Très bien situé tout près du Château Frontenac. Excellent service. Lors de votre réservation important de spécifier la salle à manger ou le bistro pour prendre votre repas.

Great Location.. Fabulous Onion Soup & Escargot.. We had the Steak & Frites special.. Cooked exactly as we asked but wish we had choice of steak... only sirloin served.. ok.. but a bit chewy... would of loved a Ribeye..or New York Strip..... Cost an extra 15 on the daily special to have steak.. salmon & or duck was 15 cheaper....Service exemplary..
