Cute dinner spot. On Wednesdays it seems like they have all you can eat mussels. We actually order the tuna tartare & duck confit. Very nice meal

The Cod was delicious as were my mussels. I would have given a 5 but you need a nice crusty piece of bread to enjoy the mussel sauce. The rolls served were quite underwhelming!

Lovely place with warm, welcoming service. My husband ordered the special: all-you-can-eat mussels & it didn't disappoint. Plus, the French fries that accompanied them were amazing—hot & fresh, perfectly salted & crunchy. I had the seafood bisque & it was perfectly seasoned, not too heavy, with plenty of fresh, delicious seafood. Our server was charming & attentive, & the food was fresh & flavorful. I highly recommend!

Staff friendly but mussels in wine sauce completely bland. No flavor to sauce at all. The sweet breads were good, though.

Superb food, ambience & service! The mussels with Dijon & cheese sauce, & the beef cheeks, really stood out. Can't wait to come back to this cozy & friendly restaurant on our next trip to Quebec City.

Amazing place! Waitress was so friendly & attentive. Food was great I had the duck & my boyfriend had the mussels. The ambiance is nice but be sure to reserve in advance if you want to be sure to eat there, it is a small place & they had to turn away some walkins.
