We weren't looking for a'big' breakfast this morning. This was just the right spot! We shared a slice of quiche Lorraine & a croissant. The Americano style coffee were on point! Even with my high school level French, I was happy to connect the whole transaction in the local tongue. Happy traveler!!!

This café has multiple outlets but the one at Place Royale offers an amazing view if you're lucky enough to grab a window seat. Despite being a very busy café, the service was excellent. The food was decent overall - I wasn't particularly impressed with the boule framboises & chocolate, chocolate & almond croissant, or the hot chocolate. However, thoroughly enjoyed the date square, pecan pie, carrot cake, & macarons. During the holidays, it can be challenging to find a seat, but if you manage to snag one by the window, it's well worth it. Can go back only for the view.
if you are at Royale Place, you must have coffee here. sitting outside, having coffee or a croissant, viewing the oldest church in North America, & feeling like you went back by at least 100 years... what a feeling. This location is a must for having a coffee during a romantic walk in Petit Champlain. You can sit on the terrace in the heart of Place-Royale, where Quebec City was founded. We ordered a pistachio Donut, Crepe, & coffee. Man, this donut- nothing I ever had... too good. I ordered more to have it for dessert after dinner. This casual & attractive café right on the corner of scenic Place Royale is a great place to stop for an afternoon pick-me-up, be it coffee or various indulgent sweets. For a light lunch, there are yummy sandwiches, quiches, & soups. There are other branches elsewhere in the city that are just as good, just not as scenic as this.
Super cute little spot in the palace royale square. That's where the charm ends- the service was so so. The lattes were okay (much better our first day at Les Cafes du Soleil). Everyone around us got plates & actual mugs while we got paper bags & to go cups. That's fine but the chocolate croissant was a joke (see photo). The apple turnover was good but so cold- all the food was very cold. I would not recommend or go back.
Delicious breakfast & wonderful outdoor view at Place Royale. Got on a cruise ship immediately following. Once onboard, even though there is endless food, we opted to debark & walked backed to Cafe La Maison for a second chocolate almond croissant. Absolutely delish! Friendly staff. Looking forward to returning.
