Food was good quality, friendly staff. Was really busy & it was a bit overstimulating, but overall I'd go again if I'm in Quebec. Cuisse de canard, pizzas & burgers were all good portion size & desserts were nice.

Delicious food, excellent service, lively but quaint atmosphere. French onion soup was phenomenal. Kids enjoyed their burgers. Ceasar salad was perfection. Nothing bad to say. One bathroom was closed but they have another area of bathrooms we could use. Servers were so friendly & accommodating. This restaurant has so much space.... more than meets the eye. Several nooks & seating areas for any number of guests in your party.

We ended up at Bistro 1640 one night during our 20th anniversary trip, & loved it so much that we went back the next night with our entire family! The service was friendly & accommodating. The atmosphere is great because you can sit on the outdoor patio & people watch while listening to the talented street performers! I loved the chicken caesar salad, the burrata tomato salad, the pasta dishes, & the burgers! My son & I both agreed that they have the best burger we've ever had - & we've had a LOT of burgers. ha! Oh! & I had the tastiest lemonade I've ever had in my life. It was their housemate fruit lemonade & came with a gooseberry on top. I can't even describe how heavenly this tasted & smelled. My entire family was envious. I can't recommend this place enough!! It's a must!

The food was not good at all. It was of very poor quality. Had some of the smoked meat sandwich & it was incredibly fatty. The French fries were not very good. My wife's burger was average at best. Having said all of that, their maple cream brûle was excellent. Overall, very poor value for money.

Fantastic Food! We were in Quebec City for a few days in February & were so impressed the first time we went back again the next day (before our train). The staff are really friendly & attentive. We had the smoked meat sandwich & the classic burger both of which were excellent. Highly recommend!

Ce qui a fait la différence aujourd'hui c'est notre charmante serveuse Rym. Attentive & polie tout en étant discrète. Rym est vraiment à son affaire, elle s'assure que toutes ses tables sont satisfaites Excellente nourriture ; Les burgers & la Planche de fromage sont nos favoris (10 sur 10 ).
