We visited on Saturday & thoroughly enjoyed our meals. I had the Shrimp & Seafood Gratin (Coquilles de fruits de mer) & it was just as hearty & comforting as I had hoped.

I really appreciated that there were options for our picky teenager as well such as pizza & sandwiches. For him, it's pizza, burger, repeat.

Great value with prix fixe menu option as well which include a soup & dessert with your choice of 4 mains.

There is construction on Rue de Buade in front of the restaurant. Do not let this deter you.

Lors de notre passage, le restaurant est complet.
Le service est plutôt lent.
Nous avons demandé au serveur de nous apportez du beurre, il n'est jamais arrivé. Il a fallu demander 2 fois à la serveuse pour avoir du beurre & nous avons dû lui rappeler que nous attendions toujours une bière.
La pizza est bien ordinaire & très dispendieuse pour un petit format : pizza buade 23$ & pizza grec 18$.
Nous n'avons pas été impressionnés.

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.

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!
