was the best I ever had.The beer mayo was extraordinary,the fries were good. Goat cheese pizza was very generous and awesome .Definitely recommend it! Ohh...and the beer is great...they have funny names too

daniel duffy

A very popular busy spot for lunch and dinner. Bar side is busy with great energy lunch or dinner time. Live music adds to amazing atmosphere later on in the week. House beers are a must try! Interesting creative menu with efficient service and friendly staff which are easy to find and willing to add to your experience. If you are in the area at one of the local hotels, this is a spot you must try!

Family McGrattan

The service was phenomenal. The poutine was the best we’ve ever had, and the beers were great. We would be coming back to Archibald if we are ever back in Québec City.

Gary Bishop

Loved the food here. Service was great. And met some very nice people.

Dominique Violette

Food is good, beer is great. They have a nice heated terrace. The prices are a bit higher than some other micro breweries around the city.

dc B

Excellent restaurant, great service.

JR Bélanger

Love to visit this place! Good food and even better service. Often small shows during the weekends.

Pierre Bertrand

Nice craft beer, good food for a pub. Live bands are usually quite good. Pretty hopping place, mostly for the 30s and 40s crowd.

Mathew Warren

This review is during quarantine, and the service we got here was incredible! The food was as good as advertised and their microbrews are delicious. They even played my favorite band.

Ghislain Godin

Had the pleasure of eating here a few times while on work travels. Service was quick and friendly as one would expect. The few nights I went it was very busy but we were accomodatesld the best they could. For a micro brew the beer selection is quite large and will satisfy any taste. The only downside is what I found to be a smaller appetizers menu, would of been nice to have a few more choices for a late night snack. Would definitely come again.

Daniel Herraiz

Nice place, full of people and a bit noisy. Tasteless pizza but good pasta dishes. The brownie was too dense.

J.P. Chartier

Yes. Just yes. There's so much to love about this place. Its most amazing quality? The staff. The service they give the great job they do at making you feel at home is worth every penny.

Juan Runnells

11 pm on a Thursday night. We had a pizza, the wings and the nachos, I struggle to find better food at many bars and restaurants. Definitely will return when next in Quebec City

marianna navarro

The place is big and busy, nothing wrong with that . The staff is friendly. They have plenty of beer selection. We came late at night and ordered the burger, I ask if I could have a medium rare patty but the server told me that due to the amount of orders all burgers were served well done.bummer ! We didn't try appetizer so no comments . Beers were good quality.
