A little pricey because they cater to tourists but not in an exploitative way - the food is indeed very good. Great way to get acquainted with traditional Canadien cuisine, which is very heavy & best enjoyed in colder weather. Nice atmosphere in a building dating back 300+ years.

This is my favourite restaurant in old Quebec City!! So quaint & the food....delicious homestyle cuisine with very generous portions. You will not walk away hungry!!! Oh & you gotta try the grand-mere's treat & the maple syrup bread pudding. Friendly & welcoming staff who are more than happy to answer any questions about the menu! Set in a historical building just a few steps away from Chateau Frontenac & other hotels! Make your reservation here for a memorable dining experience!!

This restaurant offers traditional Quebec cuisine, with dishes like poutine & meat pie delivering the expected authentic flavors. It's highly recommended for those looking to experience traditional-style cooking. Besides the food, the decor & dining environment are also impressive. The building & wall paintings appear to have many years of history, & the classic menus & plates enhance the dining experience. Additionally, the service is very elegant, & the prices are reasonable, ensuring you leave satisfied & not hungry.

Food is not great & the atmosphere is very outdated. It is an older building but the interior design is lacking & aged. Our server was the lone bright spot.

My friends & I went for dinner/supper there during our visit to Québec City, & we had a great time. The food was delicious, good portions, very decent price (with their Table d'Hôte, which even includes a glass of red or white wine). It was also great to taste various traditional Québec terroir dishes! The hosts/waiters were all very nice, & helpful, making sure we understood the menu. This restaurant is also a nice experience because of the building it's in. Definitely worth going there if you visit Québec city!

My husband & I enjoyed a wonderful meal here on our last night in Quebec City & were so pleased with our experience! Our waiter Sam was incredibly knowledgeable not only about every aspect of the menu but he also has a great knowledge of the building's history which was super cool to learn about! It's 350 years old, the oldest building in town which is super cool! We really enjoyed the atmosphere in the old house environment & were so happy we got seated upstairs by the fireplace with all the fun old decor & unique construction. It is so quaint & the food was amazing! My husband tried the meat pie & meatballs & I tried the bison with blueberry wine sauce. We also tried the caramel maple bread pudding & blueberry pie for dessert. Everything was great! We will definitely come back here again! A+++

The restaurant is only over 60 years old but in a building that is over 300 years old. The atmosphere is so warm & comfy with the service being exceptional. If you are a tourist in Quebec & want to try some of the local dishes, this is a place I recommend without breaking the bank & being authentic & flavourful at the same time. My kids enjoyed the meals by the fireplace & will always be a great memory for us visiting Quebec.

Beautiful old building with wood carvings on the main level restaurant. We were a party of 9 seated in a private room on the second floor. Unfortunately the chicken cordon bleu & the salmon were overcooked. Our friends who has tortierre & other traditional dishes were very pleased.
