If you're visiting Quebec City, this is a good change of pace activity, a little off the beaten path. You've got to take the ferry over to Levis from Lower Town to get to this place, but it's worth the trip. You also get to see QC from the other side of the river--quite a view. You can walk to...

There is something about really good Quebec cuisine. They may call it "French", but it is better here at L'Intimiste than any I have had anywhere in France....Mix this diverse gastronomy (emu and a great red wine for example) with the warm and welcome Levi setting, and you have a hit! There is something about taking the ferry from old... More

We found this restaurant by accident while looking for our B&B. We sat outside and had one of their many lunch specials and they were very good! It is on a fairly busy street off the main roadway because of the local activity. It became our understanding that it is one of the better restaurants in Levis and it is... More

Food was excellent, with a nice presentation - we had smoked salmon appetizer, venison steak and red tuna as entrees - all nicely presented with fresh vegetables. the wine list was extensive and nicely balanced. Service was slow and somewhat indifferent. Atmosphere overall is comfortable, but nothing special. Across street from 'Chocolatis Favoris', well rated for ice cream (soft serve)... More

The service and the cuisine were perfection - make sure to try and make sure to get reservations AND for desert, go across the street for the very best soft ice cream you will ever eat.

Came across the ferry to see Quebec lit-up at night. We found this place and were very pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food. Try the wild boar fois gras.

I loved the duck breast in berry sauce (23$). And the steak with fries salad (small portion) and blue cheese sauce (20$) from the lounge bar menu was yummy! However we were still a bit hungry afterward. So might needed an appetizer. The dessert didn't really interest me.

L'Intimiste is a modest size, quiet restaurant on a quiet street in the old part of Levis, not far from the ferry to Quebec. The restaurant is divided into a lounge which serves meals and the restaurant itself. We ate in the restaurant which has a good, not overwhelming menu and an excellent wine list. They have a special wine... More

The service was great. The menu was outstanding and delicious. The atmosphere was, as titled, intimate and romantic. We were not rushed in any way. We will return there again.d
