Beautiful place to sit outside & enjoy the view of the château! We had breakfast & it was fantastic & plentiful. If breakfast is what you want you need to be aware of the breakfast hours.

Directly across the park & from Chateau Frontenac 1640 Bistro has a fabulous location. They have a lovely patio & it was a perfect spot to enjoy a drink on a warm spring day. The charcuterie boards look phenomenal & some days there are live musicians that play outside just beside the patio.

Wonderful birthday dinner, party of 4, seated at the best table in the window looking up at the Chateau! All meals completely devoured & thoroughly enjoyed including escargot, duck, tuna tartare, steak & fish. Friendly & polite staff, however the drinks & extra bread took way too long. If not for that, rating would be 5 stars.

Hearty breakfasts and refined bistro classics thrive in the timeless charm of Old Québec.
