Cafe Du Clocher Penche Description:
Set in a former bank at the heart of the renascent St Roch neighborhood, once again the heart of Quebec City's downtown, Le Café du Clocher Penché is named after the "leaning steeple" of the historic church across the street. The sunlit room, with its light wood paneling and old-style mosaic flooring, creates a laid-back bistro atmosphere with a pleasantly modern twist. The fare reflects this original yet unassuming style. A simple appetizer of smoked salmon is gracefully set on toasted brioche. The flavor of a grilled flank steak is enhanced by a tangy mixture of preserved lemons and black olives, while a veal chop is served on a bed of bucatini wrapped in wild mushroom sauce. Orange-almond cake gets a topping of jasmine ice cream, while a portion of light and creamy homemade fresh cheese is simply served with a shooter of maple syrup. A knowledgeable sommelier will help you match these revisited classics with reasonably-priced wines bursting with character, crafted by artisan winemakers from Languedoc, Rhône, Piedmont, Burgundy, Spain, or California. Many are available by the glass, including a remarkable selection of sweet wines, included in a list of inspired pairings on the evening dessert menu.
