Very rude waitress. Very disgusting food. The food was awful the meat was hard. The old woman who served us was rude. In the end of course we did not tip. & she started to confront us, blaming us for not tipping her. She did not deserve any tip & was extremely rude, & the restaurant serves very upsetting food, tastes like public school lunch. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME & MONRY HERE!!!!
The lunch special is kind of value if you really care about being full. The portion sizes are generous but the food was very subpar. Everything we ordered was too salty/sweet/soggy/bland for my taste but I guess that's what traditional food is like. Service was good. Place seems like a bit of a tourist trap overall.
Restaurant housed in the oldest house in Quebec City. This was my third visit to the city, but my first time actually trying a traditional Quebecois restaurant. It was one of the places the staff at the Fairmont had recommended last year, so I finally came for their lunch special.
Quebec comfort food. Nothing mind-blowing or flashy, but exactly what I'd expected from a French grandma's kitchen. It actually reminded me of the dishes my French professor used to make when she hosted Thanksgiving dinners at her house. Familiar flavors, a few quirky condiments, & an overall sense of home-style warmth.
Quebec Meat Pie - Meat pie with ketchup didn't sound very French, but the ketchup turned out to be fruit ketchup. Jammy, tangy, somewhere between salsa & chutney. The diced tomatoes & beets mixed in gave it a nice twist.
Beer Bourguignon - A solid entrée. The beef was a little too lean for my taste, but otherwise comforting.
Maple Syrup Pie - Texturally closer to a soft pecan pie but much sweeter. Maple flavor got lost under all the syrup & sugar, though still enjoyable enough as a classic finisher.
A boutique yet roomy restaurant. Actually located in the oldest building in town 😄. Don't miss the lunch special combos if you would like to try some authentic French cuisine.
Had our lunch in one of the oldest houses in QC. Traditional Quebecois food was good. Love the Quebec meat pie & the maple syrup pie dessert. The set meal is quite good deal when shared.
Four of us had the lunch special, three courses plus a local beer or wine for 39.99 CAD. Appetizer, main, dessert. Many options available, some with an upcharge, all very good. My vegetarian wife had enough good vegetarian options. Recommended by a guide earlier in the day, even though it wasn't one of our stops.
We've dined here now 3 times, & over the years, this wonderful spot has retained its charm & quality of cuisine. The food is piping hot, & the ingredients used are of exceptional quality. The price is very reasonable - today we had the daily special; glass of house wine, soup, main course (Filet Mignon), & Apple Crumble dessert - $40. Fantastic lunch, the staff is very friendly, & the ambience is straight out of Europe. There is a lot of competition for your dining dollar in Quebec City, but this one is a gem.
