Was there back in September, but i just found the photo i took so i can add it & write the proper review.
Was there for breakfast & it was pretty busy & they were a little understaffed, but the food was excellent & the service turned out to be really good.
I surely recommend.

My absolute favorite place to eat in all of Quebec. My burger & tuna tartare was incredible, & everyone in my family loved their food as well. I can highly recommend it.

The pork chop was tender & well-balanced - great pairing with cheese, potato, & a flavourful sauce. Recommended.

The fish & shrimp dish completely surprised me.

The skin had this subtle, almost bread-like aroma, with a texture that was gently chewy & lightly crisp at the same time - perfectly balanced, nothing overdone. Paired with the creamy sauce, the whole dish felt incredibly smooth & layered.

The fish itself was firm & satisfying, & the combination actually reminded me of a refined savory cake rather than a typical fish dish. The sides were thoughtful too - crisp greens, mashed potatoes that melted in the mouth, & a touch of tomato for brightness.

Everything felt intentional & well composed. Simple, elegant, & very memorable.

It was very cold outside & after a long day of tours we wanted just soup & salad before bedtime. This is a charming atmosphere with friendly staff. The food was very good & prices are fair. There are a lot of rooms - including a back room with a pool table off the bar area. We would highly recommend. Strategic location opposite the Fairmont on the square.

My mom & I visited in July, & came here twice in the few days we visited. We loved sitting outside & the food was delicious. The servers were so friendly & it was fun to people watch where we were sitting. Highly recommend to come here for drinks & food. We went during lunch time.

Restaurant élégant avec une ambiance raffinée. Le service est impeccable, attentionné sans être intrusif. Les plats sont savoureux, magnifiquement présentés & préparés avec des produits de grande qualité. Une adresse idéale pour une soirée spéciale ou un dîner en tête-à-tête. Je recommande sans hésite
