Yummy food in one of the oldest houses in Quebec City.

A little pricey because they cater to tourists but not in an exploitative way - the food is indeed very good. Great way to get acquainted with traditional Canadien cuisine, which is very heavy & best enjoyed in colder weather. Nice atmosphere in a building dating back 300+ years.

I loved the atmosphere of this place, you can tell it's a house-turned-restaurant & it's charming, feels almost like you're eating at grandma's house. The staff were also lovely! That said the food was just ok... The pea soup was very good, but that's where it ended - the meat pie was ok, the meatballs surprisingly came in a cinnamon sauce (very unexpected), the veggies & sides felt like an afterthought, & the creme brulee didn't taste like maple, vanilla or anything other than a regular pudding. If there was a way to taste the unique dishes without getting the full 3 course meal, it would have been fantastic, but unfortunately you can only take appetizers a la carte... Not cheap & not worth it, in my opinion.

Ha nous avons fait un saut dans le passé, comme si j'étais retourne chez ma grand-mère dans ca veille maison, personnel très souriant en robe 👗 d'époques. Nous avons eu une expérience + un bon repas des classiques québécois & canadiens, a un niveau gastronomique... Merci

I'd give 6 stars if I could. A superbly wonderful maiden dining experience for our family - & all thanks to ChatGPT to suggest this as one of our best options to get a true flavor of Quebec City cuisine. We went for the pre-fixed $40 lunch option. We started around 2:30 (super crowded!) & were there until about 4:30, by when most of the restaurant was empty. I highly recommend reservations. For starters - our table of 4 went for a poutine, wild meat cretons, meat pie, & the escargots. The meat cretons were very close to a pate. The escargots were delicious. The poutine & the pie were also highly appreciated at our table. I skipped the house wine & instead went with a recipe I looked up on their own recipe book that was for sale at the reception - called the Homemade Caribou, 1 oz vodka in 2 oz of Canadian sherry. It was smooth as silk, loved it! For main courses our table had Lac St-Jean meat pie (bison, deer, elk, beef, pork), Beef Wellington, The Three Tenderlions Grilled (deer, bison, & elk), & the Chef's inspiration (today it was veal pieces in a raspberry-infused sauce). I can't tell which one was the best as they were all competing with each other in freshness, taste, visual appeal. Dessert was split between the pies & the creme brulee. No bad choices here. Our 2-hour lunch never felt rushed - & we never felt ignored either. Our waitress was polite, efficient, & eager to help when we had questions about the options. A true lovely dining experience - highly recommend!

Food is great & our waiter was very nice! We had lunch here & it was $39 for drink, appetizer, main, & dessert. Simple great deal! I loved meat pie & maple caramel bread pudding! Our waiter was very kind & explained each dish. The place was like a little old house with cozy feeling. Would love to come back here again if I visit Quebec City in the future!

Very pleasant place. Rich & interesting cuisine. Average service. However, tips are already included, & the servers openly complain about the additional tips you leave (which are overall quite fair). This ruins the experience. The owner should keep a closer eye on the staff."
