Ambiance is good, service is slow. But most importantly, food was really not good. I ordered the specialty dish of 3 different tenderloins, 1 was good the other 2 were bad. Also the side vegetables are below average My wife took chicken breast (cordon bleu), that tasted like frozen nuggets reheated, again with the sauce & veggies being below average Wine is good. We took white wine All in all not worth the experience
Very good restaurant. They have a Pre fixe menu which offers a glass of wine/beer, appetizer, entree & dessert for reasonable fee. Food was well prepared. Old charm ambiance dining areas.
This restaurant is a must on your visit to Quebec City. What an excellent dining experience. This place is on all the recommended eating lists for a reason. We didn't have a single bad bite the entire dinner. The set menu has so much choice & is very reasonably priced for all that you get. Service was also amazing. We started with red wine which I actually enjoyed & I'm not a wine person at all, followed by apps, my partner ordered the beans, I had the escargot. Fresh, warm buns were brought out quickly each time we asked. Our soups were pea & french onion, both delicious. For our mains, I tried beef Wellington & he got the special of the night which was the turkey dinner. My beef Wellington had some kinda appley sauce that I wasn't sure about at first but everything paired so nicely together. It very much tasted like home cooking but in the best way. Very homey, full of comfort. For dessert we tried the bread pudding & maple creme brûlée. Some of the best creme brûlée ever! I will return on my next visit to the city. Can't say enough good things.

It was an interesting restaurant, & we popped in to be taken to quaint styled interiors. Staff are friendly & attentive. Food arrived on time & delicious. Escargot was nice but a bit overcooked for me. The open meat pie was nicely done & balanced. My partner's Bison pie was interesting. The poutine was nice & the wine was decent. The pudding, Maple syrup pie tasted great, & so was my partner's Apple pie. We chose the set menu, & it was fairly priced. Overall, the experience was good apart from a little indigestion I experienced after.
Value for money!!! Spending around CAD50 then you could have a set of French meal including a glass of house wine. Many choices for customers. The appetizer I chose-Wild Meat Cretons was full of meat, pork if I didn't remember wrongly. I liked the taste but couldn't have too much; then the accompanying sauce & the side dish(I guessed it was something like pickles) did a nice touch-lightened the grease. About the main dish, it was interesting! The puff pastry wrapped with salmon so it was crispy outside & soft inside. Nice together & seasoning. The sauerkraut also made the whole dish not too greasy. As for the dessert, I was not a fan of it since it was too sweet🤣 Anyway, I really enjoyed my food & the atmosphere here.
We had a fantastic experience at Aux Anciens Canadiens for our first night in Québec City! The food was delicious, & Samuel our waiter was wonderful - very friendly, polite, & checked in on us regularly. His recommendations are the best! The service was well timed over the three courses, so we didn't have to wait long at all between dishes. We felt very relaxed & cosy in the restaurant. I would recommend this restaurant to friends for sure & I'll be dreaming about the Bison bourguignon with creamy blueberry wine sauce until my next visit. We did the 3 course meal with wine or beer.
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...
