If you are looking for a dinner that can give you a wide taste of local foods, this is a wonderful choice. We were looking for a place to eat at 4 after missing lunch. The restaurant we were considering was closed until 5, so we continued down the road & found that Aux Anciens Canadiens was not only open but still had the lunch prix fixe prices. It is possible the dinners are larger, but the lunch was more than enough for us. We shared our meals with each other & were able to try pea soup, smoked bison fondue, meat pie, meat ball ragout, & deer, bison & elk tenderloin with a lovely blueberry sauce. For dessert, we had maple syrup pie & maple bread pudding. Everything was very good & we felt like we had the perfect culinary review of classic Quebecoise foods. We could have chosen the poutine, but we were concerned that we were not going to make it to dessert & since the woman behind us was telling her friend that this place had the best maple syrup pie, we didn't want to risk it.

We came here after a long walk in the city. It was freezing & wet outside & one could feel cozy & warm immediately walking inside this little authentic house. I got exceptional food & service for what I paid. I enjoyed this creamy fish fillet a lot, the stewed vegetables inside were well seasoned & the tenderness was just right. Hope I will bring my parents here someday!

I had the salmon coulibiac with the bread pudding for dessert, & my husband had the meat pie with the maple syrup pie. Everything was delicious.
