A warm, welcoming traditional restaurant with fantastic service & delicious food. Sadly it was the last stop during our visit to Quebec City but we hope to return one day. Merci!

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.

Housed in the historic Maison Jacquet built in 1675-6, I first ate here in 1979 & have been back numerous times to savour the assorted traditional Québécois dishes. I especially enjoy the Tourtière du Lac St. Jean & the maple Crème Brûlée. Please keep the traditions alive!!!

Had a superb traditional Quebec dinner at this popular restaurant housed within a building which originated in the 1670's. The beef & bison pie dishes were delicious. Service was friendly & professional. A highly enjoyable dining experience. Highly recommended.

Some will comment that this is more of a tourist attraction than a restaurant full of local families. While that it is probably true given the location, is is also a great place for delicious traditional Québécois fare. The décor is charming with many antiques & our dinner was delicious. While our dinner was great, dessert was a highlight with maple crème bulee & blueberry pie.

I would 100% recommend this place! We tried the red deer, bison, & elk meat, & it was delicious. We also had the traditional dish poutine, which is fries with gravy & cheese.
As a dessert we had a typical pie with maple syrup which was AMAZING
What really stood out was the kindness & attention of the staff at all times.
If you're visiting Quebec, you shouldn't miss it!

Absolutely fantastic. Everything was delicious & prepared very well. It was great to choose from the traditional Québécois meals. My husband had Beef Wellington which was his favourite meal of our trip.

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.
