Great atmosphere, food was pretty good. Calamari & the four cheese pizza was my personal favourites

The food & service was exceptional! The bathroom was quite dirty & hadn't been cleaned in awhile, so that was disappointing.

We had a very disappointing experience at Bistro 1640. From the moment we approached the host stand, we felt completely unwelcome. The host was rude, dismissive, & lacked even the most basic hospitality you would expect when walking into a restaurant.

We understand that restaurants get busy & that a table may not always be available-that was not the issue. It was the way we were treated. A simple polite explanation or a welcoming attitude would have made all the difference. Instead, the interaction left such a bad impression that it ruined the entire experience before we even had a chance to dine.

Hospitality starts at the door, & unfortunately, ours ended there. We left feeling extremely disappointed & would not return.

Nous y avons testé les formules déjeuner (comprendre petit dej, style brunch sur assiette pour les francophones de france). Ultra copieux, très bon. Service important & joli cadre. 25 euros en moyenne par personne, pas un ptit dej bon marché mais vous aurez mangé pour le journée (vraiment !) dans un bel endroit ! C'est à faire !

Très bon déjeuners. Portions généreuses, mais le service, bien que courtois, était très lent.

Quel bon moment passé dans cet endroit. L'esprit bistro parisien y a été reproduit avec une ambiance plus feutrée. Le repas à été très agréable & bon. Les assiettes dont servis avec une belle présentation & le personnel très professionnel est attentionné. Je vous recommande vivement cet établissement au pied du château Frontenac.
