Stopped in for breakfast on a quiet Sunday morning & grabbed a table by the window, which turned out to be the perfect spot to watch Avenue Cartier wake up. The croque monsieur was excellent, & the coffee kept coming without me even having to ask. Staff were warm & patient even though my French is pretty rusty, switching to English without making it weird. Definitely the kind of neighborhood spot I wish we had back home in Ontario.

Had brunch; we didn't stay at the hotel. It's obvious why the cafe is so popular. The vibe is great, the location superb, & the people watching is cool! Decent food, excellent coffee, & the lady servers are the best people ever.

Be ready for slow service but they are working very hard because it is so busy.

It is quite expensive for certain things - iced coffees for $7.25 is steep, but the coffee was very good.

Stumbled into Café Krieghoff last Saturday with a few friends after wandering around Cartier Avenue, & honestly it felt like we found a little neighborhood gem. The terrace out front was buzzing with locals soaking up the afternoon sun, which set such a relaxed, unhurried vibe right away. I ordered the eggs Benedict & they were genuinely some of the best I've had, perfectly poached with a rich, buttery hollandaise that I'm still thinking about. The staff were warm & attentive without being overbearing, & the whole place just has this effortless charm that makes you want to linger over a second coffee.

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.

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.
