Déjeuner 28$ pour une omelette provençale qui ne goûtait rien avec mélange de tomates (type salsa acheté)a l'intérieur seulement. Quelques patates un morceau d'orange un peu sèche. Un morceau de cantaloup mou.
Très decevant

Bel endroit. Super service sympa. Nourriture excellente. La meilleure sauce hollandaise jamais goûtée wow! On goûte le beurre! Confiture maison je crois, super bonne!

Point négatif: Portion à la limite du cheap. Je payerais tellement un 3..4$ de plus pour des portions correctes/plus généreuse. Juste 16 petites patates dans mon assiette. Mon père, lui, a eu juste 1 petites tranches mince de jambon dans son oeuf bénédictine.

Je recommande, sauf pour ceux qui ont bien faim...

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.

Cet endroit existe au Québec depuis 1,977 :-) Imaginez combien de cafés & de petits-déjeuners ont été servis depuis... Ouah !

* De plus, ce café-bistrot & hôtel a reçu ce nom en hommage au talentueux peintre d'origine néerlandaise
(Cornelius Krieghoff, né à Amsterdam vers 1, 815 ).

* M. Krieghoff a décidé de s'installer au Québec vers 1,840.

*_* Si vous y êtes déjà allé, vous savez qu'il ne s'agit pas seulement de profiter de la bonne vieille convivialité & de bavarder, mais aussi de vous immerger dans l'histoire & l'art qui vous entourent .

Cela devient évident lorsque l'on se promène dans la rue Cartier à Québec :-) C'est ce qui se passe.

Remarque :-) Dans la section hôtel, vous trouverez des chambres à partir de 200 $ CAD = X jour
petit-déjeuner compris...

* L'endroit offre un accès facile aux activités du centre-ville ou aux spectacles à Place d'Abraham, facile à se déplacer à pied ou en bus sans avoir besoin d'utiliser la voiture.

* La ville de Québec offre à la fois un large éventail artistique & le plaisir de partager l'histoire & les anecdotes...

Commentaire :-) Beaucoup de personnes travaillent au café Krieghoff, mais tout cela est possible grâce au talent incomparable de la propriétaire Kathy ..

*_* Elle Transmet des Sourires & Joie avec La Sérénité & son Professionnalisme implicite & explicite d'une Bonne Chef d'entreprise .

1 = Very Nice :-) Bravo à Tous Les Employés Pour Leur Excellent Travail & Bonne Continuation''X'' L'avenir...

=====================

This establishment :-) has been around in Quebec since 1977 ;-) Could U' = Imagine How Many Coffees & Breakfasts or Drinks , Have Been Served Since Then... Wow , Very Nice Dudes !!

*_* if You've ever been there, you know it's not just about enjoying good old-fashioned conviviality & chatting, but also about immersing yourself in history & art all around there .

This becomes clear when you walk down Cartier Street in Quebec :-) That's what happens.

Note :-) In the hotel section, you can find rooms starting at $200 CAD per day, breakfast included...

The location offers easy access to activities in the city center or shows at Place d'Abraham, easy to get to on foot or by bus without having to use a car.

Comment :-) Many people work at Café Krieghoff, but all of this is possible thanks to the incomparable talent of the owner +_+ Kathy .
