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!

The restaurant was recently bought & re-opened. We went for dinner & ordered -
Mediterranean pizza, Grilled Chicken Lemon dish, Chicken Pesto pizza & some soups as appetizers.
Everything we ate was good. Loved the ambience, vibe & the hospitality at the restaurant.
We did not have a reservation but the manager, Joe was very kind & accomodated in just a few minutes. The server, Anahi was very lovely & prompt.
We give a 4.5/5 to the reataurant.
We will come back for sure.

Visited the restaurant for lunch on August 23rd with friends from California. Location is great - next ro Notre Dam Church in historic OLD Quebec. It's centrally located in the city walking distance from Fairmount Chateau Frontenac.
The service & food were excellent. Our waitress ANAHI was very professional & courteous. She advised us about the menu items what to choose based on our taste. The food included salad pasta & pizza. It was freshly made & cooked to perfection. Highly recommended for the ambience & good value for money. Dessert was Creme Bule to top off.

This is the best restaurant in downtown Quebec City with some of the best food I've ever had. If you want to try authentic pizza & pasta, this is an absolute must-visit. The breakfast was outstanding - I enjoyed three meals here (breakfast, lunch, & dinner), & every single one was exceptional. The staff were warm, attentive, & truly made the experience memorable. This place definitely deserves a five-star review. A must-visit whenever you're in Quebec City!

Staff were polite, professional & unduly apologetic in course-correcting with us after half our group unwittingly ordered off a list of weekday specials on a weekend morning.

Food was great, & the pizza crust in particular is something special.

Dinner d'été en famille. Très bonne ambiance. Le personnel est excellent. La cuisine est bonne.
Un peu cher dans l'absolu, les pizzas auraient pu être un poil plus grandes. Mais au coeur du vieux Québec ça reste correct & surtout aucune mauvaise surprise.

My wife & I ate here with the intentions of a simple dinner ( Salad & Pizza) We did a quick Google review with the average of 3.5, this should have been a clue... The mgr met us on the sidewalk, & escorted us in. The waiter was nice & very attentive.... The meal was sub-standard . For $30 price tag, we received a 12' pizza & a very small salad. Drinks & salad was extra. The Pizza was bland at best, ( the dough was as if it came from another source, tomato sauce was tasteless , minimal toppings . Expensive & bland food. Go elsewhere with all the restaurants in the area.
