Amazing food. We kept on going back to try different dishes on the menu. Breakfast, lunch & dinner. Quality was consistent & everything we ate was delicious in every aspect. Highly recommended.

We visited for dinner, had the caesar salad, garden salad (highly recommend) & two spaghetti bolognese. The food took a long time to arrive but that seems to be typical for the area, so prepare to be patient. The food was delicious, server & manager both warm & welcoming. We will revisit the next time we are in Quebec. Oh & the price was very fair!

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.

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!
