Envie de manger dans un endroit typique & de découvrir des plats québécois ? Vous êtes au bon endroit. Pour 40$ par personne nous avons pu déguster des plats régionaux avec compris : l'entrée + le plat + le dessert + un verre de vin ou bière. Les repas sont très bons & très copieux. Nous avons pas pu finir le plat & avons dû prendre les desserts à emporter ce que la serveuse nous a conseillé gentiment. Le personnel est très accueillant & serviable. Les tenues d'époque & la déco nous permettent de voyager dans le temps ! Une très belle adresse

Un must pour les amateurs de cuisine canadienne. On y revient pour sa table d'hôte & ses plats comme l'assiette de grand mère & sont feuilletés de saumon. Les entrées de cretons ou la tourtières. Que dire des desserts! Je prends le pouding aux pains version brioché & la tarte aux sucres. Soyez y avant 17h pour le spécial & vous m'en direz des nouvelles

Located in a small historic house. I had a reservation for 3:30pm for 7 people, arrived 5 mins before & the host tells me I can wait on the side. 5 mins go by & he tells me he only has 1 table for 4 & another table for 3 ppl or I can wait until a table for 7 clears up. I don't understand why you would offer reservations if you don't honor them. I had my reservation rescheduled to 5pm. I come back at 5pm & get seated. The waiter was the best, he was attentive & we never had to request his service. He spoke french english & spanish! The food was great for all 7 of us (salt was lacking but that is common for these type of places) The cream of chicken stole my heart. The beef wellington was amazing. The desserts were sugary, I am a chocolate fan but I switched my chocolate pie for my sister's blueberry pie. Aside from the reservation issue, everything else was so great that I can overlook it. Would I return? Most likely.

This is the place to go for terrific food & good value. Added is that the service & wait staff are friendly & really a notch above. Prix Fixe from 12 to 5 at $40 is the bargain of Quebec City. Includes a glass of wine, starter, main & dessert. It can't be beat in most cities & the food was te²rrific.

Excellent food in a beautiful, historic setting. Highly recommend the Table d'hôte - one price for a complete meal (appetizer, entree, dessert plus wine or beer). We have eaten here twice & every dish has been delicious. Portions are large & there's a significant discount if you're there before 17:00.

Dining inside what is considered the oldest house in Quebec was so charming. Our waitress was very friendly & the food was absolutely incredible! For appetizers, my family enjoyed the very cheesy escargot dish & my dad absolutely loved the French onion soup. In terms of entrees, the filet mignon dish was tasty & the meat pie (which I was looking forward to trying in Quebec) was better than I could have ever imagined & I really enjoyed its flaky crust. For desserts, we chose the chocolate pie & the maple crème brûlée, & they were nothing short of spectacular. In fact, the crème brûlée was the best I have ever eaten! Since ordering dishes individually can really add up, I recommend ordering in the form of a formule ($39.99+ for 1 drink + 1 appetizer + 1 entree + 1 dessert), which allows you to try a complete meal for a fraction of the cost of ordering each component individually. Overall, I enjoyed dining at Aux Anciens Canadiens & hope to be back again someday!

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+++

So, we had heard so much about this restaurant as being a tradition Canadian food restaurant. The people were nice, friendly & accommodating but the food. The presentation was good but...... The chicken cordon bleu was so dry, even the sauce it was served with couldn't moisten it. The meatballs tasted like cardboard mixed with mystery meat. The meat pie was bland. Underwhelming meal. On the upside, the pea soup was good & so was dessert but how can you go wrong with maple syrup, cake & sugar.

We loved the atmosphere of this restaurant. The food was okay. The meat pie with meat balls had a flavour that my wife did not like at all. I found it okay but too much food. The salad with goat cheese on it had a weird smokey taste that our companion didn't enjoy. The Beef Wellington seemed to be the only dish at our table of 4 that was thoroughly enjoyed with no issues. Desserts were good. We sat upstairs & the waiter was efficient but didn't attend to the fact that I clearly identified that I am lactose/dairy intolerant. He brought my escargots appetizer covered with cheese! If we were to eat here again, we'd opt for the lunch special as dinner special (Table d'Hote at $69.95) was expensive & too much food. There are better & cheaper places to eat in Quebec City.
