Aux Anciens Canadiens est largement reconnu pour son atmosphère historique et charmante ainsi que pour son dévouement envers la cuisine traditionnelle québécoise, de nombreux visiteurs louant le cadre authentique au sein de l'un des plus vieux bâtiments de la ville. Les convives soulignent fréquemment le service attentionné et amical, particulièrement lors de la dégustation des menus du midi populaires, et beaucoup considèrent la tarte au sirop d'érable et les divers plats de viande comme des incontournables. Bien que la grande majorité des clients décrivent une expérience mémorable et délicieuse, certains critiques notent que la qualité des plats peut être inégale, quelques convives trouvant certains repas trop chers ou en deçà de la réputation historique de l'établissement.
The location is idyllic down the road from the Chateau Frontenac. My dish (bison bourguignon (which had a hint of creamy blueberry sauce)) was served in a puff pastry shell that once emptied of its main ingredient remained dry on the bottom. My partner's dish Lac St -Jean meat pie was fortunately served with a delectable fruit jelly, however, there was not nearly enough of it to help swallow the dry dish. This restaurant has been there for many years. It is clear from many reviews that sometimes there is too much sauce or seasoning, & I'm envious of the photos that show extra sauce as we literally had to sip our drinks to get it down. Aux Ancients Canadiens is lacking the joie de vivre that makes quebecois fare so delectable. My partner grew up eating French Canadian food & was deeply disappointed by this visit.
This restaurant is the perfect experience for someone with a delicate palette that wants to try traditional Quebec comfort food, without worrying about seasoning. This site is a fond favorite for many. Their atmosphere is still relaxing & warm, the service is excellent & multilingual. For myself it is not worth revisiting, particularly for its price point.
Early Dec2024 When in the historical city of Quebec one would also need to try out its historical & local cuisine set within one of its equally historical structures. The food consists of French Canadian fare with some mains dealing with game dishes while others lean to French classical type of offerings. The servers will be able to assist you in any inquiries if needed. The place is much like a homestead or village house full of visual displays, with the feel of part inn & part museum. Expect cozy bit tight surroundings. Truly an experience in itself. Ideal for small groups & couples.
Perfect rustic Canadian french restaurant- Get the French Onion soup & the Beef Wellington. Charming cozy interior with exposed stone walls & a fireplace.

Located in downtown Quebec City, this restaurant features traditional québécois cuisine. The house dates back to 1675, & is now a historical landmark. The exterior features a very traditional French house that is painted red & white. The interior walls are decorated with carved art pieces, & the ceiling lights shine through stained glass windows. The lunch special is a very good deal, which comes with a drink, bread & butter, a starter, a main dish, & a dessert. With extra fees you have the choice of upgraded dishes. The Lac St Jean Meat Pie is a unique dish made with bison, deer, elk, beef & pork filling. If you're down for the culinary adventure, this dish would be the perfect choice during cold days. The crust is buttery, flaky, & pairs well with the meat filling. The tomato fruit sauce on the side is homemade, & you can taste the tomato chunks along with its sweet & sour flavour profile. The maple syrup pie is another one of their signature desserts. The filling is very sweet, but the cream on top is unsweetened, which tones down the sweetness of the syrup. However, if you feel like something fruity, they also have other options such as a blueberry pie. Overall, a nice dinning experience, & the place was not super busy during a Friday late afternoon.
My husband loved the dish of bison stew,very tender & tasty,I had warm duck confit on bed of salad,nothing to brag about,rather dissapointing dish ,chewy & almost cold duck & service kind of rushing us,to leave fast,It was Sunday 6 pm ,did not seem too full .I remember the place from 10 years ago & it was different, nicer service & really French Canadian food,hoped to have beef bourguignon & foie gras, no luck
Located in a small historic house. I had a reservation for 3:30pm for 7 people, arrived 5 mins before & the host tells me I can wait on the side. 5 mins go by & he tells me he only has 1 table for 4 & another table for 3 ppl or I can wait until a table for 7 clears up. I don't understand why you would offer reservations if you don't honor them. I had my reservation rescheduled to 5pm. I come back at 5pm & get seated. The waiter was the best, he was attentive & we never had to request his service. He spoke french english & spanish! The food was great for all 7 of us (salt was lacking but that is common for these type of places) The cream of chicken stole my heart. The beef wellington was amazing. The desserts were sugary, I am a chocolate fan but I switched my chocolate pie for my sister's blueberry pie. Aside from the reservation issue, everything else was so great that I can overlook it. Would I return? Most likely.
