It was a wonderful experience at Le Café Buade, located in the heart of Old Quebec City. We were there to explore & celebrate a friend's birthday, & everything exceeded our expectations. The food was delicious, the ambiance was cozy & charming, & the experience was made even more special by the amazing staff, especially Joe, who welcomed, served, & entertained us with such warmth & genuine hospitality.

Amazing restaurant. Fantastic value for the quality of food & level of service. We returned numerous times over our weeks stay & were greeted with a'welcome back' each time. We tried many different entrees & enjoyed each one. They have many gluten free options. I was able to enjoy poutine as their gravy & hollandaise are gluten free. I would give it more stars if I could.

We ate twice here in a 4 day stay, & with all the other restaurants around that was something. We had brunch & it was casual but cozy & friendly, & they topped up our coffee frequently. Their home made soup is really fabulous, I'd say a speciality. So we went back on our last evening & our waiter Charles was so attentive & friendly without being over the top. There was nothing wrong with the local dish I chose (chips with gravy & cheese curds cannot remember it's name) but it just wasn't to my liking & I ought to not have chosen it, but my husband was delighted with his plate of food. Charles seemed very disappointed that I hadn't enjoyed it, but understood & appreciated me at least trying it. He was VERY understanding when it came to the bill regarding that which was above & beyond. Thank you so much cafe Buade, You are a gem of a place with lovely staff & food.

Service vraiment gentil & efficace.
Goût de la nourriture moyenne ..
Ambiance trop sombre & musique beaucoup trop forte.
Je n'ai pas l'intention d'y retourner & de le recommander.

1. Waiters were a 5/5. So nice & so attentive.
2. Food was a solid 3/5. We ordered tomato soup & club sandwich. Fries were very cold
3. Atmosphere was a 4/5. Tho, it was very very hot inside.
4. Service: apart from the waiters being so kind, the food did take long.
5. You need go outside to the bathroom & it's one dollar.
