We live in Quebec City but had never eaten at Café Buade. We had friends visiting from the US saw an ad for the restaurant. We all enjoyed our meals. Our waitress was very friendly (& had excellent English). We'll definitely go back.

Pour être tout à fait honnête, nous ne comprenons pas la note moyenne de 3,9.
Nous avons mangé ici une poutine vraiment bonne.
Le service est tout à fait correct & le lieu a une bonne ambiance.
Nous recommandons ce lieu si vous voulez passer un moment sympa & manger une poutine qui est du goût

Nice ambiance but the food was too salty. The steak was tender but I had to scarp off the top to get rid of the salt crust.
Overall not bad.

A truly amazing breakfast experience!

My boyfriend & I loved the vintage atmosphere, every little detail of the restaurant matched, even the music played, as well as the server!

The food was also to die for. We ordered the cassolette déjeuner & the crêpes aux fruits des champs, which were both devoured pretty quickly.

Service was also extremely efficient. We got our food within a few minutes of ordering!

If you're looking for a vintage breakfast/diner place to go, this is an excellent recommendation.

We stopped at Café Buade as part of a food tasting tour in Québec City & had the classic poutine. It was absolutely delicious! The fries were perfectly crispy, the cheese curds were fresh, & the gravy brought everything together. Such a great introduction to this classic Québec dish & definitely one of the highlights of our food tour. Highly recommend stopping in for the poutine!

Cafe Buade was a truly great find during our recent visit to Quebec City. It is not only a pleasantly hidden respite place but offered great tasting food, excellent & warm service, & peaceful ambiance. We had an onion soup which strongly rivaled some of the best soups we have had in France. We also had a Caesar salad which was top notch & big enough to share. My wife had nice wine with a healthy pour, unlike other places where we dined during our stay. Alina was a terrific server, very pleasant, helpful, & professional. Kudos & touché Cafe Buade.
