We absolutely loved the vibe of this cafe During our trip to Montreal, we decided to spend one day exploring Quebec City, & we're so glad we stopped here to take a break. It turned out to be one of the highlights of our day.
The poutine was the best I've ever had! I even loved the little disposable hand towels in the restroom-such a thoughtful touch The whole place has a unique & special atmosphere
A special thank you to Alina for her amazing service We were in a hurry because we had more places to visit, & she made sure our order was prepared as quickly as possible. She even let us charge our phones & was incredibly warm, friendly, & welcoming throughout our visit. She truly made our experience even more memorable. We would definitely come back!

Really liked the place. Starting with an excellent service & atmosphere & finishing with the food. We took a plate of Boeuf Bourguignon & a poutine Buade. Both were great. Really amazing food.
On top, the oldest cafe in the city.
Totally recommend to visit.

Got pulled in by the all you can eat poutine. I switched to the poutine with a beer which seemed like a good choice. Truth be told, I would not have wanted all you can eat of the plain poutine because it really was underwhelming. I would have regretted not getting the deluxe poutine but the portions were quite small for poutine. The white lager was very good though.

Cadre sympathique, nous avons pris des pâtes carbonara ainsi que des poutines & du poisson.
Nous sommes presque tous tombés malade…

Nous avons passé un agréable moment bien que le marketing autour de la poutine illimité est assez douteux & peu clair pour ceux qui ne sont pas habitués. Il faut d'abord payé 15 dollars , ce qui semble très peu rentable étant donné que c'est très gras . Ajoutons à cela qu'une serveuse blonde nous à ouvertement dit «  oui vous pouvez commander votre poutine c'est gratuit avec votre plat » sans aucune précision supplémentaire, pour nous dire au moment du paiement que «  rien n'est gratuit dans la vie » ….. La poutine nous as été finalement retiré mais faites attention!
Mise à part cette expérience le service est agréable & la nourriture assez bonne .

The staff were so nice & welcoming from beginning to end. The chocolate cake, Sangrias, poutine & the cheesecake were fabulous. Megan & Camille made us feel like part of the family. Recommend going there for all meals & don't let the nearby construction detour you. Thanks for making our visit to Quebec City so memorable. Denise & Sheryl from Vancouver Island , British Columbia.

Une équipe chaleureuse & très agréable.
Nous y avons été pour l'offre une poutine + une bière à 15$, c'était une affaire.
La poutine était très bonne, à mon sens l'une des meilleure que j'ai mangé (je ne suis pas une professionnelle)
