Un très beau restaurant situé au bord du fleuve avec une vue splendide. L'entrée verrine de tomates était très ordinaire. Le gratin de fruits de mer avait très bon goût, mais était davantage une bisque qu'un gratin. Le service est excellent

L'ajout du croissant, un plus différent & apprécié.
Le service avec Johanne & sa consoeur dynamique, ça donne envie de revenir.
Dans le solarium avec la vue, le fleuve & le soleil tout était là pour un beau moment!

Le Café du Monde has an excellent reputation for several reasons! Our early supper at the Café was to celebrate an anniversary. The staff were courteous & friendly, as well as very knowledgeable. We started with gin tastings - 3 Québec gins, which were incredibly refreshing. Our entrées, pieuvre & tapenade aux olives & saumon tartare were exceptional!! So succulent & delicious. The mains were very good, but the appetizers were the star of the show! The rosé suggested with the main course was on point. Marie L. our server was professional & swift. Our water was refilled without even our noticing (it was a very hot day). The view of the fleuve was beautiful. Would highly recommend this as a stop while meandering the Old Port in Québec!
