Visiting Quebec City on a rainy Sunday & walked down for a late breakfast. Food was very good & the service was also very good. When visiting next, we will definitely stop again, hopefully on a nicer day to enjoy the river views.

Slow service, food was mediocre, nice view, a bit overpriced! We had the scallops & duck confit. Duck was very dry & seafood risotto was very salty.

The view on the terrace is splendid but you will roast in the sun like a Tuscan tomato unless you get one of the few umbrellas. The service is rushed but somewhat acceptable. The food is average tourist destination fare. Nothing outstanding but fine. The mimosas were disappointing. The coffees were also average. It is very busy & noisy but I think it comes with the charm.of bistros. The decoration is cute.

Love dining by the port. Beautiful views & yummy food. It was a great place for brunch. Their seafood chowder & salmon tartare was amazing! Definitely recommend trying!

The breakfast we had here was my favourite meal of the trip. Our server was funny, & the waterfront view from the patio was awesome. Great spot to watch sailboats, cruise ships, & the Quebec-Levis ferry pass by. The 1/2 litre mimosas were a great deal, it amounted to about 4 glasses. I enjoyed the Ile d'Orlean crepe, the portion sizes were just right.

You go there for the view. The food is average. Will say though the latté was super nice.

Excellent view by the river. Good lunch options & extensive alcohol menu. The waiters are attentive. The atmosphere is great. Free parking for 2 hours is also great.

Just disappointed we didn't get a table with a view on the river as requested when reserving. I understand this is accommodated depending on how busy it is but it wasn't when we were there.
