About Artefact

Bar Artefact, inside the Auberge Saint-Antoine, delivers bistro cooking from Chef Lucas Brocheton and one of Québec City's stronger cocktail programs in a room built around the 18th-century Dauphine Battery archaeological site. The menu changes with what's available from Île d'Orléans and Charlevoix producers, and the bar stocks Québec spirits and back-vintage Armagnac. Best for a casual meal with serious drinks in Old Québec — book an alcove if you want privacy.
