Great spot for a comforting meal. I tried the French onion soup, & it was delicious, warm, & very filling. The flavour was rich, & it felt homemade. The service was friendly, & the prices were reasonable. I would definitely come back to try more from the menu.
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.
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.
I love this place! It has such a warm & welcoming atmosphere.
The staff were wonderful, & the food was absolutely amazing!
We were very happy & completely satisfied with both the service & the incredible meal.
We'll definitely be coming back whenever we visit Quebec City again.
