I had dinner here with my husband. We both ordered the dinner special. The French Onion Soup was excellent. The broth was rich & the soup crock was perfectly covered in melted cheese. The dinner crepe was ham, asparagus & eggs & hollandaise sauce. It was really good. The dessert crepe was fresh berries, maple butter & vanilla ice cream. Outstanding!
Such a cute establishment! It is packed with charm & feels like you're having a meal in someone's cottage.
We stopped in for breakfast before work & the service & food were both phenomenal. I had the Classic Breakfast with one egg, bacon, potatoes, toast, & a small crepe. The bacon was crispy just the way I like it, the potatoes were well seasoned, & the crepe was such a nice touch & so delicate, yet rich in flavor. Has to be one of the best crepes I ever had! They also have an extensive crepe selection if you want to order a larger sized one that's either sweet or savory.
My colleagues split the'La Fernande' which was a massive crepe with eggs, Parisian ham, & your choice of a vegetable, all stuffed inside & covered in hollandaise sauce. They got the mushrooms & said it was really good.
Highly recommend this place if you're looking for a great breakfast spot exuding the charm of Quebec City.
Crepes were quite tasty. More fruit though s'il te plaît. Lynn & the other gentlemen server were lovely. My French is limited but they were so attentive & friendly despite. Unlimited coffee ☕? is always nice & Au Petit Coin Breton did not disappoint!!!!

The plates are gargantuan, & the coffee comes in a mug big enough to fuel your whole day. Add crispy smoky bacon, perfectly runny eggs, & fast, friendly service-this place is a brunch winner. Don't forget the maple syrup…
Nice spot for a breakfast with a great location. We had the eggs benedict & the classic breakfast with bacon. The eggs were cooked perfectly. The crepe was a nice touch, especially since the plate was already pretty filling with fries & toasts. The fruit was sweet & fresh. Service was good & overall it's a solid place to start the day.
We shut the place down on a Wednesday evening with savory crepes made with buckwheat("galettes" in France) & filled with combinations of shredded meats, melted cheese, fried eggs, & mushrooms. Delicious! Sweet crepes filled with pears & whipped cream for dessert. The best part was a server with a wonderful sense of humor who enjoyed her work!
Best Petit Déjeuner in Old Quebec Town! Au Petit Coin Breton is a cozy spot with amazing food! We had the 3 eggs omelette with spinach & cheese, & eggs Benedict-both were delicious! The staff is super nice & kept asking if I wanted more hot coffee even after I finished. :D Such great service! Perfect place for breakfast, I'll definitely be back!
Stumbled in here on a very cold morning. Although I'm certain that English could be spoken, I decided to make all suffer through my horrible French. I got everything I ordered, plus coffee, which I didn't THINK I ordered, (because I really don't like coffee). Turns out I DO like it, when it's done well. It would be a great end to the review if that was the highlight of the visit, but the food (eggs, sausage, toast, boring choices, I know) was absolutely stellar, & the service was one of many high points of our visit. An absolute don't miss stop!
