We really enjoyed the ambience & history of this restaurant. The dinner was good highlight was the maple bread pudding. Beef Wellington was okay, French Onion Soup delicious & the Quebec Meat Pie was pretty good. The service was okay. We did not find the price reflected the food. It was pricey for what we got.

We were sent here by the bellman from the Frontenac & should have taken the time to speak to the concierge for a recommendation. The restaurant is quite charming & the service was good but the food is just OK & doesn't warrant the prices. Some items were tasty & flavorful, but others tasted like they came out of a can. The pea soup was watery & disappointing.

The soup of the day was thin broth, & the entree, chicken with rice, was dry. Others reported similar reactions to their meals.

The bison bourguignon was the best, then the meat pie. Didn't like the onion soup much though. The service was exceptionally good!

I was here for the poutine. It was fine.

I guess this place is a bit of a classic in terms of places to go in the city. The building is certainly memorable. I wasn't sure what I wanted & went with the duck poutine. It was fine, as mentioned above. In the end, it's hard to make poutine bad. The duck on it was more or less flavorless, which is why I would give this a 4.

Spinach soup was good & the maple bread pudding was very good.

A tad pricey but I think you pay for the institution. While this place may have seen better days in the kitchen, it's worth going to once in your life.

The pea soup & duck confit were delicious. The portion sizes for the main course & dessert were quite large - a bit too much for my taste, but great if you're really hungry. I also appreciated the availability of non-alcoholic beer options.

We had a wonderful meal & we were very pleasantly surprised to see some vegan options (beyond just the salad)! The pea soup is also vegan which is a must-try!

They had a special dessert when I went here - a white cake with dates & brown butter glaze? Not exactly sure. That cake was revelatory. My god. It was so good, just thinking about it makes my mouth water.

Since I wasn't that hungry I just got the onion soup which I didn't like - it was way too salty.
