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.

Experience Déjeuner très décevante. Nourriture correcte, sans plus. Service carrément désagréable. Serveuse froide (qui revenait de vacances), expéditive & impatiente. Pas de sourire sauf pour son vieux client habitué à côté de nous. Sèche dans sa façon de nous parler, mais pourquoi? On était tout contents d'aller déjeuner à ce resto pendant notre semaine de vacances, on était de bonne humeur. J'aurais bien aimé avoir un 2e café mais elle n'est jamais repassée pendant le repas, même si on était juste devant le bar. Une fois les assiettes terminées elle nous lance'autre chose?!' & comme on doit quitter je dis non merci & elle met la facture qu'elle avait dans la main sur la table. WOW par chance qu'on ne voulait pas autre chose?
Bref, on y retournera pas.
Toutefois le décor & l'ambiance du resto est superbe. Quel dommage!

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.

Café Krieghoff, is a wonderful little boutique hotel centrally located with a decent price for the location. After a long drive & late work shift the night before I slept great a solid 9 hours bed was very comfortable. We awoke the next morning to go downstairs to a great breakfast the homemade bagel with melted Swiss cheese & house jam was amazing with the Americano coffee. Lounge area was great also nice clean bathroom/shower. Also appreciated the books in the lounge & room nice to have some historical references of the area.

This is one of my favourite cafés I visit everytime I'm in Quebec City! Awesome coffee, great food, & a wonderful presence that makes every meal an experience. & minutes away from the Plains D'Abraham. June 2024 update: Still the same experience which in itself is amazing. Many places lose their edge or have closed. Café Krieghoff is still busier than ever & going strong. Great ambiance on the sidewalk patio. January 2025 update: I had an amazing cappuccino from my favourite café this afternoon! I love the ambiance & the care they put into what they do. Always highly recommended if you're in Québec City.
