My go-to place when I visit Quebec. The place is great; the food is good & reasonably priced.
I recommend it.
I had the club sandwich. Try it also before breakfast. Everything is good.

Step back into a 40's diner in an 18th C building. Great breakfasts & very reasonable prices

This was recommended by the front desk at our hotel. Came for dinner around 5:45. Wait staff was very welcoming & knows English. Had the Table d'hote walleye (like sole) & it was excellent. I usually don't order fish other than salmon. Fish & chips were very good also. They have wine. Portions are large. It was so good that we came back for breakfast the next day ( they serve breakfast all day.) The French toast was excellent & maple syrup is the norm, of course! Their oatmeal (made with water for dairy-free) is huge, served with brown sugar.

We went here for our final breakfast & it was overall pretty disappointing. The food was very mediocre. My husband's omelette literally had a piece of what looked like an unmelted Kraft American Single in it. Ewww. None of our food was very warm & it was just okay. We did enjoy the quaint atmosphere & the French toast was decent. We found it odd though that we were told not to join tables for our family of 5, & instead guided over to a corner table for 6, only to watch the wait staff join the exact same tables two minutes later for another party that had just shown up. Anyway, we certainly wouldn't go back, with all the other better breakfast options in Old Town Quebec.

Great breakfast spot with a cozy, classic diner feel. The portions are big & the prices are reasonable. I tried the crepe & eggs Benedict, & it was really satisfying. The eggs Benedict was creamy with rich hollandaise sauce, & the potatoes on the side were nicely cooked. The service was friendly & welcoming. A solid place for a filling breakfast in Québec.

Really great breakfast.
Busy on the weekends (ex. Line up for 15-20 mins)
Worth the wait.
No longer a hidden gem because so busy, but everything is amazing in this place.

We stumbled across Le Buffet De L'Antiquaire looking for breakfast & were so impressed that we came back for lunch the same day, then returned again for breakfast before leaving Québec City.

The food is classic Québec comfort food, hearty, tasty & served in very generous portions. You certainly won't leave hungry. Everything tasted fresh & home-cooked, exactly what we were hoping to find.

What we enjoyed just as much was the atmosphere. The restaurant had a great buzz about it, with a mix of locals & tourists filling the tables. That's usually a good sign, & it definitely lived up to expectations.

A big thank you to Anne, our server, who was welcoming, friendly & made us feel right at home during each visit.

When you return to a restaurant three times in less than two days, that's probably the best recommendation you can give. We wouldn't hesitate to visit again. Highly recommended.

For a week, I ate every breakfast & dinner there. & after that, I bought a T-shirt from the place (a sou-venir, literally a lesser- journey), & then when I got home (Hawaii, so far away) I got on the website just so that I could take the virtual tour to again feel the ambience. It is the perfect size: you feel like you've taken the entire place in. I feel like it is a part of my house, but with a LONG path. But that's OK.
Going traveling & then finding a place like this to nourish your soul is what makes working hard in your job worth it. So, save your paid time off & go eat here. If you're lucky you'll get to sit outside. Note: if you have a large party, i.e., 6 or more, call ahead so that staff seat you.
