Abbiamo notato il locale per l'aspetto caratteristico, col suo bel tetto rosso. Il menù esposto era invitante e per pranzo era offerto a 39.9 CAD, quindi un buon prezzo visto che offriva primo, secondo , dessert e bevande.
Il ristorante ha confermato le premesse; anche l'interno è caratteristico e molto grazioso. La scelta dei piatti, nonostante il menù turistico, è ampia ed i piatti che abbiamo scelto sono stati gustosi e ben cucinati. Hanno spuccato il salmone in crosta ed il pasticcio e le polpette di carni miste, anche di selvaggina. Impeccabile il servizio sin dall'accoglienza, con la cameriera che ci ha accompagnato per tutto il pranzo con grande cortesia e pazienza nell'interpretare il nostro scarso inglese.
Per chi si trovasse a Quebèc city un posto sicuro per mangiare bene.

Nous sommes venus un midi pour tester la table d'hôte, & c'était juste génial.
Alors qu'il y a des longues files d'attente ailleurs, ici rien! L'endroit est évident génial, chargé d'histoire. Peu de place.
Le repas très tradition est excellent.
La tarte fini parfaitement le repas.
Le service est parfait avec présentation. Des plats.
Au final même pas 40dollars HT c'est juste parfait.
Je le conseil vraiment, un des meilleurs que nous avons fait.

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.

The Vibe: Historical charm paired with polite, swift service-marred by a kitchen that thoroughly fails its own heritage.
?There is an undeniable allure to dining inside the Maison Jacquet, Québec City's oldest residential building. The staff at Aux Anciens Canadiens execute their front-of-house duties with practiced grace & attentiveness. Unfortunately, the grace ends the moment the plates arrive. For a dining room charging fine-dining prices, the kitchen delivers elementary-level missteps.
?Beef Wellington: The ultimate test of technique, completely botched. Instead of a crisp, golden puff pastry wrapping a tender, medium-rare tenderloin, the dish arrived as a soggy, waterlogged jacket hiding an overcooked, gray block of beef. The duxelles lacked seasoning, leaving the entire plate tasting of steam & disappointment.
?Grandma's Treat (Gâterie de la Grand-Mère): A menu item promising comforting traditional Québécois flavors that instead delivers pure blandness. If this recipe was passed down through generations, someone lost the spice rack along the way. It was under-seasoned, uninspired, & frankly, any grandmother worth her salt would be embarrassed to claim it.
?The Verdict
At this price point, historical atmosphere & polite service cannot mask a complete lack of culinary execution. You are paying top dollar for tourist-trap mediocrity. Save your money & eat elsewhere.
