This is a great place to stay, the location is perfect. It's a short walk to downtown Quebec City & the local parks. Plenty to do & see in the area. The cafe itself is wonderful too & serves a great French onion soup. Some rooms have separate bathrooms so be sure to check that when booking. The water pressure in the shower definitely needs improvement & the AC in the room didn't work one night. Other than that the place was great! Its location & the cafe are the real selling points. There's also a good parking garage right down the street.

Had the duck poutine & French onion soup at the cafe & they were both great, especially the soup! Great service, cozy atmosphere, & cool artwork for sale as the table toppers.

Petit souper en amoureux avant d'aller au Grand Théâtre de Québec. Tout a été parfait; ambiance cozy, nourriture très bonne à un prix raisonnable, service hors pair. Le tout à proximité de la salle de spectacle. Je recommande sans hésiter.

Quelle belle découverte! Le repas était vraiment excellent! J'ai pris la quiche du jour qui était vraiment super avec la soupe aux poids toute aussi excellente. Le dessert, une tarte au sucre, a terminé ce repas d'une excellente façon accompagné d'un très bon allongé! Tout cela avec un service irréprochable! L'ambiance était très chaleureux. J'y retournerai assurément pour faire découvrir cet endroit à des amis!
