This is a popular place where they serve traditional Canadian food. You should have a reservation in advance otherwise 30-45mins waiting is usually needed. The lunch course is pretty filling so be careful not to over-order though. The poutine was a little salty to my taste otherwise everything else was good 🤗

Personally I don't get the food so maybe it's not my thing. There's a lot of other foods that I think taste better for the price point but this is a historic restaurant so maybe give it a try if you're into home style french cooking. I got the beef Wellington & my partner got the bison. I liked hers better but found the bison a bit dry. My Wellington felt overcooked so tougher than I like.

Nous avons pu expérimenter ce restaurant avec des plats typiques canadien ce midi. Tout était très bon. Le menu du midi est particulièrement intéressant pour 39.90 (y prévoir les taxes & options payantes en plus). Il y a beaucoup de choix différents pour entrée / plat / dessert.
Le service était très sympathique.
Le restaurant est situé dans une des plus vieilles maison de Québec & elle est très typique. Les plats a la carte ou le soir ont un tarif beaucoup plus élevé.

Fantastic restaurant in Old Quebec. I had escargot for an appetizer with Beef Wellington for my main & creme brulee for my dessert. I've been to this restaurant several times & each time I'm not disappointed! The service was great! Can't wait to return when I visit Quebec.

The food was wonderful & the service was top notch. If in doubt, order something distinctly Québécois like tourtière.

A wonderful evening.

We had the most delicious lunch in this restaurant! The fixed price menu was great value. 4 of us each ordered something different & all of it was great! Great service too.

Wait for service is long, price around $50 per person, food is average & portions are small. You'll better off with a pizzeria or some of the other options around.
