After roaming around Old Quebec City trying to find a place where we could be seated right away we finally found Côtes A Côtes Resto-Grill tucked away in a street corner. We weren't expecting too much from this place since all the other restaurants in the area either couldn't seat us at all that night or had an hour plus wait time. We were so wrong. The service and food was excellent. The décor is intimate - dim lighting, white tablecloth and zebra-print chairs. I have learned that you can't go wrong (all the time) with zebra-print chairs.
Major plus - they were playing the NHL All Star competitions on their flat screen.
We were given a small bowl of olives and chips while we were reviewing the menu.
Most of us opted for their 3 course $30 set menu. I had the following:
Lobster bisque with shrimp served in what they call a puff pastry tulip. It was really good but could have been a bit hotter. By the time I had it was on the warmer side but it's fine. I did eat it rather quickly (I was hungry!).
Half a rack of baby back ribs with fries, onion rings and mayo (ketchup apparently is hardly served in Quebec restaurants). This hit the spot. Fall off the bone, juicy meat smothered in BBQ sauce. Ah-mazing. Half a rack is plenty - even the guys were happy with the amount.
Raspberry cake - I figured I should have something light for dessert so I opted for this over the bowl of fruit (yeah, I can't really call a bowl of fruit dessert unless if comes with a sponge cake, custard or whipped cream). Anyway, this fit the bill but it still tasted a tad frozen in the centre.
We came out satisfied and stuffed. Loved it.
