The story

La Planque, Québec – Modern Cuisine in Limoilou with a Michelin Nod

A Place to Settle In

In the heart of Québec’s Limoilou district, La Planque invites you to do exactly what its name suggests: settle in. The restaurant’s philosophy is rooted in respect for local, seasonal ingredients, presented with both creativity and restraint. The menu changes with the seasons, but the approach remains constant: let the produce speak.

The Vibe and the Crew

The space is warm and unpretentious, with a focus on shared experience. Behind the bar, Maxime Maltais crafts a cocktail list that evolves throughout the year, offering fresh pairings for the evolving menu. The kitchen works with a light touch, making the most of what the region offers.

What’s on the Table

While the menu shifts, certain signatures appear regularly. A few examples from the current offering: escargots with a scallop cream and rice, grilled octopus with chimichurri and fried olives, and a beef tartare with chipotle and bacon. Main courses might include Quebec pork with leeks and fennel, or fresh pasta with a white bolognese of lamb and almonds. Dessert often features a carrot cake with whipped mascarpone and caramel sauce.

The Michelin Recognition

La Planque’s commitment to quality and local sourcing has earned it a place in the Michelin guide for 2026, listed as Recommended. It’s a nod to the kind of modern cuisine that feels both grounded and exciting—a restaurant that makes Limoilou a destination in itself.
