We really enjoyed this restaurant in the heart of Old Quebec! The food was absolutely amazing! We tried two soups, split pea & the chef's soup, both delicious! We devoured them immediately, so no pictures, sadly. We shared the grandma's plate with meat pie & a variety of sides, everything was so full of flavor & incredibly delicious! For dessert, we had thr Maple Syrup Pie & the Maple Syrup Bread Pudding, amazingly packed with flavor!
Our server was very attentive, cheerful & ready to fill our water glasses each time he stopped at the table. We felt very spoiled by his friendly attention.
The atmosphere is extremely charming, combining old & modern features & decor. & don't miss the bathrooms! A cute little closet with unique features!
Highly recommended this spot, its the oldest French building in Quebec & offers amazing food & service!

Excellent restaurant. We came here wanting to try Québécois meals & they were very good. The dessert (dessert of the moment) was especially good. Overall, loved this place!

Charming waiter, great historic vibe. The food lost one star as I found the duck confit on the salad (even though warmed) to be a little dry. The dessert however, maple syrup pie was 6 🌟!

Janvier 2026 Mise à jour...
Comme d'habitude, visite à Québec, souper ici... Décevant! Le menu est depuis quelques temps 39.98$ mais le menu a changé. 4 choix avec entrée & bière ou vin mais le dessert n'est plus inclus. Les recettes sont changés. Vendredi soir, le restaurant était vide, vraiment vide. Pourquoi changer une formule qui fonctionne au lieu d'augmenter légèrement le prix? C'était ma dernière visite. 😔

Qualité- prix, c'est la place dans le Vieux Québec ❗ Nous y allons à chaque visite depuis quelques années.Le restaurant se veut un retour dans le temps. Décoration en bois avec lampe à l'huile & objets vieillots. Le service toujours hors pair.
Le plus, si vous commandez le menu du jour avant 17hrs, il est à 22.95$. ( au lieu de 29.95$) Le menu inclus un verre de vin ou une bière, une entrée, un repas principal & un dessert. Choix intéressant, entrées... soupe du jour, soupe aux pois (délicieuse), cretons de gibiers (jamais mangé de meilleurs). Repas... Tourtière & ragoût de boulettes (tendre), Saumon enrobé de pâte feuilletée sauce Coulibiac ( un délice) mignonette de porc (2 assiettes svp!) Dessert... Tarte au sirop d'érable (no comment!) tarte au fudge (ma découverte cette année, délicieuse) Ect... Certains items sont avec surplus (pas ceux que j'ai mentionné)
Réservez pour être sûr de ne pas manquer un bon repas!
Situé presque en face du château Frontenac, facile à trouver. Vous m'en direz des nouvelles ❗

Une véritable expérience à vivre si l'on veut découvrir la cuisine traditionnelle canadienne (québécoise).
Nous sommes venus pour l'expérience, & nous ne l'avons pas regrettée : on goûte ici à des plats authentiques, ancrés dans la tradition.

Le charme des lieux est incroyable : un endroit ancien & typique où l'on se croirait réellement à une autre époque, ce qui rend l'expérience encore plus immersive.

Les desserts sont particulièrement gourmands, un vrai régal pour finir le repas.
Je suis très contente d'avoir découvert cet endroit & d'avoir pu vivre cette expérience culinaire typiquement canadienne.

Une adresse à essayer au moins une fois à Québec.

Très bon repas, notamment les desserts (tarte aux bleuets & tarte au sirop d'érable) qui ne sont pas trop sucrés.
Le serveur était très aimable & de bon conseil.

This is what I received as an apple crumble dessert. It's not okay to serve that.
