Buffet de L'Antiquaire is widely celebrated as a quintessential destination for authentic Quebec comfort food, offering hearty portions and a warm, classic diner atmosphere that resonates with both locals and visitors alike. Guests frequently praise the delicious breakfast menu, noting the exceptional quality of dishes like eggs Benedict, poutine, and traditional meat pies, often accompanied by homemade strawberry jam. While the restaurant is popular and can experience wait times, many diners find the high-quality food, attentive and friendly service, and reasonable prices make it well worth the visit, with several people even returning multiple times during their stay in the city.
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.
Found this amazing breakfast place in old Quebec City, simply awesome. Te Te (Thierry) had the breakfast kitchen under control as we watched from our counter seats. Food was excellent as was the service. We ate there 2 days of our 3 day get away & left happy & full, enjoy.
Came here for breakfast. I don't usually write reviews but I was really disappointed giving the overwhelmingly positive comments here.
The food was fine, but nothing incredible - definitely not worth the wait.
There was always a significant lineup from the time we arrived to when we finished, but much of this seemed to be do to inefficiency in their seating process - while we were waiting, with many people ahead of us & no one having been seated for a while, we counted at least two four-person tables & five two-person tables sitting empty.
The mugs had a very worn look/feel to them, & my wife had to send hers back because it was quite dirty, which turned me off my coffee. Some of my cutlery was also dirty.
After reading the glowing reviews about this restaurant, we stopped by for breakfast during our trip to Quebec City.
I was wildly excited about their eggs Benedict, but I couldn't have been more disappointed. Everything was completely flavorless. No seasoning, no lemon, & the hash brown potatoes were barely cooked.
On top of that, the service was disappointingly slow. At busy restaurants, I would normally give a wide berth. But in this case, you could see the servers just standing around talking. There was no sense of urgency. This is one breakfast spot I will not return to. Highly recommend looking for something else.
This place serves delicious food.'La Cochonne' is amazing for breakfast, & for lunch,'Le Ragoût de Boulettes & Pattes' is simply delicious. It's the perfect spot for anyone who loves homemade-style flavors. The menu is available in French, English, & Spanish, & the staff can assist you in all three languages. A must-visit place to eat.
A classic dinner feel with a staff that is half friendly & half'meh'. The food wasn't bad but it wasn't amazing. I appreciated the breakfast, & really liked the sausages dipped in the delicious maple syrup. Would certainly recommend if you are in need of a good breakfast, but not if you were looking for something unique.
