Nous avons pu expérimenter ce restaurant avec des plats typiques canadien ce midi. Tout était très bon. Le menu du midi est particulièrement intéressant pour 39.90 (y prévoir les taxes & options payantes en plus). Il y a beaucoup de choix différents pour entrée / plat / dessert.
Le service était très sympathique.
Le restaurant est situé dans une des plus vieilles maison de Québec & elle est très typique. Les plats a la carte ou le soir ont un tarif beaucoup plus élevé.

Fantastic restaurant in Old Quebec. I had escargot for an appetizer with Beef Wellington for my main & creme brulee for my dessert. I've been to this restaurant several times & each time I'm not disappointed! The service was great! Can't wait to return when I visit Quebec.

Un lieu vraiment agréable où le service est plus que raisonnable, les serveurs sont très à l’écoute & non pressés. On te laisse le temps de choisir, on t’aide à mieux connaître le menu. Les plats sont succulents, le filet mignon de boeuf était très correct, le gratiné d’escargot parfait, le pain perdu en dessert était goûteux, le dosage du sirop d’érable & du caramel était bien, on ne sent pas un excès ni un manque de sucre !

Being French-Canadian, I really enjoyed the quality & authentic favors, not to mention the presentation of this place. We had the great luck of being seated upstairs in the cosy intimate room in the back complete with real decor. The service (by Steven) was especially attentive & friendly.
The game (which we have had all over the world) was cooked to perfection, the best!
Beware, the salmon was way over cooked & dry. For dessert, we had the maple pie, ho la la...
