We both ordered the 1/2 roasted chicken dinner with French fries. It was outstanding. Succulent & moist. & the portion was enormous. The mussel appetizer was OK as was the escargot. The Pinot Noir wine they served was from 2023 & not ready to be served. Would go back for the chicken since it might have been the best single dish we had in our four days in the city.

Everything was perfect. We started with escargots, mussels, & French onion soup. Then we shared the duck & chicken which were both prepared so so well. Duck was definitely a top 2 for me having eaten duck at many restaurants. Not a lot of seating inside but very special decor. For lunch, just two staff & one chef. Made us feel at home.

Very warm & welcoming place with friendly service. I ordered beef cheeks, which while tender, were a little bit on a dried out side. My party enjoyed their all-you-can-eat mussels that happened to be the "special" on that night. Overall, it is rather 4.5 than just 4.

Their mussels are to die for & the atmosphere at this place in unmatched! Love the creativity & craft that went into their patio & our server Zac was first class. Their dessert offerings are also worth trying.

Lovely meal! Started with the french onion soup then moved to two kinds of mussels. Really appreciated Camille's advice on the drinks & where to go once we finished our meal! Thanks!

So far this is our favorite meal during our visit to Quebec. We enjoyed mussels in garlic & wine for appetizers. The main course selected was butter chicken & seafood bisque. The portions were plentiful & meals were delicious.

Dined in a party of four. Sat downstairs in a cozy, inviting room. Sound system pumped out French popular music from Charles Trenet to Joe Dassin. Lovely setting for dining in Quebec.

Food was excellent. Started with mussels & escargot, both prepared well. The sous vide duck confit was outstanding. The accompany salad was fresh & nicely dressed with some brightness added by pickled vegetables. But do save room for the tarte tartin. Ooh la la. Oh, & the wines for the price were exceptional.

Although I knew Foie Gras torchons can have weak flavor, I still wanted to try it. Unfortunately, it was cold & flavorless. I would at least warm it for serving. Ideally, Foie gras is best seared to extract its flavor. Mussels in white wine were just OK. Sweetbreads & Ragout de Mer were fantastic. All said, I would definitely dine at your restaurant again.
