Review Summary

Au 1884 is a popular stop located on the boardwalk, offering a mix of views, snacks, and refreshments. 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. Despite these variations, the location remains a go-to spot for those seeking a quick treat or a warm drink in a picturesque setting.

The sugar cone dipped in milk chocolate it's the best, I recommend a Pettit or even Bebe size, it's very very sweet

I would 1000% recommend going to 1884 to grab a bite to eat - & while you are there be sure to thank the owner Jeff for us!! We recently visited Quebec on a family vacation & were taking a tour the final morning. It was incredibly hot & humid & our 12 year old daughter Serafina passed out from heat stroke right in front of 1884. It was terrifying to say the least. The 1884 owner, Jeff, immediately jumped into action. He explained that he was a paramedic & proceeded to take care of our daughter without hesitation, informing us each step of the way what was happening. He opened the cafe to us as a place for her to recover & didn't leave our side until she was safe in our car- his generosity, kindness, quick thinking, & commitment to her health was one of the greatest acts of kindness I've experienced. Thank you, Jeff! & to everyone else - make sure you stop by, grab a bite, & thank him for us!

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.
