Delicious food, excellent service from Julien, & such a warm & comfortable atmosphere! We are from Maine & the food was familiar but with a new-to-us Quebec flair. I highly recommend you experience a meal here.

Nous avons déjeuner avec mes parents dans ce restaurant. Tout était parfait, la décoration, l'accueil, le repas. Le prix est plus que raisonnable. Je me souviens encore de la tarte au sirop d'érable, un pur délice. Je recommande à 100 %

Restaurant housed in the oldest house in Quebec City. This was my third visit to the city, but my first time actually trying a traditional Quebecois restaurant. It was one of the places the staff at the Fairmont had recommended last year, so I finally came for their lunch special.

Quebec comfort food. Nothing mind-blowing or flashy, but exactly what I'd expected from a French grandma's kitchen. It actually reminded me of the dishes my French professor used to make when she hosted Thanksgiving dinners at her house. Familiar flavors, a few quirky condiments, & an overall sense of home-style warmth.

Quebec Meat Pie - Meat pie with ketchup didn't sound very French, but the ketchup turned out to be fruit ketchup. Jammy, tangy, somewhere between salsa & chutney. The diced tomatoes & beets mixed in gave it a nice twist.

Beer Bourguignon - A solid entrée. The beef was a little too lean for my taste, but otherwise comforting.

Maple Syrup Pie - Texturally closer to a soft pecan pie but much sweeter. Maple flavor got lost under all the syrup & sugar, though still enjoyable enough as a classic finisher.

Accueille super comme dans beaucoup d'endroit au Québec.
Un menu du midi à 40$ complet avec un verre de vin ou une bière, une entrée, un plat & un dessert.
Les plats sont généreux & fait maison.

Service super ! Je recommande sans hésite

Vous recherchez un très bon restaurant à Québec ?
Vous êtes à la bonne adresse !!
Une cuisine raffinée qui propose les spécialités Québécoises & de très bonnes pièces de viande (Cerf, Wapiti, Bison…)
De surcroît, l'un des seuls restaurant qui sait faire une vraie Poutine avec le fameux fromage qui fait skouik-skouik sous la dent ! ☺?
Je recommande à 200%!
