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.

The shepherd's pie & accompanying sides were pretty tasteless. Felt like I was eating hospital cafeteria food. Not a great sign when one is paying $28 all in.

I ordered an omelette with mushrooms. It came with potatoes & toast on the side. I also added a meat pie.

The flavors were quite plain & home-style, nothing refined or impressive.

We enjoyed the poutine, strawberry milkshake & sugar pie. Friendly service & the cafe has an air of warm history.

Had to wait outside, fortunately not for long. Hostess couldnt tell us how long the wait was when we got there. I have friends that have worked in the industry for decades & they always say a restaurant should be able to tell you how long the wait is. It's just good restaurant management. Got the pate chinois, which is a shepherds pie that used to be served to Chinese migrant railroad workers. Seems a bit racist to still call it that but moving on... It was cold. Tasted OK once it was reheated but there was a strong spice in it that I couldn't place that was a bit odd. Waitress seemed annoyed about giving me a take away box at the end of the meal.

We were really looking forward to trying some traditional Quebec fare & had a chilly but fun conversation with some locals while we waited outside for a table. The peasoup was very good but the classic meat pie & stew were disappointing by any standards, much less those of a highly rated local favorite. The food was overcooked & generally bland, not what you'd expect for a city known for culinary excellence.

First night in town. It looked quaint from the outside, warm & cosy on the inside & the owner is very friendly. We share a huge piece of 3 meats & vegi pie with salad. The food was delicious, the ambience was just what we were looking for. Really enjoyed.

Step away from the more touristy quarter & enjoy some Quebec classics in this locals spot. Delicious! We enjoyed poutine, onion soup & Quebec meat potato pie - all delicious & great relaxed atmosphere!

La nourriture est bonne, j'ai eu le malheur d'une très petite table pour mes jambes & j'ai été pris au piège, nous avons commandé de la mayonnaise & je ne suis jamais arrivé (il y avait beaucoup de clients que nous avons compris la situation) tous leurs travailleurs ont une bonne attitude.

Adorable, quaint diner. Soooo many options. Breakfast all day. Poutine options looked great. The French meat pie was delicious. The pork meatball stew was delicious as well. The option to add soup & a tea or coffee to an entree was a great bargain.
Parked at the port lot nearby & was an easy walk over.
Would absolutely come back again for the variety alone.
