Une institution à Québec. Je n'étais que de passage pour une verre, mais les plats servis autour étaient appétissants! Le vin au verre était au choix du serveur; le service, tout comme le vin, était excellent & le toit de la terrasse a couronné ce moment passé à discuter en agréable compagnie, sous une pluie abondante de juillet.

Bonne nourriture, bien préparée & savoureuse. Malheureusement, l'expérience a été gâchée par le service. La serveuse était froide, peu accueillante & n'a jamais souri, ce qui a rendu l'ambiance plutôt désagréable. C'est dommage, car un accueil chaleureux fait toute la différence lors d'un déjeuner. Nous sommes repartis avec une impression mitigée malgré la qualité des plats.

Excellent brunch mais le service est un peu lent avec l'achalandage d'un dimanche matin

Great location- terrasee & streetside for people watching. Fab menu, including breakfast. Tasty food, switched on service. A little on the pricy side but was worth the extra for me.

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.

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.

On m'a chargé 30$ pour annuler une réservation alors que je souhaitais changer la date. J'ai pourtant contacté l'établissement à peine 1 minute après que ma réservation soit confirmée puisque j'ai réalisé l'erreur. Du vol pur & simple!!!!
