Grabbed a table on a random Tuesday night & the tourtière with the wild mushroom sauce was ridiculously good, exactly the kind of hearty Quebecois cooking I was hoping for. The dining room has this cozy old stone & wood beam thing going that makes you forget you're a five minute walk from the boardwalk. Our server actually took the time to explain the history of the building & walked us through the menu without rushing us even though it was a weeknight & not too packed. Wasn't cheap but between the caribou dish & the maple dessert to finish, worth every dollar for a weekend trip that felt a little more special.

Had a lovely experience here with a super nice & bubbly waitress.

The food is very comforting with a lovely Québec cooking. Had the poutine with duck & the 3 cuts of meat. Although pricy, the quality really makes up for it.

Lastly we had the maple pie which was the highlight of being extremely sweet & nice with the cream balancing it out.

The atmosphere was truly a delight too, eating in a homely location.

dinner here was a strange, wonderful experience. the atmosphere, in a truly old building with haphazard decor, is eclectic & homely. the service was friendly, kind, & full of humour from start to finish. we really liked jacob, who took good care of us. the food was thoughtful & felt nourishing to the body & soul. we defaulted to the most quebec-y options & loved every course, from the pea soup to the meat pie to the maple syrup pie. it felt like eating chez mamie. full of good food, we couldn't help but encourage some fellow tourists on the sidewalk to go in & eat immediately! it was easily the most expensive meal we had all weekend, but we had zero regrets.

We really enjoyed this restaurant in the heart of Old Quebec! The food was absolutely amazing! We tried two soups, split pea & the chef's soup, both delicious! We devoured them immediately, so no pictures, sadly. We shared the grandma's plate with meat pie & a variety of sides, everything was so full of flavor & incredibly delicious! For dessert, we had thr Maple Syrup Pie & the Maple Syrup Bread Pudding, amazingly packed with flavor!
Our server was very attentive, cheerful & ready to fill our water glasses each time he stopped at the table. We felt very spoiled by his friendly attention.
The atmosphere is extremely charming, combining old & modern features & decor. & don't miss the bathrooms! A cute little closet with unique features!
Highly recommended this spot, its the oldest French building in Quebec & offers amazing food & service!

Very nice overall & the lunch special is $40 with wine, entree & a maple syrup pie. I feel that I drank a whole bottle of maple syrup eating the pie, but it was so good that I'm still think about it a week later.

Charming waiter, great historic vibe. The food lost one star as I found the duck confit on the salad (even though warmed) to be a little dry. The dessert however, maple syrup pie was 6 🌟!

Oldest house in Quebec. You'll feel like you time travelled with the decor, low ceilings (watch your head!), & food like your ancestors cooked. Felt like home eating cooking with veg that wasn't over seasoned, simple dishes like bison meat bourginignon (sp?) & maple pie (59 -year-old recipe. The service was outstanding. Go upstairs for a museum of tools & devices hundreds of years old. Again, watch your head.

Delicious food! We went for lunch & had the lunch special, French onion soup, ice cider, & beer. Everything was delicious. Especially the maple pie 😋. The staff was friendly, service was quick, & the ambiance was great. We'll be back!

Excellent quality of food. The beef tenderloin was delectable with the mustard gravey. Vegetables were fresh & crisp. Loved the maple syrup pie (like a butter tart), very sweet but went well with a black tea.
