Got pulled in by the all you can eat poutine. I switched to the poutine with a beer which seemed like a good choice. Truth be told, I would not have wanted all you can eat of the plain poutine because it really was underwhelming. I would have regretted not getting the deluxe poutine but the portions were quite small for poutine. The white lager was very good though.

Malgré l'affluence dans le vieux Québec dû au festival d'été, nous avons été super bien accueilli & servi. Les portions étaient adéquates & succulentes.

Cadre sympathique, nous avons pris des pâtes carbonara ainsi que des poutines & du poisson.
Nous sommes presque tous tombés malade…

Nous avons passé un agréable moment bien que le marketing autour de la poutine illimité est assez douteux & peu clair pour ceux qui ne sont pas habitués. Il faut d'abord payé 15 dollars , ce qui semble très peu rentable étant donné que c'est très gras . Ajoutons à cela qu'une serveuse blonde nous à ouvertement dit «  oui vous pouvez commander votre poutine c'est gratuit avec votre plat » sans aucune précision supplémentaire, pour nous dire au moment du paiement que «  rien n'est gratuit dans la vie » ….. La poutine nous as été finalement retiré mais faites attention!
Mise à part cette expérience le service est agréable & la nourriture assez bonne .

We visited on Saturday & thoroughly enjoyed our meals. I had the Shrimp & Seafood Gratin (Coquilles de fruits de mer) & it was just as hearty & comforting as I had hoped.

I really appreciated that there were options for our picky teenager as well such as pizza & sandwiches. For him, it's pizza, burger, repeat.

Great value with prix fixe menu option as well which include a soup & dessert with your choice of 4 mains.

There is construction on Rue de Buade in front of the restaurant. Do not let this deter you.
