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.

Highly recommend their 24 hour beef bourguignon. Incredibly tender, the meat breaks apart easily & juicy. Definitely a must try!

Also had a tasty apple pie & pea soup. But, the beef stole the show!

Le service rattrape une nourriture décevante,
Je ne suis pas un gros mangeur mais la quantité servie pour les pâtes carbonara était ridicule. Les pâtes n'étaient pas assez cuites, & cela à pris 45 min pour arriver..
Les pâtes à la morue étaient correctes, la sauce était bonne mais le poisson de qualité très moyenne. Quantité de pâtes très réduite aussi, mais au moins il y avait des légumes...
Heureusement le service est +++, on nous a offert un super bon dessert en compensation.
Je recommanderai plus cet endroit pour un déjeuner le matin, ou une boisson chaude avec une bonne pâtisserie, que pour un repas à midi (du moins les pâtes).
