Je suis venue ici avec ma famille deux fois pendant mon dernier séjour au Vieux-Québec & les deux fois tout le monde a été rassassié, ce qui n'est pas nécessairement facile à faire avec les enfants!
Le menu est typique franco-canadien, avec un décor'diner' à l'ancienne, mais la qualité des plats est une coche au-dessus de la première impression pour ce genre de restaurant'dinner'. Solide rapport qualité-prix.
J'ai pris la poutine traditionnelle pour l'un des repas & le classique deux-oeufs-bacon pour l'autre repas. Le deux-oeufs-bacon était bien, avec un bon mix d'épices pour les pommes de terre rissolées & la portion un peu plus grosse que ce que je vois d'habitude.
Quand je choisis des mets'traditionnels' pour mes repas, j'aime bien les comparer d'un restaurant à un autre pour me former une idée du plat'idéal' (qui n'existe que comme concept) & du plat'étalon' sur lequel devrait se baser toute les variantes de ce plat. Je ne sais pas comment ils préparent leur poutine traditionnelle, mais cette image du plat'étalon' m'est venue en tête quand je l'ai dégustée.
L'un des membres de ma famille, qui a un immense appétit, a fait l'erreur de sélectionner Le Migneron (pain doré, jambon forêt noire, fromage de Charlevoix, un oeuf, le tout recovert de sirop d'érable) après avoir mangé un sandwhich quelques heures plus tôt. Je dis une erreur... parce que c'était fabuleux mais dense. Il aurait pû terminer le plat s'il n'avait rien mangé auparavant. Nous avons savouré ce que nous avons pû & demandé ce plat pour emporter.
À part ça, je voudrais noter que c'est probablement mieux de réserver parce qu'il y a généralement une file devant ce restaurant. L'attente n'était pas si longue, mais nous avons attendu.
I got a Poutine & the bean soup, my friend got the breakfast poutine & everything was VERY GOOD. Portion sizing is good, not too big like american breakfast sizing, but enough to fuel you up for the day. Prices are a bit high, but the location & atmosphere as well as the food make it all worthwhile. Staff was very friendly & they do speak English for tourist if you need.
Excellent food in a very interesting & fun environment. We had Louise as our server both times we were there & she is so much fun. The breakfast poutine was awesome as were the shepherds pie.

We stopped by here for lunch on a weekday. We were able to get a table outside as it was a lovely day, & it was nice to people watch while eating. We both had poutine - which was great - & the servers were very nice. Also very reasonably priced. It was very full at lunch with locals - a sign of a good restaurant!
Une expérience fantastique. Personnel chaleureux & accueillant, & une serveuse qui a su me recommender le combo ideal! & que dire de la nourriture. Un club sandwich au smoke meat, digne de photos (preuve a l'appui) & de mention. Absolument délicieux. & que dire de la poutine italienne, dont la sauce a la viande saura vous faire rêver. Même la salade de chou est extraordinaire. Même si le stationnement est parfois compliqué, ca en vaut amplement le détour.
Hit this place for dinner one night & breakfast the next day. Friendly staff, local diner vibes, good food. Ragout was delicious, meat pie solid, good specials to choose from. Breakfast bumps this review to a 5. Breakfast poutine was awesome as was the eggs Benedict & the solid breakfast plates with crepes. Be forwarned... you'll need to nap afterwards! ALOT of food!
Absolutely fab food, we arrived at like 5:30pm on a Saturday night & they had us seated right away. The staff were gems, they were super lovely. I had the mushroom spaghetti & a side of onion rings, & my friends had the club sandwich & the hot dog poutine. Everything was delicious, especially the onion rings!
We came at 3pm on Saturday & got seated right away. They let us get plates to share & were friendly to let me practice my French even though they spoke English!
The fish & chips & Quebec plates we got were absolutely awesome tasting tender, flavorful, & juicy the whole time. Best poutine too!
