My parents visited here 50 years ago & loved the experience. Our first time to Quebec City we made it a point to stop. We loved the experience , the food choices, staff , & overall experience. You'll not be disappointed if you visit for a meal.

Summary
This is a rare bastion of integrity in a landscape of commercial artifice. It does not rely on the frantic gimmicks of modern dining; it simply exists as a superior institution. It is good for families & remains my favorite in the city. I have been many times.

The Experience
The atmosphere is grounded in historical permanence-authentic, quiet, & A+. The service follows suit with a disciplined professionalism that avoids the hollow, forced cheer of the service industry.

The Food & Value
The menu is simple & good. It is traditional, honest, & executed with A+ precision. There is no need for performative plating when the quality is this absolute. Furthermore, the price is great.

The Verdict
An exceptional convergence of food, service, & setting. It is excellent because it refuses to be anything other than what it is.

Excellent quality of food. The beef tenderloin was delectable with the mustard gravey. Vegetables were fresh & crisp. Loved the maple syrup pie (like a butter tart), very sweet but went well with a black tea.

A fantastic spot for traditional québeqoise food. In one of the old city's oldest houses (1670), the atmosphere can't be beat.

The service is amazing here! Super friendly staff & something about eat in a 17th century home just sets the mood right!

The food however, is indescribable. My wife & I got the Grandmas special & the pork tenderloin, & we had to pause while we ate, just to take in how amazing the food was! I don't know how they make the Tenderloin mustard sauce & the meatball ragout sauce, but there must be pounds of magic because we were STUNNED with how good the flavor was. We ate it so fast I couldn't take a photo!

Please come here & order the tenderloin & Grandma's plate. It is flavours & dishes everyone must try!
