Grabbed a table on a random Tuesday night & the tourtière with the wild mushroom sauce was ridiculously good, exactly the kind of hearty Quebecois cooking I was hoping for. The dining room has this cozy old stone & wood beam thing going that makes you forget you're a five minute walk from the boardwalk. Our server actually took the time to explain the history of the building & walked us through the menu without rushing us even though it was a weeknight & not too packed. Wasn't cheap but between the caribou dish & the maple dessert to finish, worth every dollar for a weekend trip that felt a little more special.
My hubby is from Quebec & he wanted an authentic Canadian meal & this place did not disappoint. The food was fantastic & we got their lunch special soup /appetizer starter with entry a beer & dessert all included & a lot of wonderful food. The pie was to die for as well thank you for making us feel back home again after being away for so long. I love also the decor & the vintage dresses on the server it was being in a different time. Do your self a favor & have lunch here you will have no regrets. Enjoy & Viva Quebec
Abbiamo notato il locale per l'aspetto caratteristico, col suo bel tetto rosso. Il menù esposto era invitante e per pranzo era offerto a 39.9 CAD, quindi un buon prezzo visto che offriva primo, secondo , dessert e bevande.
Il ristorante ha confermato le premesse; anche l'interno è caratteristico e molto grazioso. La scelta dei piatti, nonostante il menù turistico, è ampia ed i piatti che abbiamo scelto sono stati gustosi e ben cucinati. Hanno spuccato il salmone in crosta ed il pasticcio e le polpette di carni miste, anche di selvaggina. Impeccabile il servizio sin dall'accoglienza, con la cameriera che ci ha accompagnato per tutto il pranzo con grande cortesia e pazienza nell'interpretare il nostro scarso inglese.
Per chi si trovasse a Quebèc city un posto sicuro per mangiare bene.
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 🌟!
I enjoyed seeing all the wooden decorations & rich history of this place. The food was delicious - soups & main dishes. The beverages & desserts were ok.
Had the lunch special. Soup, entree dessert & glass of wine or beer or soda. Had the chefs special...seafood casserole. It was delicious! We went back a second time. All for 40 bucks Canadian.
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 ❗
