The best dinner we have had in many years! The food & staff are wonderful. It was a great night out. The mussels & duck were perfection & the Creme brûlée was a wonderful end to a perfect meal.

We had an excellent evening at the Bistro. The service was friendly & prompt while the Covid set-up reassuring. The food was delicious though the only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the escargot covered with cheese. Being a lover of escargots, this took away from the taste & there was hardly any garlic butter. On the other hand the mussels (marinière), the shared smoked seafood platter & the paella were excellent. The street is under construction but it was quiet when we went.

Cozy atmosphere & very good food — mussels, french onion soup, tartiflette, wine, & profiteroles. If you are looking for a memorable evening at a classic Quebec bistro, this is the place.

This little place is unassuming, but was a very good experience. The atmosphere was very casual but the food was rich & delicious. We started with the parmesan Dijon mussels which is not normally a sauce we would choose for mussels, but we took a chance & were not disappointed. Next, the pork osso bucco was very tasty & although not beef, the dish was rich with flavor & the meat fell off the bone. The duck confit was just as delicious & melted in your mouth. We also had the beef tartare. It was good, but probably would not order this again off of this menu because other menu items were better. Although the place was very busy the service was good as well.

We were in town for 4 days & this was our favorite meal. We will return when in Quebec City again. Thank you for a lovely meal!

On recommendation from a friend searched out this little gem in Quebec City. Couldn't make unlimited mussels night but even the small size mussels were plentiful! Our server was really great the small cozy decor reminded me of the underground cave at the museum. Normally where we come from in Vancouver the French onion soups tend to be very salty but this one has superb cheese pull & not salty at all. I ordered the rabbit entree with risotto & ratatouille. Magnafique!!! Would definitely recommend!
