Absolutely delicious food & 5 star service. Nicest staff & the chef even came out to check on us & how we liked the food. A total hidden gem in old Quebec city & a must. Ordered the duck wings, escargo (snails) & both were a hit. The cheeses they use are for those who appreciate deep flavors

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!

J'y suis allé 2 fois, le grilled cheese / soupe de tomates, ça allait. À ma 2e visite j'ai pris une pizza qui m'est arrivé pas assez cuite.

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.

We had lunch. Wonderful full service, patient & flexible with combining menu items. The food was wonderful, rich, buttery, creamy textures that were perfect, cheese dishes braised wonderfully. The price value was excellent for the location, much less than all the other area restaurants. I would go back every trip to Quebec. Merci beaucoup!

We were seated quickly, our server was friendly, & our orders taken promptly. The place was too loud by half. The food (poutine & a grilled cheese sandwich with tomato soup, & side salad) took too long to come out, was not hot when it arrived, & was rather lack luster. Plain white toast, warmish soup, & an under dressed store bought salad kit. The poutine was… Eh. Overall the meal was cheap & still not worth what we paid.

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.

By far the best tomato soup I ever had. Highly recommended with the grilled cheese sandwich. This is a good, wholesome food restaurant. Well portioned meals. Prices are very good. Joe & our server were very polite & welcoming. Great restaurant atmosphere too. If you want a fancy dining experience, go elsewhere. If you want good food, attentive staff, in a warm atmosphere, & at a fair price, this is your place.
