We absolutely loved the vibe of this cafe During our trip to Montreal, we decided to spend one day exploring Quebec City, & we're so glad we stopped here to take a break. It turned out to be one of the highlights of our day.
The poutine was the best I've ever had! I even loved the little disposable hand towels in the restroom-such a thoughtful touch The whole place has a unique & special atmosphere
A special thank you to Alina for her amazing service We were in a hurry because we had more places to visit, & she made sure our order was prepared as quickly as possible. She even let us charge our phones & was incredibly warm, friendly, & welcoming throughout our visit. She truly made our experience even more memorable. We would definitely come back!

Yesterday we were on a one day tour for Quebec .
I think a perfect one ,would finish with a good food ,but it didn't happened.
We had Salmon & Burger.Salmon was pretty good but small peace of salmon. Burger was trash . Burned ,dry & not fresh.
I can't imagine that a chef ,made it.
They didn't fill your glass of water .
They politely apologized to us & offered ,free dessert but we didn't have enough time.

Really liked the place. Starting with an excellent service & atmosphere & finishing with the food. We took a plate of Boeuf Bourguignon & a poutine Buade. Both were great. Really amazing food.
On top, the oldest cafe in the city.
Totally recommend to visit.

Consciente qu'il y a la construction qui nuit a la circulation dans ce Restaurant Café, très déçu ou est le temps où nous les travailleurs du Château dans les années 90 & même récemment, pouvions manger un bon steak plusieurs onces offert sur le menu, de verre de vin sans poussières, de bolognaise avec fromage râpé pas du Craft qui pue & un panier de pain quelques croûtons abandonnés la vieille sur le comptoir ça goûtait le vieux pain brk 40$, un verre vin blanc & un bolognaise & la portion minimal pas pire le goût de la sauce 7 sur 10, très déçu du service, passait très vite a la table pourtant la cafétéria était pas achalandé pour un midi, s'est octroyé un 20%de la facture d'elle même plus jamais & nos boss non plus:(

Got pulled in by the all you can eat poutine. I switched to the poutine with a beer which seemed like a good choice. Truth be told, I would not have wanted all you can eat of the plain poutine because it really was underwhelming. I would have regretted not getting the deluxe poutine but the portions were quite small for poutine. The white lager was very good though.
