After you have checked out various menus along the streets of Old Quebec, & can't decide. Make your way to Cafe Baude. You will not be disappointed. We ate there twice while visiting. The grilled ham & cheese & onion soup, where exceptional. The chicken club sandwich was cooked to perfectio. The French toast satisfied my morning crave for a balanced sweetness. My gal enjoyed the country omelet. All washed down with a delicious cup of coffee. All served by a very pleasant staff. Don't miss this piece of food paradise.

We had a wonderful meal at this charming restaurant. The staff was excellent, & Joe, the manager, clearly knows what he's doing. I was thrilled to finally find a place in Quebec that could make a proper French Martini-& it was perfect. The onion soup was the best I've ever had, & the pea soup was equally delicious. The bruschetta was fresh & flavorful, & our pizza was outstanding. Great food, great drinks, & a great staff. If we lived nearby, we'd be regulars!

My husband & I went in to Cafe Buade for our first Croque monsieur/madams while in Quebec City. They were amazing! & beside the food being great, the wait staff was outstanding. We were served by Joe & Caroline, who were so nice & even helped me a little with my rusty French. & Caroline had me laughing out loud! We ended up having a great time at lunch! I would highly recommend this restaurant!

One of our very favourite restaurants in Old Quebec!! Joe (the manager) could not have been more accommodating! He was patient & went above & beyond to ensure we had the best dining experience. Our waitress Lu-Ann was also wonderful & so sweet! Food was amazing (french onion soup, pizza & pasta all delicious) & highly recommend the Queen Elizabeth cake for dessert!
