Such an authentic little place. Friendly staff & the ambience was very quaint. Settler style. The $39.95 lunch is great value. Leek & Potato soup. Had the Grandma's Treat - meat pie, meatballs & baked beans.& Maple syrup upside down pudding as dessert. Perfect fare for a cold day walking around old Quebec. Thank you for a wonderful experience 🙏🏼

Nice environment, great food with decent prices. Blueberry pie, bread pudding & Québec meat pie are must try! Exceptional service - I accidentally left my clutch there but the restaurant was so nice, they kept it & helped mail it to me. Really appreciated. Highly recommend!

Le rapport qualité/prix est faible. Ma tourtière du lac st-jean comportant plusieurs morceaux de tirailles inmâchable. Ma tartelette au chocolat & caramel ne goûtait pas aucunement le chocolat, c'était comme une tarte au sucre. & l'ambiance laissait à désirer. C'est malheureusement un''Trap touriste''. Je suis déçu car il y a tant de bon restaurant dans le Vieux-Québec.

Sam our server is very professionals directing us towards the intricacies of the very traditional local cuisine. I tried the Wapiti mixed with other games in a "crusted pain de viande". Need to try once in your lifetime. The dessert are excellent.

The restaurant is terrific , from the service to the food . We had 2 starters (salad & tourtières ) recommended by our friendly server Sam . Main course was the filet mignon which was delicious & cooked exactly as requested . Desserts were fresh & a perfect size . I'll be returning on my next visit to Quebec City

Fabuleux ! On y retourne à chaque visite de Québec, nous sommes toujours bien reçus. La nourriture est délicieuse, le pain perdu en dessert est un délice. Le personnel est vraiment attentionné, surtout Serge !!

I'm not sure about these other reviews. Is it possible we had a different chef The food was mediocre at best. Salmon & chicken were DRY... way overcooked...pastry was very good. Meat pie w fruit was tasty. Veg sides seemed like a frozen bagged afterthought. Average dessert... service was ok but the waiter did not return to check to see how the food was, I can only assume he knew & didn't want to ask. Felt like'the joke is on you' tourist trap. Onion soup was a letdown & definitely not worth a 7$ upgrade to their set menu. We enjoy good food but would NOT recommend this spot. Hard pass. Plenty of good food nearby.
