We absolutely loved the vibe of this cafe During our trip to Montreal, we decided to spend one day exploring Quebec City, & we're so glad we stopped here to take a break. It turned out to be one of the highlights of our day.
The poutine was the best I've ever had! I even loved the little disposable hand towels in the restroom-such a thoughtful touch The whole place has a unique & special atmosphere
A special thank you to Alina for her amazing service We were in a hurry because we had more places to visit, & she made sure our order was prepared as quickly as possible. She even let us charge our phones & was incredibly warm, friendly, & welcoming throughout our visit. She truly made our experience even more memorable. We would definitely come back!

Yesterday we were on a one day tour for Quebec .
I think a perfect one ,would finish with a good food ,but it didn't happened.
We had Salmon & Burger.Salmon was pretty good but small peace of salmon. Burger was trash . Burned ,dry & not fresh.
I can't imagine that a chef ,made it.
They didn't fill your glass of water .
They politely apologized to us & offered ,free dessert but we didn't have enough time.

Really liked the place. Starting with an excellent service & atmosphere & finishing with the food. We took a plate of Boeuf Bourguignon & a poutine Buade. Both were great. Really amazing food.
On top, the oldest cafe in the city.
Totally recommend to visit.

Consciente qu'il y a la construction qui nuit a la circulation dans ce Restaurant Café, très déçu ou est le temps où nous les travailleurs du Château dans les années 90 & même récemment, pouvions manger un bon steak plusieurs onces offert sur le menu, de verre de vin sans poussières, de bolognaise avec fromage râpé pas du Craft qui pue & un panier de pain quelques croûtons abandonnés la vieille sur le comptoir ça goûtait le vieux pain brk 40$, un verre vin blanc & un bolognaise & la portion minimal pas pire le goût de la sauce 7 sur 10, très déçu du service, passait très vite a la table pourtant la cafétéria était pas achalandé pour un midi, s'est octroyé un 20%de la facture d'elle même plus jamais & nos boss non plus:(

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.
