We had our Christmas dinner here yesterday & it was such a great experience! The atmosphere is so cozy & comfortable & our wonderful waiter Sam made us feel so welcome. The food is traditional & so delicious! We ordered "Grandma's Treat" which had meatballs, vegetables & the most delicious meat pie. I highly recommend if you're in the area & looking to scratch that home-cooking itch!

As everyone else has said- the lunch deal was amazing (the fact that it includes a beer is even better). The food was fantastic & we tried meals & flavors we've never had before. Highly recommend!

Do not recommend. Not worth the price at all. Very overpriced tourist trap. Food is mediocre. Maple pie was good. Since when is a fondue croquette? Bourginion was bland.

I've wanted to eat at Aux Anciens ever since my first trip to Quebec City more than 30 years ago. This trip, I finally had the chance ... & I should have saved my money. The interior is lovely & cozy & everything I'd hoped for. The food & service were ... not. Our waiter was efficient enough, but the thinly veiled misogynistic "jokes" were not appreciated. I lost count of how many cracks he made about whether I "allowed" my husband to do this, that, & the other. He was not funny. Food-wise, my husband & I both had the lunchtime table d'hote. We both ordered the soup of the day, which was a lovely cream of broccoli served with warm bread. For the main, my husband had the chicken cordon bleu. It contained an almost invisible slice of ham, no cheese, & was dry. He said the boxed version you can buy at Costco was a thousand times better. His side veggies were tasteless mush. I ordered the salad with grilled goat cheese & marinated beets. Presentation was gorgeous ... the meal itself was not. The cheese was super salty (& tasted of nothing else), the beets were boiled & had maybe been shown a marinade but certainly never touched one, & if there was a dressing of any kind, it was well, well hidden. So yes, underwhelmed would be an understatement. Aux Anciens was worth neither the anticipation nor the price. We will never go back, & I cannot recommend.

Described as one of the oldest restaurants in Canada, we had the opportunity to dine here as part of our tour of Québec city. The ambience was great & it had a certain aged feel to it. The outfits of the waitress stemmed from a period past & this gave the restaurant an authentic feel. I tried duck for the first time here & I enjoyed it. It was part of my poutine. I strongly recommend this establishment.

Fabulous restaurant in Old Quebec. I believe on the outside of the building a marker plate dated it to 1675. Food & service were exceptional. Highly recommended!

Atmosphère conviviale & déco très chaleureuse. Super service de Sam. Je vous conseille d'y aller le midi, menu à 39$ avec boisson, entrée, plat, dessert. Délicieux. Un peu déçue par la crème brûlée à l'érable qui était délicieuse mais ne goûtait pas l'érable. Pleins de plats typiques québécois & réconfortant. Nous nous sommes régalé je recommande !
