Review Summary

Overall Café Krieghoff is described as a relaxed, welcoming spot with sunlit terraces and a vibe that invites lingering, offering brunch and lunch options such as eggs benedict that many reviewers find solid to excellent, along with warm, attentive service and a charming central setting, though some guests note high prices for small portions and occasional slow service, while others highlight standout dishes like duck poutine or smoked salmon, good coffee and house made jam, and an airy, artful atmosphere that makes it easy to linger on a sunny day or during a casual meal.

Spent a lazy Sunday morning here with a couple friends last weekend & honestly it was exactly the kind of chill hangout we needed. The terrace out front is perfect for people-watching on Cartier, & we stayed way longer than planned just soaking it up. I had the eggs benedict & they were genuinely solid, not just okay-solid but actually good. If you're looking for a relaxed spot with good vibes & decent brunch food, Krieghoff delivers every time.

Cafe Krieghoff is an excellent place for breakfast, brunch or lunch. I had the traditional poutine & it was delectable. The cheese curds were real & the Demi-glaze brown gravy was very tasty. Service was expedient, but not too much. All the wait staff were friendly & most spoke English & French.

We had brunch at Kreighoff Café in Quebec City on Quebec Day, & it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was lively yet relaxed-perfect for celebrating the holiday. The service was friendly & attentive, & the staff made sure we felt right at home.

The coffee was rich & flavorful-exactly what you'd hope for to start a good brunch. The café offers both indoor seating & two terraces: one out front for people-watching & another out back for a quieter vibe.

We tried two brunch plates & both were outstanding. The Provençal omelet was savory & colorful, filled with sautéed tomatoes, garlic, onions, peppers, & zucchini. It came with home-fried potatoes that were crispy on the outside & tender on the inside, along with a slice of toast & a small portion of tangy red sauce.

The second dish was a cream cheese omelet, soft & smooth with fresh tomatoes & chives tucked inside. It was served with the same crispy potatoes & toast, plus a side of fresh fruit slices-cantaloupe & orange-for a bright, refreshing finish.

Highly recommended if you're in Quebec City & looking for a charming, satisfying brunch spot.

Le déjeuner était'correct' mais la portion était petite. Surtout tenant compte du prix très élevé, 28$ avec les taxes pour une assiette brunch, sans compter le pourboire. De plus je trouve que plusieurs éléments qui constituent normalement une assiette brunch ne s'y trouvaient pas, donc un peu cheap à ce niveau encore une fois pour le prix demandé. Le service était lui aussi correct mais sans plus. Ne faites pas l'erreur de commander un café spécialisé. Mon cappuccino était l'un des pires que j'ai bu dans ma vie. Plutôt décevant pour un endroit qui a le mot'café' dans le nom de son établissement.

Bref pour conclure je ne suis pas surpris que les 2 serveuses ne nous ont jamais demandé si tout était à notre goût même à la fin du repas. Elle semblait déjà savoir que la nourriture y est très ordinaire.

J'ai adoré ce lieu, je suis allé pour un brunch avec des amis. C'est un café très cute avec une belle ambiance, parfait entre amis ou avec une date. Le service était excellent. J'ai pris le sandwich Croque Madame & c'était un délice! Je recommande fortement cet endroit.

Vraiment sympa. Un excellent service. Malgré le rush du service, les serveuses étaient dispo & patientes avec les p'tits gnomes. Le brunch était bon, les assiettes étaient de bonnes quantités & qualités. Parfait pour les enfants, excellente idée de mettre à disposition des cahiers de coloriage 😉 On reviendra!

We stopped here for a brunch on the recommendation of our local host, a very decent breakfast/brunch spot with nice vibes for sure.
