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 here are excellent, both the savoury & sweet ones. My prefer is for the dessert crepes. The portion was quite big for us. Service was also good. Could see the chef cook the crepes.
Rather intimate & quaint, as expected from name, this place has good crepes at fair prices, especially the chef special. If you get savory, I suggest the buckwheat, as the somewhat sweet farina doesn't quite fit. Surprisingly for tourist row, most patrons seem to be speaking French, & waiters, though quite competent, also seemed to prefer it- which is what I look for in Oder to hear & practice a bit.
Very good crepe shop. It is in tourist area some prices are a little pricey but not overly so. We had one sweet strawberry & whip cream & a savory one with cheese & mushrooms. They both were delightful & reminded me of a crepe shop in New Zealand
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.
Look no further. This is the one you are searching for! My family loved the savory (ham & cheese) & the sweet (banana & nutella) crepes. The french onion & split pea soup was also splendid. Also the coffee & hot chocolate (chocolat chaude) were terrific. The prices were fair. The ambiance is local & authentic. We tried a lot of local cuisine, & this was tops.
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!

We've eaten here 6-7 times in 2.5 years, every time we visit QC. We have the same beautiful server sweet accommodating us & our food allergies in English/French, with fast, courteous service. As a celiac, they serve me great food with no problem & I appreciate it because the crepes are delicious here. You will be full, make sure you get their homemade whipped sweet yogurt topping, & the crispy thin sliced, generous serving of bacon.
Satisfying food. I ordered a savory crepe for meal, the portion & flavoring were just right. I was also delighted to find out I could order a small size sweet crepe for dessert! So I got a halzenut chocolate + ice cream crepe, very good too!
We went here in October 2022, I know, late for the review, but honestly I couldn't NOT write a review -- We LOVED it. Very kid friendly, no on-site parking (but really, what is...) but easy to find, & HIGHLY recommend. I wish we ate here twice! Huge menu, sweet, savoury, delicious soups, amazing crepes. & great prices!! We were a party of 6 & pleasantly surprised once the bill came. I loved how we could see the great staff making our crepes as we sat. Oh man, I'd go back just to eat here again!
Very nice experience for crepes in Of Quebec. They have a diverse menu for breakfast, lunch or dinner, options for sweet or savory tooth. I had the strawberry crepe with whipped yogurt & my husband the full breakfast with many samples of traditional Quebec items.
Service was very kind & quick. I really recommend it.
