restaurant tres typé, avec un menu unique & quasiment que des touristes. mais une fois qu'on a dit ça, le service est extra & la nourriture sincèrement bonne. si comme nous vous ne connaissez pas la cuisine québécoise, foncez. après attention si on s'écarte du menu fixe, les prix sont assez élevés (petite bière à 10 CAD, 6 CAD le café filtre, etc). C'est plus pour un déjeuner qu'un dîner , mais sincèrement ça nous a bq plus (la salade de magret assez bien assaisonnée, la soupe de poids, le cochon a la moutarde, & surtout tarte myrtille & celle au sirop d'érable faites maison).

I loved the atmosphere of this place, you can tell it's a house-turned-restaurant & it's charming, feels almost like you're eating at grandma's house. The staff were also lovely! That said the food was just ok... The pea soup was very good, but that's where it ended - the meat pie was ok, the meatballs surprisingly came in a cinnamon sauce (very unexpected), the veggies & sides felt like an afterthought, & the creme brulee didn't taste like maple, vanilla or anything other than a regular pudding. If there was a way to taste the unique dishes without getting the full 3 course meal, it would have been fantastic, but unfortunately you can only take appetizers a la carte... Not cheap & not worth it, in my opinion.

Amazing experience with classic Quebecois food. Must try their meat pie & pea soup. Beef Wellington was also good. The server Simon was very friendly & had a good story for each item ordered. Would go again in a heartbeat!

Home-style traditional Canadian food. Very good service (Merci, Samuel) Generous portions & meat-centric. We loved the pea soup, beef bourguignon, & coulibiac.

Outstanding service, very friendly & accommodating, a real pleasure to be their guest. The three of us had the Table d'hote with different selections for appetizers & entrees, & it was phenomenal. Soup of the day was mushroom soup, probably the best I've ever tasted! The onion soup was equally delectable. I had the Quebec meat pie & meatball ragout, very tasty & the fruit ketchup was a nice complement. My wife had the chicken cordon bleu while our daughter had the duck poutine, all three dishes were amazing. A lovely evening out for us, such great hospitality & an experience to remember. Merci!

Dining inside what is considered the oldest house in Quebec was so charming. Our waitress was very friendly & the food was absolutely incredible! For appetizers, my family enjoyed the very cheesy escargot dish & my dad absolutely loved the French onion soup. In terms of entrees, the filet mignon dish was tasty & the meat pie (which I was looking forward to trying in Quebec) was better than I could have ever imagined & I really enjoyed its flaky crust. For desserts, we chose the chocolate pie & the maple crème brûlée, & they were nothing short of spectacular. In fact, the crème brûlée was the best I have ever eaten! Since ordering dishes individually can really add up, I recommend ordering in the form of a formule ($39.99+ for 1 drink + 1 appetizer + 1 entree + 1 dessert), which allows you to try a complete meal for a fraction of the cost of ordering each component individually. Overall, I enjoyed dining at Aux Anciens Canadiens & hope to be back again someday!

Cute place, closed in & crowded with history. Great deals for the tourist looking for a full meal. We kept things simple with cocktails & soup. The split pea soup was great, the onion soup had a great broth but was a bit too much in the way of bread. The cocktails were a big fail. Stick to wine or water here.

So, we had heard so much about this restaurant as being a tradition Canadian food restaurant. The people were nice, friendly & accommodating but the food. The presentation was good but...... The chicken cordon bleu was so dry, even the sauce it was served with couldn't moisten it. The meatballs tasted like cardboard mixed with mystery meat. The meat pie was bland. Underwhelming meal. On the upside, the pea soup was good & so was dessert but how can you go wrong with maple syrup, cake & sugar.

Decor is super cute & lovely but food was not too impressive, but a good place to try "Quebec cuisine." Tried escargot, duck salad, French onion soup, maple syrup cake, chocolate pie, grandmas special(?) & more

Historic restaurant right near downtown historic Quebec. Got the lunch set menu for 40$. Came with beer or wine, an appetizer, a main plate, & a dessert. Many many options & some that have up charges so if you get those items you will come out above the 40$. I got beer, pea soup (to try the traditional soup), grandma's treat (meat pie, fruit ketchup, meatball ragout, & some veggies), & the maple pie. All were great & is a great deal for lunch menu. Did not leave hungry.
