Nouvelle administration & vraiment pas déçue. J'ai pour habitude d'y manger les pâtes aux fruits de mer. Résultat, beaucoup plus de fruits de mer qu'il n'y en avait pas auparavant, ce qui a rendu mon mets plus goûteux encore.
Des serveurs & serveuses dédiés à leurs clients (le mien, Gabriel il s'appelle, ne le perdez pas, il aime & travaille très bien son métier)

De plus, j'apprécie énormément cette arrivée de serviettes en tissu. Une touche d'élégance & d'efficacité dans un matériel plus que bienvenu pour les clients. Bravo!

C'est certain que je vais y retourner souvent & faire la recommandation à mon entourage.

Excellent service. Everyone was extremely attentive. Food was, I dare to say, even better. The crepes were among the best I've had. Atmosphere was much better than I expected. They capture the feeling of an old restaurant perfectly, but they don't go overboard. It's the perfect balance. 10/10, I would a 100% recommend this place to anyone.

We visited for dinner, had the caesar salad, garden salad (highly recommend) & two spaghetti bolognese. The food took a long time to arrive but that seems to be typical for the area, so prepare to be patient. The food was delicious, server & manager both warm & welcoming. We will revisit the next time we are in Quebec. Oh & the price was very fair!

We came for dinner by chance & at a rather late hour (around 8:45 pm). We decided to eat here - the oldest restaurant in Quebec! The pizza (all dress) was very tasty - the tomato base is rich & the pizza crust is crispy on the edge & chewy on the inside. We also ordered the rib steak - this was THE BEST. It was flavourful (well seasoned & cooked to perfection). I loved this the best! The seafood linguine was my next favourite. The sauce was not too rich & the clam added to the flavour of the sauce. The service was impeccable: attentive & friendly. Highly recommend this restaurant.
