Tout était parfait, pour moi c'était la première fois que je suis allé là, j'ai adoré tous les plats que j'ai dégustés, bon relation de prix & qualité. Je dépensait 100$ pour moi & mon copain, & nous étions plein!

The location is idyllic down the road from the Chateau Frontenac. My dish (bison bourguignon (which had a hint of creamy blueberry sauce)) was served in a puff pastry shell that once emptied of its main ingredient remained dry on the bottom. My partner's dish Lac St -Jean meat pie was fortunately served with a delectable fruit jelly, however, there was not nearly enough of it to help swallow the dry dish. This restaurant has been there for many years. It is clear from many reviews that sometimes there is too much sauce or seasoning, & I'm envious of the photos that show extra sauce as we literally had to sip our drinks to get it down. Aux Ancients Canadiens is lacking the joie de vivre that makes quebecois fare so delectable. My partner grew up eating French Canadian food & was deeply disappointed by this visit.
This restaurant is the perfect experience for someone with a delicate palette that wants to try traditional Quebec comfort food, without worrying about seasoning. This site is a fond favorite for many. Their atmosphere is still relaxing & warm, the service is excellent & multilingual. For myself it is not worth revisiting, particularly for its price point.

Warm & welcoming restaurant very close to Chateau Frontenac in Old Quebec. Traditional cuisine, with staff happy to explain dishes. Meat pie was lovely, & the two desserts were wonderful (Maple Bread Pudding & dessert du moment, which was a cranberry & date cake with butter sauce). The building is old, so be aware that the bathrooms are up narrow stairs, & you do need to watch your head & step!

Great place! Food is great with large portion sizes. The staff is great, & it's also a great atmosphere, as it's in the oldest building in Quebec. Highly recommended!

We've dined here now 3 times, & over the years, this wonderful spot has retained its charm & quality of cuisine. The food is piping hot, & the ingredients used are of exceptional quality. The price is very reasonable - today we had the daily special; glass of house wine, soup, main course (Filet Mignon), & Apple Crumble dessert - $40. Fantastic lunch, the staff is very friendly, & the ambience is straight out of Europe. There is a lot of competition for your dining dollar in Quebec City, but this one is a gem.
