The lunch special is kind of value if you really care about being full. The portion sizes are generous but the food was very subpar. Everything we ordered was too salty/sweet/soggy/bland for my taste but I guess that's what traditional food is like. Service was good. Place seems like a bit of a tourist trap overall.

Submitting a review for incorrect hours. The kitchen closes at 9pm. Also most restaurants in Quebec City have incorrect hours so call before heading out.

If you need to hide from the cold in a warm like home place with the majestic smells- that's the place. Top it of with welcoming, genuine service; delicious food, various drinks menu - & that's a recipe for the great evening that will last forever!

Wonderful & delightful - there are no other words. It was a terribly cold evening, & the waiter lit the fireplace for us. Classic cuisine, excellent service, delicious food - real food. Thank you so much for the wonderful evening we spent together with my daughter.

A charming, historic spot with a quaint atmosphere. The team was warm & hospitable, & the wine selection is excellent. The beets & escargot were definite highlights. I would pass on the French onion soup-it was a bit salty & arrived cold.
