Such an authentic little place. Friendly staff & the ambience was very quaint. Settler style. The $39.95 lunch is great value. Leek & Potato soup. Had the Grandma's Treat - meat pie, meatballs & baked beans.& Maple syrup upside down pudding as dessert. Perfect fare for a cold day walking around old Quebec. Thank you for a wonderful experience 🙏🏼

A must-visit in the center of Quebec City. My party stayed in the city for 2 days, during which we dined at several traditional & First Nation restaurants. This one pleasantly surprised us. Initially, we were unsure about it because the restaurant is often advertised in hotels, which can be a negative sign. However: The staff was genuinely friendly & efficient. We opted for the lunch menu, priced at 40 Canadian dollars, which included an appetizer, main course, dessert, & a glass of wine. We chose to pay a bit more for the meats that are not easily found elsewhere, such as bison, elk, & deer. I wholeheartedly recommend it! These uncommon meats exceeded the quality we experienced at another, more expensive restaurant we visited the previous night. The puff pastry that accompanied the bison was crispy but not dry, complementing the meat perfectly. The sides served with the bison, elk, & deer dish allowed us to pair each meat with vegetables that complemented them well. & the traditional, remarkably simple & warm maple syrup pie was the perfect finishing touch! The staff was always eager to answer our questions, & once they learned that we needed to rush to the train station, they promptly brought the bill, always with a smile. Last but not least, experiencing the ambiance of the oldest restaurant in Quebec City was a remarkable part of our visit. Out of my week-long stay in Canada, this was the first & only place where I was happy to leave a (generous) tip. P.S. - food is larger & more filling than portrayed in the photos attached.

The atmosphere & vibe is really cool! The food is great. I had dinner set which includes a house wine/ beer, an appetizer, a main course & a dessert. The meat pie is highly recommended. It's a great balance between the savory of the meat, the flaky crust & the sweet-ish taste of the ketchup on the side. I had the bison bourguignon for the main course & it was delicious but I was hoping the meat to be more tender as it's a bit dry. For dessert I had the maple pie to go as the portion is pretty generous & I didn't have room for dessert. However, the service wasn't that good & I did not feel welcomed. For example, no bread was served at my table while the rest of the tables were. The waiter was trying to rush through my order/service. The waiter helped the other table packed the to go box but just threw the boxes at me & I had to do it myself. I would not think it would be a big deal if I didn't see how the other guests were treated - well packed & were put in a bags & were ready to do. For me, there is no bags provided & I had to asked for it & was told they may not have bags. It just ruined the whole experience. & that's after I gave 15% tips...

Being French-Canadian, I really enjoyed the quality & authentic favors, not to mention the presentation of this place. We had the great luck of being seated upstairs in the cosy intimate room in the back complete with real decor. The service (by Steven) was especially attentive & friendly.
The game (which we have had all over the world) was cooked to perfection, the best!
Beware, the salmon was way over cooked & dry. For dessert, we had the maple pie, ho la la...
