Stumbled in here on a rainy Tuesday afternoon after a long walk through the old city, & the place immediately felt like exactly what a good cafe should be. The cappuccino was properly made, none of that over-extracted bitterness you find in tourist-trap spots nearby, & the croque-monsieur that came out of the kitchen was genuinely satisfying. Staff were attentive without hovering, refilling my water without being asked, which is a small thing but tells you a lot about how a place is run. If you find yourself near the Old Port on a grey afternoon, this is where you want to be sitting.

Hamburgers overcooked & dry. French onion soup only okay. The charcuterie board was wonderful, as was my sidecar. Waitress was very conscientious, & comped my soup.

Excellent service & très rapide. Les déjeuners sont excellents. Seul bémol très bruyant.

Nous sommes venus un dimanche pour souper & profiter du menu moules-frites à volonté. Bien que notre serveur était très gentil & dévoué, un serveur de plus en salle aurait amélioré largement la qualité du service. Nous devions attendre & demander pour tout: eau, serviettes de table additionnelles, j'ai mené dû me lever & suivre notre serveur pour obtenir notre facture.

Du côté nourriture le premier service de moules n'était pas chaud à point & le deuxième était parfait. Je pense que le premier service est demeuré en attente un peu trop longtemps avant de nous être apporté.

Ces commentaires se veulent constructifs & ne nous empêcheront pas de retourner à votre établissement dans lequel nous vivons généralement de très beaux & bons expériences

Très bien situé dans le vieux-port de Québec. À l'intérieur il y avait beaucoup de monde mais le service c'est très bien déroulé. On était 16 personnes & le service a été parfait. Tout le monde était satisfaits de la nourriture. Bonne portions généreuses & saveurs très bien. Il faut aller essayer la terrasse l'été aussi

Bel accueil, notre serveuse a bien répondu à nos interrogations. Menu diversifié & cela a bien répondu à nos attentes. Très belle soirée en compagnie de bons amis avec une vue sur le St-Laurent
