Service was excellent & food was delicious! The Beouf Bourguignon was very tender, our favorite dish of the evening. We also had the garden salad & poutine, both were good. Wonderful atmosphere, saw many locals & travelers eating there.

We stopped at Café Buade as part of a food tasting tour in Québec City & had the classic poutine. It was absolutely delicious! The fries were perfectly crispy, the cheese curds were fresh, & the gravy brought everything together. Such a great introduction to this classic Québec dish & definitely one of the highlights of our food tour. Highly recommend stopping in for the poutine!

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.
