I gave a 1 star on the food since we came as a group of 49, The food menu was very small & didn't have any good options,the waiter was very friendly however but still doesn't make the food better. & to top it all off 39$ is a scam. Overall very disappointed & I will not return.

The restaurant is only over 60 years old but in a building that is over 300 years old. The atmosphere is so warm & comfy with the service being exceptional. If you are a tourist in Quebec & want to try some of the local dishes, this is a place I recommend without breaking the bank & being authentic & flavourful at the same time. My kids enjoyed the meals by the fireplace & will always be a great memory for us visiting Quebec.

Ambiance is good, service is slow. But most importantly, food was really not good. I ordered the specialty dish of 3 different tenderloins, 1 was good the other 2 were bad. Also the side vegetables are below average My wife took chicken breast (cordon bleu), that tasted like frozen nuggets reheated, again with the sauce & veggies being below average Wine is good. We took white wine All in all not worth the experience

We went here on out trip recently because the reviews were very good. We made a reservation for 5:30 pm. We were seated shortly after & the service was good. The restaurant vibe was interesting. The decor didn't seem on par with an upscale restaurant. We decided to get an appetizer which was crab cakes. They were good but the price was a bit steep at $22.00 for 2 cakes. I ordered the filet mignon for my dinner. The steak itself was incredible but the sides were just okay. The fries were kind of mushy & not crispy. It was also a huge portion of fries. My husband got the 3 filet dish which had red deer, bison, & elk. He really liked the meat but again sides were just okay. You expect a bit more at nearly $60/per plate. We then finished off with a dessert - chocolate pie & bread pudding. Both pretty good but again the price was a bit steep. I think each were about 16 dollars. So all in all, it was good but for the prices? No. I wouldn't recommend & I wouldn't go back. The dinners we had on previous nights were much better & worth the higher price.

tout simplement incroyable, je pense que le bourguignon de bisons est le meilleur plat que j'ai mangé de ma vie. Quelle sauce !!! Un grand merci c'était génial. La formule du midi est parfaite c'est l'endroit où aller pour bien manger à Québec & manger Quebecois !
