The staff were so nice & welcoming from beginning to end. The chocolate cake, Sangrias, poutine & the cheesecake were fabulous. Megan & Camille made us feel like part of the family. Recommend going there for all meals & don't let the nearby construction detour you. Thanks for making our visit to Quebec City so memorable. Denise & Sheryl from Vancouver Island , British Columbia.

I almost didn't try this place because of the reviews, but I'm really glad I did. The food was honestly delicious. Everything we ordered was fresh, full of flavor, & really well done. The pea soup was soooo yummy.

It ended up being a great meal overall, & I'd definitely come back for the food alone. If you're on the fence, I'd say it's worth giving it a shot.

The best carbonara I have ever eaten! Just perfect: not drenched in oil, but not dry. Creamy & nice, not to salty, not bland. I can't describe it more. I am sad I did not have time to go back again & eat it, as I was only shortly visiting Quebec city. Service was also good, a lady welcomed me & served me timely. I will be back again next time in Quebec city! Merci!
