I admired its architecture from the outside, as it has a significance as the oldest standing residential house in Quebec City (Maison François-Jacquet-Dit-Langevin, 1690).
Restaurant Aux Ancient Canadiens hosted our group of 16 in March 2026 with a Table d' Hote & the food & service was superb. We especially enjoyed the sampling of traditional Quebecois dishes. I've dined here several times since first finding it in 1981 & it's always a treat.
Lovely atmosphere, forgettable plates
First of all, the service was excellent. The staff was incredibly kind & attentive, the location is great, & the atmosphere feels like stepping into a cozy mountain house. The dining room is small & warm, & they also offer a very good selection of beers.
Unfortunately, the food was a real disappointment. The dishes are traditional & sounded delicious on the menu, but when they arrived they gave the impression of frozen food that had simply been reheated.
We ordered the St-Jean meat pie, which arrived visibly dry. It felt a bit like eating homemade food that a loving aunt might cook & send frozen by mail. That kind of food can feel special because you imagine the care behind it but once it goes through the freezing & reheating process, something is lost. It simply wasn't what we expected.
We also ordered the onion soup. It was quite watery, & the bread inside had a strange texture, beyond just being soaked. It wasn't terrible & it was still drinkable, but considering the price & the restaurant's reputation, it was underwhelming
One detail that surprised me: when we ordered, the waiter told us the dishes would be ready'in 15 minutes.' The precision was impressive… maybe that's just the defrosting time 😅
For context, this was a weekday dinner & the restaurant wasn't particularly busy. Maybe we just caught them on a bad day, I honestly don't know, but the food didn't live up to the expectations created by the menu, the prices, & the history of the place.
The price is way too high for the quality of food. The onion soup is super salty, the beef wellington is in the bed of wet sauce??? The wild game meat is great without the sauce, but the sauce is terrible
Unfortunately, the food was over cooked & bland. Service was good. The establishment plays up the charm of this old building but can't deliver on the food.
Had the lunch special. Soup, entree dessert & glass of wine or beer or soda. Had the chefs special...seafood casserole. It was delicious! We went back a second time. All for 40 bucks Canadian.
Clean, prompt service. Tight walking area because its anold building. Enjoyed it.
On est venus souper car on se souvenait être venus dans le passé & avoir aimé notre expérience.
L'endroit est vraiment cute & les décorations sont jolies, & on a eu un bon service, mais la nourriture était TELLEMENT trop chère & ordinaire. On a pris du boeuf Wellington, qui était bleu (presque pas cuit) & la pâte en-dessous était crue. Ça goûtait bon mais d'avoir cette cuisson quand tu ne l'as pas demandé, c'était vraiment ordinaire. On s'attend à un certaine niveau pour un plat de 45$+.
