Ninkasi Bar & Bistro

Excellent place to have a great beer. Try the Blanche de Magwa from Brasserie Depareillée with something fatty like the French fries!

After a lot of searching as tourists, we found this place for their Atmosphere. The staff very helpful for selecting the right meal. Loved their deer Putin beet salad. Their grapefruit and lemon drink was tasty 😋 the staff also gave us hints on where to go for ice cream and bakery. Really appreciate their suggestions.

Great little bar with excellent range of Quebecois craft ales. Staff are very knowledgeable and make you feel really welcome. If you find yourself near the Parliament building and fancy a decent beer then this is your place

In mid December 2021, it was very hard to get reservations anywhere for 6. If you are in the area, skip the packed touristy restaurants and give this place a try - it was our favorite! You will not be disappointed. We walked there during the worst weather of our trip, and it was our best decision. The food was amazing, service impeccable, and everything was spot on. Cannot recommend enough.

Ninkasi is a strategic spot in downtown Quebec City. Are you looking for a refreshing view over a city park? Ask for the rooftop. Are you in a people-watching mode? Ask for the patio on the pedestrian side. Are you bored? Try out one of their activities - there's trivia nights, karaoke, and even figure-drawing workshops with models. All this besides a nice menu, including several vegetarian choices, draft local beers, and original cocktails. Professional and friendly staff.

Better than my expectations. The food is impressive and the show is great. Recommend everyone to check this place!

This place has amazing food strongly recommend. Deer panini simply mouth watering and poutine the way a poutine should be we Canadians know with a nice orange pop for me i was a happy camper . Thank you very much and keep doing the great job.

Nice Bar with good food.
We really enjoyed it there. Service is great - they’re very kind.
If you want a local beer and good food, it’s worth a visit.

Generous food portions, excellent service, great food, located on a popular street that closes to vehicular traffic on weekends. Win-win-win!

Love, love this place. We are staying in Quebec city for a week and have already been here 3 times, 2x for dinner, 1 for karaoke and dancing. Our younger daughter just turned 18 a great experience for her first time being legal. Comfortable, fun, safe environment and 2 employees we got to know were super sweet, happy to see us each time we stopped in and helped us alot with our visit. Would def come back next time we visit Quebec.

Glad we found this spot when most of the street's restaurants were closed new years eve. Friendly service, great poutine.

Had my first ever poutine here. Simply amazing! The chicken nuggets were also tasty and very hot and fresh. The staff are very cool and welcoming, and there's so many beers you'll find something you enjoy!

Hubby and I stopped for a drink. Excellent cidre, stout gin & tonic for m’y man. I ordered a medium beet and goat cheese salad, may have been the best I have had, so delicious with slightly candied pecans, superb! Hubby had the fish & chips with salad instead of fries. He said the fish was amazing with a light tempura batter. Side salad was also very good. Will definitely be back!

I spent a few dollars, an hour or so, and in return had an EXCELLENT experience at the Bistro. Great service, fantastic selection of beer, and the location was, of course, perfect.

Sweet, calm bar scene. Not much to do, but the drinks were good and very cheap! The service was great as well.

Almost perfect service only complaint was it too a bit of time before we were first seen. I wish I remembered our waitresses name she was amazing and deserves a lot of credit for dealing with my limited french. Drinks here are locally sourced. The Ceasar was amazing and the gin (7th heaven) was also great. I wish I grabbed a bottle while in town tho light reason to go back.

Came here after a Concert in town and found all these locals singing Karaoke. Had an absolute blast singing along and dancing with them till the late hours of the evening. Would come back for sure if in town again.

We liked everything about this place. We ate there and it was very tasty. I had duck poutine and my girlfriend had a beet salad. The prices were much better than at restaurants inside the "wall" of Quebec City and the portions were amply sized. The service was very prompt and friendly. We enjoyed the music they played there and it was not filled with yuppie tourists.

Excellent, fun atmosphere for those looking to grab a casual dinner after work with friends or co-workers. Solid prices and a great selection of beers.

Alex is the best DJ I’ve ever had you need to come here!!!
