Awesome authentic French food!!! The $39.95 deal includes a glass of wine/beer, an appetizer, main dish, & dessert. Very affordable for a lot of food. The meat pie & beef bourguignon were excellent. The escargot & pea soup were also exceptional. The crème brûlée & blueberry pie were delicious & quite large portions. We recommend this place to anyone looking to try authentic French food for a great price.

If you are looking for a dinner that can give you a wide taste of local foods, this is a wonderful choice. We were looking for a place to eat at 4 after missing lunch. The restaurant we were considering was closed until 5, so we continued down the road & found that Aux Anciens Canadiens was not only open but still had the lunch prix fixe prices. It is possible the dinners are larger, but the lunch was more than enough for us. We shared our meals with each other & were able to try pea soup, smoked bison fondue, meat pie, meat ball ragout, & deer, bison & elk tenderloin with a lovely blueberry sauce. For dessert, we had maple syrup pie & maple bread pudding. Everything was very good & we felt like we had the perfect culinary review of classic Quebecoise foods. We could have chosen the poutine, but we were concerned that we were not going to make it to dessert & since the woman behind us was telling her friend that this place had the best maple syrup pie, we didn't want to risk it.

This restaurant is a must on your visit to Quebec City. What an excellent dining experience. This place is on all the recommended eating lists for a reason. We didn't have a single bad bite the entire dinner. The set menu has so much choice & is very reasonably priced for all that you get. Service was also amazing. We started with red wine which I actually enjoyed & I'm not a wine person at all, followed by apps, my partner ordered the beans, I had the escargot. Fresh, warm buns were brought out quickly each time we asked. Our soups were pea & french onion, both delicious. For our mains, I tried beef Wellington & he got the special of the night which was the turkey dinner. My beef Wellington had some kinda appley sauce that I wasn't sure about at first but everything paired so nicely together. It very much tasted like home cooking but in the best way. Very homey, full of comfort. For dessert we tried the bread pudding & maple creme brûlée. Some of the best creme brûlée ever! I will return on my next visit to the city. Can't say enough good things.

This place is unexpectedly good! I didn't pay much attention & assume this is one of those touristy restaurant. Turned out to be a great night with the onion soup, escargots, seafood platter & lovely dessert!!! Overall, it's a nice dinner we had.

Such an authentic little place. Friendly staff & the ambience was very quaint. Settler style. The $39.95 lunch is great value. Leek & Potato soup. Had the Grandma's Treat - meat pie, meatballs & baked beans.& Maple syrup upside down pudding as dessert. Perfect fare for a cold day walking around old Quebec. Thank you for a wonderful experience 🙏🏼

I'm not sure about these other reviews. Is it possible we had a different chef The food was mediocre at best. Salmon & chicken were DRY... way overcooked...pastry was very good. Meat pie w fruit was tasty. Veg sides seemed like a frozen bagged afterthought. Average dessert... service was ok but the waiter did not return to check to see how the food was, I can only assume he knew & didn't want to ask. Felt like'the joke is on you' tourist trap. Onion soup was a letdown & definitely not worth a 7$ upgrade to their set menu. We enjoy good food but would NOT recommend this spot. Hard pass. Plenty of good food nearby.

It was the best meal we had in Quebec City. We ordered soup of the day, grandma’s treat & blueberry pie. We love everything! The soup is simply delicious! A perfect balance of the vegetables flavors. Just the kind of soup I like to drink. We had it with bread. Then it was the main course grandma’s treat with include meat pie, potatoes & meatballs, baked beans, veggies. Everything was so delicious, no crazy flavors just plain good ingredients cooked to perfection! I don’t know how simple looking food with simple tastes can be this delicious! The blueberry pie is also perfect, same as the meat pie which has the perfectly thin soft flaky pie crust! Every bite was perfection. Atmosphere was great! It was quiet, friendly & made me feel comfortable. The history feel of the little house was really nice inside & outside. Love the paintings. Nothing too crazy just like their food everything was done just right! The service was the best too! Love it so much would love to come back next time in Quebec City!

Saumon trop cuit. Pain perdu quelconque. Soupe aux poids servie tiède. Cuisine véritablement quelconque.

Good soups, location & service. The main dishes (poutin with pork & meat cake) were not worth a lot. With the 20? menu you have very few options
