Restaurant housed in the oldest house in Quebec City. This was my third visit to the city, but my first time actually trying a traditional Quebecois restaurant. It was one of the places the staff at the Fairmont had recommended last year, so I finally came for their lunch special.

Quebec comfort food. Nothing mind-blowing or flashy, but exactly what I'd expected from a French grandma's kitchen. It actually reminded me of the dishes my French professor used to make when she hosted Thanksgiving dinners at her house. Familiar flavors, a few quirky condiments, & an overall sense of home-style warmth.

Quebec Meat Pie - Meat pie with ketchup didn't sound very French, but the ketchup turned out to be fruit ketchup. Jammy, tangy, somewhere between salsa & chutney. The diced tomatoes & beets mixed in gave it a nice twist.

Beer Bourguignon - A solid entrée. The beef was a little too lean for my taste, but otherwise comforting.

Maple Syrup Pie - Texturally closer to a soft pecan pie but much sweeter. Maple flavor got lost under all the syrup & sugar, though still enjoyable enough as a classic finisher.

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.

Accueille super comme dans beaucoup d'endroit au Québec.
Un menu du midi à 40$ complet avec un verre de vin ou une bière, une entrée, un plat & un dessert.
Les plats sont généreux & fait maison.

Service super ! Je recommande sans hésite

Vous recherchez un très bon restaurant à Québec ?
Vous êtes à la bonne adresse !!
Une cuisine raffinée qui propose les spécialités Québécoises & de très bonnes pièces de viande (Cerf, Wapiti, Bison…)
De surcroît, l'un des seuls restaurant qui sait faire une vraie Poutine avec le fameux fromage qui fait skouik-skouik sous la dent ! ☺?
Je recommande à 200%!

Housed in the historic Maison Jacquet built in 1675-6, I first ate here in 1979 & have been back numerous times to savour the assorted traditional Québécois dishes. I especially enjoy the Tourtière du Lac St. Jean & the maple Crème Brûlée. Please keep the traditions alive!!!
