We had a really lovely meal here the other day. Our server, I believe his name was Nicholas, was wonderful! He was extremely friendly & accommodating. The food was delicious, if expensive. I am extremely picky & normally hate pea soup, but I thought it was incredible. The interior had gorgeous wood carving wall decorations, & I felt like I could really feel the history of the place! Would definitely return next time I'm in Quebec City.

Oldest house in Quebec. You'll feel like you time travelled with the decor, low ceilings (watch your head!), & food like your ancestors cooked. Felt like home eating cooking with veg that wasn't over seasoned, simple dishes like bison meat bourginignon (sp?) & maple pie (59 -year-old recipe. The service was outstanding. Go upstairs for a museum of tools & devices hundreds of years old. Again, watch your head.

Will not recommend. Highly overrated. The food had no flavor whatsoever. Our tour guide recommended it, but visiting the restaurant was a mistake never to be repeated. Staff was quite rude too. Please go somewhere else while in Quebec. There are other options.

Dined here 40 years ago on our honeymoon, & thoroughly enjoyed being back. Our waiter was superb, & informed us the chef is the same - in his 42nd year! My husband loved the escargot & his beef wellington. The vegetarian option (mushroom tofu stew) was average, but worth the tourist adventure to dine in the oldest building in North America!
