🍽️ Food Review: Il Teatro Ristorante at Le Capitole Hotel, Quebec City 🇨🇦

For starters, we had the Burrata appetizer 🧀—Fresh pasta filata cheese, blackberries, cherry tomatoes, fig balsamic, mint, basil, and pine nuts. The combo of blackberries and tomatoes was interesting! I really enjoyed it, though I wished they stuck with one or the other. Also, I hoped for the burrata to have a bit more of that oozy goodness, if you know what I mean? 7/10.

For our mains:

• Capesante (Scallops) 🐚: These roasted U10 scallops with Brussels sprout leaves, saffron and lemon aioli, lobster emulsion, and mujol caviar were mind-blowing! That one bite with the caviar and sauce took me to a different universe 🌟. 10/10, easily.
• Burrata e Coppa Pizza 🍕: Tomato sauce, burrata, coppa, arugula, and balsamic reduction. This pizza was fantastic if you’re after something more exciting than the usual cheese pie. I just wished for a bit more ooze from the burrata! 9/10.
• Picatta di Vitello (Veal) 🍖: Stacked veal filet scallopini au gratin with fontina, tomato compote, meat glaze, fried sage, market vegetables, and potato pave. A well-executed dish all around, loved the fried sage! Another solid 9/10.

💡 The restaurant has a moody, intimate ambiance, perfect for a date night. Just keep in mind, you’ll be paying a bit extra for the experience.

Food: 9/10 (Don’t miss the scallops, trust me!) Ambiance: 8/10 Affordability: 4/10 (pricey but worth it!)
