Food is not great & the atmosphere is very outdated. It is an older building but the interior design is lacking & aged. Our server was the lone bright spot.

My friends & I went for dinner/supper there during our visit to Québec City, & we had a great time. The food was delicious, good portions, very decent price (with their Table d'Hôte, which even includes a glass of red or white wine). It was also great to taste various traditional Québec terroir dishes! The hosts/waiters were all very nice, & helpful, making sure we understood the menu. This restaurant is also a nice experience because of the building it's in. Definitely worth going there if you visit Québec city!

My husband & I enjoyed a wonderful meal here on our last night in Quebec City & were so pleased with our experience! Our waiter Sam was incredibly knowledgeable not only about every aspect of the menu but he also has a great knowledge of the building's history which was super cool to learn about! It's 350 years old, the oldest building in town which is super cool! We really enjoyed the atmosphere in the old house environment & were so happy we got seated upstairs by the fireplace with all the fun old decor & unique construction. It is so quaint & the food was amazing! My husband tried the meat pie & meatballs & I tried the bison with blueberry wine sauce. We also tried the caramel maple bread pudding & blueberry pie for dessert. Everything was great! We will definitely come back here again! A+++

Cute place, closed in & crowded with history. Great deals for the tourist looking for a full meal. We kept things simple with cocktails & soup. The split pea soup was great, the onion soup had a great broth but was a bit too much in the way of bread. The cocktails were a big fail. Stick to wine or water here.

So, we had heard so much about this restaurant as being a tradition Canadian food restaurant. The people were nice, friendly & accommodating but the food. The presentation was good but...... The chicken cordon bleu was so dry, even the sauce it was served with couldn't moisten it. The meatballs tasted like cardboard mixed with mystery meat. The meat pie was bland. Underwhelming meal. On the upside, the pea soup was good & so was dessert but how can you go wrong with maple syrup, cake & sugar.

Beat restaurant you can find in Quebec City! Visiting it is a must! My 2 advices: 1- Try the quebecois platters like: cretons de gibiers, bourguignon de bison & regal de grand-mère. 2- go for lunch, between 12pm & 5pm, you can have the formula (starter, plattwr & dessert) for half its price!

We loved the atmosphere of this restaurant. The food was okay. The meat pie with meat balls had a flavour that my wife did not like at all. I found it okay but too much food. The salad with goat cheese on it had a weird smokey taste that our companion didn't enjoy. The Beef Wellington seemed to be the only dish at our table of 4 that was thoroughly enjoyed with no issues. Desserts were good. We sat upstairs & the waiter was efficient but didn't attend to the fact that I clearly identified that I am lactose/dairy intolerant. He brought my escargots appetizer covered with cheese! If we were to eat here again, we'd opt for the lunch special as dinner special (Table d'Hote at $69.95) was expensive & too much food. There are better & cheaper places to eat in Quebec City.
