Many visitors praise the quality of the ice cream and gelato, often highlighting these as the standout items, while opinions on the sandwiches and hot beverages remain mixed. The service is frequently described as friendly and efficient, though some experiences have been marred by inconsistent staff performance or concerns over pricing.

Au 1884, un arrêt incontournable lors de mes visites à Québec! L'endroit est magnifique, au pied du Château Frontenac & avec une magnifique vue sur le fleuve.
L'hiver, on y a notre lot de sensations fortes avec la glissade, suivie d'un délicieux café ou autre boisson chaude, & l'été, c'est le passage obligé pour la MEILLEURE crème molle en ville!
Tout ceci entouré d'un personnel accueillant servant pâtisseries & sandwichs qui ont tous l'air plus délicieux les uns que les autres!

Petit kiosque sur l'esplanade, idéalement situé pour prendre un petit café avec une vue magnifique sur le château de Frontenac. Personnel très gentil.
Petit plus pour le brownie qui était une pépite 👌

Had a lunch here while walking by the chateau. The sandwich I had was ok, ham & cheese on about 6' of baguette. Had the option of warming it, & should have done that. Nothing remarkable, but worked in a pinch. The strawberry lemonade was quite good.

Les glissades !

Bon cette fois si nous avons réussis de faire la classique glissade de 141 ans sur la terrasse Dufferin en face du fleuve St-laurent & du Château Frontenac !

Très amusante & intéressante activités. Simple & classique à la fois. Qui ne semble avoir pratiquement pas changé depuis l'époque de mes parents & de mes grands parents...

Le service y est simple. Que ce soit en ligne ou sur place. Je suggère tout de même de réserver en ligne.

Ce n'est pas gratuit mais pas trop coûteux. ÷/- 4$ par personne où 4 billets pour 12$.

L'accueil est excellent. Les employés Très sympathique & bilingue.

Mise à part quelques règles de sécurité, il nous permet plusieurs options de configuration de descente & nous permet d'utiliser non cellulaire ou caméra.

10ans & plus pour descendre seul . Maximum 4 personnes sur une luge .

Les luges son super & classique & confortable.

Ça vaut le coup !

Les breuvages & collation y sont excellente. Souvent des produits locaux. Prix ok pour une attraction touristique majeure.

Cute little eatery in Quebec City, right behind Chateau Frontenac. Prices are decent & the personnel is approachable. The place opens late compared to other spots around this touristic place. There's no free parking in sight, but paid parking available on the streets.
