Great stop for soup & salad. We had the traditional Canadian pea soup & the French onion soup; both delicious. The salads were crispy & flavorful. Don't let construction keep you away!

Encontrei por casualidade este restaurante, e posso dizer sem exagero que fois um verdadeiro achado! Com mais de cem anos de existência, só poderia ser um local incrível! Pedimos pizzas, para jantar, e que pizzas… Vale dizer que sao do tamanho de um prato, 4 fatias, serve bem uma pessoa. A minha fois de salmao defumado, uma massa fantástica, leve, macia e aerada, com um recheio sofisticado de alcaparras, sem qualquer excesso de sal!, molho béchamel, muzzarella, salmao defumado em delicadas lâminas e cebolas em rodelas finíssimas, que eu soube ao final é a número um em pedidos da casa, e meu marido pediu a de fondue de queijos, igualmente maravilhosa, com queijo de cabra entre os queijos que a compõe, um espetáculo de sabor. Para acompanhar, eu pedi uma cerveja âmbar em caneca de 300ml, pequena, daqui do Canadá, uma delícia também. Se você quiser comer bem a preço justo, pode chegar!

The food lacked flavor. I was really hoping for a tasty meal, but it fell flat for me.

I felt rushed throughout the meal as if they wanted us out as quickly as possible.

Service was excellent & food was delicious! The Beouf Bourguignon was very tender, our favorite dish of the evening. We also had the garden salad & poutine, both were good. Wonderful atmosphere, saw many locals & travelers eating there.

We stopped in on a Sunday morning after wandering around the Château Frontenac & grabbed a table by the window overlooking rue du Trésor, which honestly made the wait worth it. My friend ordered the eggs benedict & I went with a bowl of French onion soup even though it was barely 10am, & neither of us regretted it one bit. The server was patient with our group indecisiveness & kept the coffee coming without us even having to ask. It's touristy for sure, but the old world charm & the buzz of a full room on a weekend morning made it feel like the right way to start the day in the old city.
