Come take shelter: the door is open
By definition, La Planque is a shelter. It’s a hidden place, warm. This is the kind of place where you can take shelter.

Safe from our Quebec storms, away from our routines, out of our worries … away from what you want, in fact.
We put La Planque up to put in a safe place what held us most at heart: quality food, good wine, tasty beer and music that makes us smile. Our greatest wish? Share it all with you, because after all,
There’s no better way to enjoy the summer than to sit at a table at La Planque in the heart of the bustling 3e avenue! Thanks to the SDC Limoilou, the portion of the street facing the restaurant is completely pedestrian from June to September. Please note that no reservations are taken for the terrace.
The bar area is the best place for a relax night in good compagny. You will satisfy your curiosity with our enthusiatic barmans/barmaids who will reveal you the secret of a good old fashioned or a homemade cocktail.Come party with us!
The mezzanine allows you to enjoy the bar area and catch a glimpse of the action in our kitchen. This section is a bit quieter and is conducive to a more intimate evening.
Do you like seeing the cooks at work, smelling the aromas, and being in the heart of the action? This section is perfect for you! Enjoy a view of the kitchen, take in the hard work and learn the techniques of our chefs. At the bar or comfortably seated at a table, experience a flavourful evening!

Since her arrival at La Planque in 2015, Marie-Claude has brought amazement and smiles to people’s faces through her great wine finds and infinite energy. She embodies the soul of the restaurant: always festive and ready for top-notch eating and drinking. She proposes a wine list that highlights mostly Quebec and French wines, that follow trends and seasons in harmony with the menu. The wine list is suitable for all tastes and all budgets.
Always ready to crack a joke and welcome guests with open arms, Fred is the father of La Planque. You may find him behind the bar, at the reception to seat you, or even next door at Le Cendrillon, which he co-owns.
Since its opening in 2012, La Planque has been the talk of the town thanks to its electrifying atmosphere. Chef Guillaume St-Pierre, along with Laurence Tremblay-Vachon and Frédéric Samson, brought new life to the 3e avenue, which was less trendy at the time.
Olivier Godbout, chef at Le Cercle restaurant and former participant of the show Les Chefs, took over from Guillaume St-Pierre three years later and became a co-owner.
And since one project inspires another, Frédéric opened Le Cendrillon in 2015 along Carl Dumas and Joffrey Beaulieu, two friends who are also passionate about the restaurant world. Located just next door at 1039 3e avenue, Le Cendrillon is La Planque’s rebellious sister, with shared plates on offer paired with casual vibes.
2018 was an exceptional and eventful year for La Planque! The restaurant was renovated from top to bottom, and we decided to showcase the works of artists that we particularly like: the wooden horn light fixture by Sylvain Gingras, the works of the artist-painter Isabelle Alain and the objects of ceramist Mireille Gagnon.

In 2020, at the start of the pandemic, Joël Pelletier took over the restaurant’s kitchen, supported by sous-chef Thomas Barry. Together, they met the take-out challenge brilliantly and reopened the kitchen (several times), always striving to explore new products and flavours.
We’ve been taking shelter here for the same reasons since the very beginning: to share quality food, delicious wine, tasty beer and fantastic music… a winning combo that brings good cheer and a smile to everyone’s faces.
Thank you for taking shelter with us for the past 10 years!
