My wife & I visited & had one of the best meals we have ever had. The restaurant is cozy. We ate at the best restaurants, from Paris to Madrid to New Orleans. We had reservations months ahead. If you want to go for dinner, you must make reservations. Be sure to get a table downstairs. The Bordeaux wine is perfect & a fair price. The waitresses, Florence & Megan, are excellent & full of joy & knowledge of food. Chef Phill is very welcoming & hardworking.

Amazing how a place can feel so much like home while also offering some of the best food we've ever had. Fantastic service, wine selection & ambience! We've been in Quebec for a couple weeks & have tried a couple dozen restaurants & this one came out on top. Make a reservation here, you won't regret it!

What an all encompassing delight of a dining experience. 10/10 across the board. Camille, our server, had the best recommendations. The food & wine were exceptional. Try the beef cheek! Make a reservation! Spend all of your money here.

The food was spectacular, as was the service by Zach, & the the GSM wine.

Struggled to decide what to have for dinner because, honestly, everything on the menu looks incredible. Ended up with a French onion soup & tuna tartare starter, both fantastic. For mains, I had the beef cheek, & no word of a lie, beef will never taste the same again to me. It was without question, the best beef I've ever tasted. 30 hour sous vide for the win. My family also had the cassoulet (duck leg was pretty special) & carbonara (bonus points for the quail egg). I'm not going to say that we drove all the way from Ottawa just to eat here, but I will say that when I get a craving for beef cheek - which is bound to happen now that I've tasted the beef of the gods - this place will be worth the drive. Camille also gets bonus points for knowing exactly how much wine one needs (i.e. more) & being a lovely server.

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.

Food was delicious! Everything was extremely tasty & good portions. My only complaint & the reason for 4* is the wine pours were so small that I thought it was a mistake! When I ordered my second glass, I mentioned something but the server said this was normal?!?! I dine out often enough that it seemed like maybe 4 oz. Perhaps I would recommend a bottle if we dined here again since this seemed so unreasonable. The steak, cod & French Onion soup were excellent. Otherwise the restaurant was very good!

Great food & service. Had escargots as an entree which was delicious. Moules frites was also perfect. My son's octopus was just a little overcooked but I was glad they had the Entre Deux Mers wine from France that I love. Excellent service going out of their way to find us a place even though it was quite busy. Make a reservation to be sure not to miss it. Nice sitting outside.

During a visit to Quebec last week, my husband & I had dinner at this restaurant. It was the best meal we had during our stay. When we arrived we were initially assigned a table next to a speaker. The music was too loud for us.They immediately gave us another table where we could hear the lovely music they were playing (mostly French) & still be able to have a conversation. The steak frites I had & the seafood stew my husband had were delicious, well seasoned & nicely presented, as well as the tarte tatin we shared for dessert. I wanted to have a glass of red wine with dinner but was not familiar with any of the wines on their list. Our server asked me to describe the kind of wine I like &, based on that, she recommended one from Spain, which was perfect. The ambiance of this place was very hospitable. Our server was exceptional. We look forward to our next visit.

Fantastic French bistro food. We both got different rabbit confit dishes. Meat fell right off the bone! Lovely waitress gave us excellent wine pairing recommendations. Finished with the delicious apple tart á la mòde 🤩 The outdoor seating was great, & there was live music performance in the plaza nearby.
