This is 100 yr old restaurant is our top choice in Quebec city. The beef bourgeois is definitely the best anywhere! Served with homemade tomatoe soup, or seafood linguine with their incredible ceasar salad is our favorite.

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 were walking thru Old Town Quebec late evening yesterday looking for a place for the four of us to have dinner. We were not looking for fancy high end dining that comes in at $100 per person. We just wanted good food & service after a very long day of site seeing.

We came across Cafe Buade, looked at the menu on the wall outside & all agreed it looked great! We walked in & asked if it was too late to be seated for dinner (we were uncertain of the hours & would never walk in for dinner if a restaurant was closing in a half hour or so). They told us we were fine & they'd be happy to seat us.

We were blown away throughout our dining experience! My apologies for no pictures, but among the four of us we ordered Escargot, a Garden Salad, two different Pasta Dishes, Pea Soup, a Cheeseburger, Crème Brûlée, Cheesecake & Queen Elizabeth Cake along with drinks & coffees at the end with dessert. Each & every dish was absolutely delicious! The pasta sauce on my dish was amazing. In fact we liked the food here so much we're going back for lunch tomorrow during our final pass through old town.

I would be remiss if I didn't include the high level of service we received from the waitress, Stephanie. She was extremely attentive while not being'too much'. She was pleasant, welcoming & funny & gave zero indication of the time getting late when we ordered dessert. The delivery of our courses was spot on & she truly helped make the perfect end to a great day.

If you think this review is too good to be authentic you are way off base. We dine out at a lot of different places in our travels & I have written many reviews both good & not so good. Though human nature has it that we are quicker to write a bad review than a good one, I have always believed if a restaurant truly stands out they deserve the recognition for it. Cafe Buade stands out. Go there & you'll find out for yourself.

What an excellent meal! We stopped by for dinner late, around 8, because of their beer & poutine deal. They seated us right away. We ordered the beer & poutine (only $15!) & also a garden salad & burger. Everything was excellent! The poutine was very fresh & flavorful. The cheese curds squeaked, as they should. The salad, too, was very fresh & had these amazing marinated tomatoes on top. The burger was perfectly cooked & juicy. The prices were the most reasonable that we encountered in Quebec, & the service was friendly & attentive.

Visited the restaurant for lunch on August 23rd with friends from California. Location is great - next ro Notre Dam Church in historic OLD Quebec. It's centrally located in the city walking distance from Fairmount Chateau Frontenac.
The service & food were excellent. Our waitress ANAHI was very professional & courteous. She advised us about the menu items what to choose based on our taste. The food included salad pasta & pizza. It was freshly made & cooked to perfection. Highly recommended for the ambience & good value for money. Dessert was Creme Bule to top off.

My wife & I ate here with the intentions of a simple dinner ( Salad & Pizza) We did a quick Google review with the average of 3.5, this should have been a clue... The mgr met us on the sidewalk, & escorted us in. The waiter was nice & very attentive.... The meal was sub-standard . For $30 price tag, we received a 12' pizza & a very small salad. Drinks & salad was extra. The Pizza was bland at best, ( the dough was as if it came from another source, tomato sauce was tasteless , minimal toppings . Expensive & bland food. Go elsewhere with all the restaurants in the area.
