My wife & I ordered the salmon. It was the best Atlantic salmon I have ever had. Very nice & attentive staff. Very enjoyable experience.

We arrived early for our lunch reservation & you seated us right away. Service was attentive, not intrusive. Bathroom situation was awkward-outside the restaurant in the public shopping area & required a token to open the door.

What an excellent meal! We stopped by for dinner late, around 8, because of their beer & poutine deal. They seated us right away. We ordered the beer & poutine (only $15!) & also a garden salad & burger. Everything was excellent! The poutine was very fresh & flavorful. The cheese curds squeaked, as they should. The salad, too, was very fresh & had these amazing marinated tomatoes on top. The burger was perfectly cooked & juicy. The prices were the most reasonable that we encountered in Quebec, & the service was friendly & attentive.

This is the best restaurant in downtown Quebec City with some of the best food I've ever had. If you want to try authentic pizza & pasta, this is an absolute must-visit. The breakfast was outstanding - I enjoyed three meals here (breakfast, lunch, & dinner), & every single one was exceptional. The staff were warm, attentive, & truly made the experience memorable. This place definitely deserves a five-star review. A must-visit whenever you're in Quebec City!

Excellent service. Everyone was extremely attentive. Food was, I dare to say, even better. The crepes were among the best I've had. Atmosphere was much better than I expected. They capture the feeling of an old restaurant perfectly, but they don't go overboard. It's the perfect balance. 10/10, I would a 100% recommend this place to anyone.

My wife & I ate here with the intentions of a simple dinner ( Salad & Pizza) We did a quick Google review with the average of 3.5, this should have been a clue... The mgr met us on the sidewalk, & escorted us in. The waiter was nice & very attentive.... The meal was sub-standard . For $30 price tag, we received a 12' pizza & a very small salad. Drinks & salad was extra. The Pizza was bland at best, ( the dough was as if it came from another source, tomato sauce was tasteless , minimal toppings . Expensive & bland food. Go elsewhere with all the restaurants in the area.

We came for dinner by chance & at a rather late hour (around 8:45 pm). We decided to eat here - the oldest restaurant in Quebec! The pizza (all dress) was very tasty - the tomato base is rich & the pizza crust is crispy on the edge & chewy on the inside. We also ordered the rib steak - this was THE BEST. It was flavourful (well seasoned & cooked to perfection). I loved this the best! The seafood linguine was my next favourite. The sauce was not too rich & the clam added to the flavour of the sauce. The service was impeccable: attentive & friendly. Highly recommend this restaurant.
