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!

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.

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.
