The story
At Kundah Hôtel, the guiding principle is simple: “Inspired by the flavors of India, prepared with the treasures of here.” The restaurant, located on rue de la Couronne in Québec City, brings together the spice‑laden traditions of Indian cooking and the exceptional ingredients of the surrounding region. The result is a cuisine that feels both deeply rooted and refreshingly local.
The team’s mission is to offer Indian‑inspired dishes built on quality Quebecois products and their own savoir‑faire. Every plate is designed for a memorable meal, whether you are seated at the counter or at a table.
The menu reads like a map of Indian classics rewritten with Québec’s best. Snacks such as Argousier Puri (crisp shells filled with puffed rice, fruit sauce, yogurt, and sweet sea‑buckthorn) and Bhaji (mushroom fritters with chaat masala and herb chutney) set the tone. Larger plates continue the conversation: Canard au Beurre — confit Québec duck in a buttery tomato sauce with kasuri methi — and Agneau Korma, braised local lamb with pickled ginger and korma sauce. Vegetables get equal attention: tandoori‑spiced cauliflower with yogurt, chili, and pistachios, or Palak Perron — caraway‑marinated cheese curds under a creamy sweet‑potato spinach.
Each dish proudly marks its local provenance, and the cooking technique respects both Indian spice logic and the character of the ingredient.
In 2026, Kundah Hôtel earned a Michelin Recommended distinction, a nod to the kitchen’s confident execution and the clarity of its concept. The award acknowledges what the restaurant has been doing from the start: making Indian food that speaks to its place — both the country of inspiration and the province that supplies the larder. No gimmicks, just thoughtful cooking from a team that knows its spices and its terroir.
