We went for brunch & it was so so good! A bit on the pricier side but it is right downtown in the tourist area so what can you expect! The crepes were amazing & the service was great 👍

They had a special dessert when I went here - a white cake with dates & brown butter glaze? Not exactly sure. That cake was revelatory. My god. It was so good, just thinking about it makes my mouth water.

Since I wasn't that hungry I just got the onion soup which I didn't like - it was way too salty.

Very cozy & historic building & friendly service with totally ok food. Nothing fancy that will blow your mind, but also not terrible or super bland. The service was good & welcoming from the super cheerful guy (don't know his name) & the atmosphere is very cozy.. like sitting in your very old grandmas living room. We got a salmon dish & chicken, was it amazing? Not really. It was a tad bland & lacked some spice, but it wasn't bad. The price was good since it came with a small appetizer & a drink. Worth checking out if you haven't been there.

Tout était parfait, pour moi c'était la première fois que je suis allé là, j'ai adoré tous les plats que j'ai dégustés, bon relation de prix & qualité. Je dépensait 100$ pour moi & mon copain, & nous étions plein!

The location is idyllic down the road from the Chateau Frontenac. My dish (bison bourguignon (which had a hint of creamy blueberry sauce)) was served in a puff pastry shell that once emptied of its main ingredient remained dry on the bottom. My partner's dish Lac St -Jean meat pie was fortunately served with a delectable fruit jelly, however, there was not nearly enough of it to help swallow the dry dish. This restaurant has been there for many years. It is clear from many reviews that sometimes there is too much sauce or seasoning, & I'm envious of the photos that show extra sauce as we literally had to sip our drinks to get it down. Aux Ancients Canadiens is lacking the joie de vivre that makes quebecois fare so delectable. My partner grew up eating French Canadian food & was deeply disappointed by this visit.
This restaurant is the perfect experience for someone with a delicate palette that wants to try traditional Quebec comfort food, without worrying about seasoning. This site is a fond favorite for many. Their atmosphere is still relaxing & warm, the service is excellent & multilingual. For myself it is not worth revisiting, particularly for its price point.

Warm & welcoming restaurant very close to Chateau Frontenac in Old Quebec. Traditional cuisine, with staff happy to explain dishes. Meat pie was lovely, & the two desserts were wonderful (Maple Bread Pudding & dessert du moment, which was a cranberry & date cake with butter sauce). The building is old, so be aware that the bathrooms are up narrow stairs, & you do need to watch your head & step!

Great place! Food is great with large portion sizes. The staff is great, & it's also a great atmosphere, as it's in the oldest building in Quebec. Highly recommended!
