Review Summary

Buffet de L'Antiquaire is a beloved destination in Old Quebec, celebrated for its authentic and hearty Quebecois comfort food. Visitors frequently praise the generous portions and the delicious quality of classic staples like eggs Benedict, poutine, French onion soup, and homemade strawberry jam. Whether enjoyed on the charming terrace or in the cozy, retro-diner atmosphere of the upper floor, the experience is consistently described as a fantastic way to enjoy traditional local dishes. While the restaurant is exceptionally popular and often requires a wait during peak times, many diners find the welcoming service and reasonable prices to be well worth it, often returning multiple times during their stay.

I wanted to try an authentic old Quebec breakfast experience & found this place, it was lovely, outdoor seating, indoor & a second floor seating to accommodate all of its customers, was greeted & seated within a minute of arriving, it is a very busy place so it did take a little while to get our food but I have no complaints about that, you could see how busy they are so it was expected, they offer homemade bread & it was amazing! The potatoes & sausage wasnt what i am used to but it was still great, cost for 2 breakfast was 31$ with the tax, & we did leave there feeling full & satisfied

Quality food & busy place, you will probably have to wait. Slow service, & they have a big problem with the fruit flies inside (next to the bar) & in the toilets.

One of the most amazing & authentic place in all of quebec with actual history & experience you will truly appreciate. Take the seat on the sidewalk for a sunny outdoor experience or indoors for a busy experience. My favorite is the upper floor that has a history & id well suited for large groups & merry making. Back opens to a beautiful ally. If you enter from the front, be sure to exit from the back if its your first visit.

Group of 4, 2 said 5/5 for food (breakfast poutine & ratatouille), one said 2/5(fish n chips) & my pea soup was 4/5. Staff friendly, service excellent (water refilled quickly, dirty dishes cleared quickly, no pressure to leave). Cool breeze & in shade on a hot day. Was a gem to find in old Quebec. It was busy so gave us an indication it was a great place. Lived up to it.

After reading reviews, I decided for the best onion soup you may ever have: an abundant amount of goodness. The lunch menu has an upgrade option with soup & coffee. So, the meat pie was the king of this castle. The simple side of vegetables was elegant, had a family-kind of cooking, like if a grandma is making sure you eat delicious greens happily. The staff, did I just meet them? Such a friendly crew!! & their regulars were instant friends, & make sure you are a neighbor. I went for lunch, off peak hours on a lazy afternoon. I know it gets busy, so plan your visit.

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.

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.

The food was really good, just not'great' but I will definitely return to try other menu items. The staff were friendly & the service was very good. I must have arrived at a good time because it wasn't very busy (also less people in the area in winter, I guess).
I'll be back for sure next time I'm in Québec.

They are busy & popular for a reason. Food is really, really good. I was in Québec city for 2 days & went twice. The service is impeccable even with a full place. Highly recommend!!
