I would 100% recommend this place! We tried the red deer, bison, & elk meat, & it was delicious. We also had the traditional dish poutine, which is fries with gravy & cheese.
As a dessert we had a typical pie with maple syrup which was AMAZING
What really stood out was the kindness & attention of the staff at all times.
If you're visiting Quebec, you shouldn't miss it!

Checked this place out while visiting Quebec City. Super cozy vibe & the staff were really nice. I ordered the Grandma's meat pie since it sounded like a local classic, but I honestly didn't love it-just not my thing. Might give another dish a try next time though!

Absolutely fantastic. Everything was delicious & prepared very well. It was great to choose from the traditional Québécois meals. My husband had Beef Wellington which was his favourite meal of our trip.

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

Nous avons testé ce restaurant au hasard d'une flânerie & nous n'avons pas été déçus, bien au contraire !! Le cadre est original & très agréable, le service impeccable & la nourriture excellente !!
Nous avons pris la formule entrée / plat / dessert / boisson du midi & le prix reste plus que correct. Les entrées ne sont pas trop volumineuses. Les plats sont plus généreux mais cela reste correct. Les desserts sont ultra gourmands. Bref, une très belle découverte où nous retournerons sans aucun doute !

We were in Quebec City for 4 days of vacation. We stayed in the upper old city & we were able to walk to most of the historic sites & good restaurants. We researched this restaurant from home so we went one night without a reservation. The hostess took us to the back room as the front room was all reserved. Back room was also nice. We ordered grilled salmon, escargots, sparkling water & a nice glass of French red wine. The escargots were part of the prefix dinner which I ordered. A dessert came with it. My wife ordered salmon off the menu. Food was delicious & the atmosphere was nice. An enjoyable evening. I recommend it highly.
BTW, the restaurant is a free standing 300 plus year old house.
