The story
Ouroboros brings a sharp focus to modern cuisine in Quebec City. The kitchen works from a market-driven approach, letting seasonal ingredients guide each plate. The result is cooking that feels direct, deliberate, and tied to the region.
In 2026, Ouroboros earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand, an award that highlights good quality, good value cooking. It’s a fitting nod to a restaurant that balances ambition with accessibility — the kind of place where thoughtful technique meets honest ingredients.
The dining room offers counter seating alongside traditional tables, giving guests a close view of the action. Service is structured around two seatings, with a generous two-hour-and-fifteen-minute window for the earlier slot. The atmosphere is relaxed but precise, matching the cuisine’s character.
Wine plays a supporting role that feels as considered as the food. Ouroboros describes their program as “living wines” — a term that suggests minimal intervention, vibrancy, and a connection to the land. It pairs naturally with the market-driven philosophy on the plate.
Located at 135 Rue Saint-Joseph Est in Quebec City’s Saint-Roch neighborhood, Ouroboros occupies a space that feels both modern and grounded. Air conditioning keeps things comfortable year-round, and the counter dining option adds an intimate, interactive layer to the meal.
