Nice restaurant with quick & friendly service. The ambiance is relaxing & charming. I can see how it's in service for 100 years. Enjoyable experience in the heart of old Quebec City.

Dined at Cafe Buade for dinner after 5 days in Quebec City & Old Quebec - the best food we had during our stay. The service was great & they went above & beyond. Also the most affordable.

Lors de notre passage, le restaurant est complet.
Le service est plutôt lent.
Nous avons demandé au serveur de nous apportez du beurre, il n'est jamais arrivé. Il a fallu demander 2 fois à la serveuse pour avoir du beurre & nous avons dû lui rappeler que nous attendions toujours une bière.
La pizza est bien ordinaire & très dispendieuse pour un petit format : pizza buade 23$ & pizza grec 18$.
Nous n'avons pas été impressionnés.

We were walking thru Old Town Quebec late evening yesterday looking for a place for the four of us to have dinner. We were not looking for fancy high end dining that comes in at $100 per person. We just wanted good food & service after a very long day of site seeing.

We came across Cafe Buade, looked at the menu on the wall outside & all agreed it looked great! We walked in & asked if it was too late to be seated for dinner (we were uncertain of the hours & would never walk in for dinner if a restaurant was closing in a half hour or so). They told us we were fine & they'd be happy to seat us.

We were blown away throughout our dining experience! My apologies for no pictures, but among the four of us we ordered Escargot, a Garden Salad, two different Pasta Dishes, Pea Soup, a Cheeseburger, Crème Brûlée, Cheesecake & Queen Elizabeth Cake along with drinks & coffees at the end with dessert. Each & every dish was absolutely delicious! The pasta sauce on my dish was amazing. In fact we liked the food here so much we're going back for lunch tomorrow during our final pass through old town.

I would be remiss if I didn't include the high level of service we received from the waitress, Stephanie. She was extremely attentive while not being'too much'. She was pleasant, welcoming & funny & gave zero indication of the time getting late when we ordered dessert. The delivery of our courses was spot on & she truly helped make the perfect end to a great day.

If you think this review is too good to be authentic you are way off base. We dine out at a lot of different places in our travels & I have written many reviews both good & not so good. Though human nature has it that we are quicker to write a bad review than a good one, I have always believed if a restaurant truly stands out they deserve the recognition for it. Cafe Buade stands out. Go there & you'll find out for yourself.
