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.

Cafe Buade was a truly great find during our recent visit to Quebec City. It is not only a pleasantly hidden respite place but offered great tasting food, excellent & warm service, & peaceful ambiance. We had an onion soup which strongly rivaled some of the best soups we have had in France. We also had a Caesar salad which was top notch & big enough to share. My wife had nice wine with a healthy pour, unlike other places where we dined during our stay. Alina was a terrific server, very pleasant, helpful, & professional. Kudos & touché Cafe Buade.

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!

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.

Very friendly & efficient staff. My wife had the club house & I had the all dressed home made pizza. We shared the onion soup. All were delicious but the onion soup was beyond delicious.
