Food felt a little under seasoned for my taste however I can absolutely appreciate the strong sense of tradition in this establishment. This to me made the experience worth it & I really enjoyed the atmosphere & that it felt like you were eating in little red riding hoods home. I am happy to have checked this place out & everyone was so nice.

I guess this is traditional Quebecois cuisine. It was my favorite meal of a few days in Quebec City -- gamey, heavy, saucy, fruity. Nothing light. The atmosphere is quaint, like eating in an old boarding house or inn.

L'ambiance était chaleureuse avec de la musique de Noël québécoise. La cuisine était délicieuse & réconfortante. Malheureusement, les portions étaient plutôt petites.

I got the lunch special, which is a three course meal. A super unique building that was fun to eat in! It's on the pricey side though
