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!

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.

Grabbed a window seat Friday evening & the view of Rue du Trésor lit up with all the street artists was worth it alone. Ordered the tourtière with a café au lait & it hit the spot after walking around Old Quebec all day. Our server was patient with my rusty French & even pointed out a good angle for photos once the lamps came on. Cozy, old world atmosphere, & clearly one of the oldest cafes in the city for good reason.

Our dinner at Café Buade was absolutely memorable - the food was top notch from start to finish. The French onion soup was rich & deeply flavorful, easily one of the best we've ever had. The beef was incredibly tender & juicy, melting in the mouth with every bite. My salmon was cooked perfectly & seasoned just right. To finish, the apple pie paired beautifully with vanilla ice cream, a well-balanced & comforting dessert. On top of the outstanding food, the service was amazing - attentive, friendly, & made our first night in Québec truly special.

We went for our Christmas dinner & thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience! All the staff were very friendly & the food was magnificent! For an appetizer, we had the tomato soup & the French onion soup; both were very tasty. We had the beef bourguignon & it melted in our mouths! Would definitely return!
