L'un des meilleurs restaurant à Québec !! Notre serveur Antoine a su mettre l'ambiance, sa connaissance de la carte des vins & des plats montrent son professionnalisme. La qualité des produits servis est top! Malgré son emplacement dans un lieu touristique, le chef change son menu pour se démarquer & servir des plats de qualités. Le service est de super & rapide. Je recommande ce restaurant à 100%.

We went in today for a brunch, heard a lot of great things about it, & made a reservation a few days prior. The food was wonderful, one of the most interesting in our eight meals in Quebec City. However, the service was not a match with such quality of food. For most of the times I give 15%-20% tips & sometimes 25% for truly exceptional services (not a ton but a normal range). I gave 5% today because of the following reasons: 1. The server who is designated to serve our table only stopped by three times throughout our 70-minute meal: two times at the time of ordering & one at the time of paying the bill. It's understandable if the restaurant is so packed & busy, but 50% of tables were empty at the time we left. Additionally, in contrast, he visited the table next to us much more frequently. For example, we saw him purposely came over to that table after the food the served by a different server & asked if they need anything & wish them bon appetit. 2. We asked for some bread when another waitress delivered the food. She was very nice, but the bread didn't come until the second request. She was very professional & apologized for the delay & brought the bread not soon after. 3. We ordered all food to share. Another waiter who delivered our food was very kind to ask if we would like some plates to share the food. However, the plates never came. 4. We were not happy with the service of the waiter who was supposed to serve us & gave 5%. When we entered the tip amount on the POS machine, he stared at what we entered & sarcastically did we know we only tipped 5% & question us if this is normal. We replied by saying "the food is wonderful but the service was okay". Instead of asking what we are not happy about, he sarcastically said at this point, we should've just not tip. & then he stared at us & said thank you twice very loudly & completely stopped us from sharing why we are not happy with the service. When we were pushing the door to exit, he said once more thank you so loud & clear behind us with a sarcastic tone. So we ended up writing our situation & feelings here. Overall, I would recommend the restaurant if you are looking for great local food. But I would warn those who expect or look for the same quality of service as their food.

Boreal inspired food, fine diing without the pretentious atmosphere. Enjoyable supper but very busy even in the middle of the week. Reservations recommended.

Recommend the beef cheek which is very soft & the side dish is beetroot & other veggie. It gives a good balance between protein & fibre. Salad & soup both are good too. Service is good & attentive. It's efficient to have my lunch get ready. Not much waiting overall. Will visit again when coming to Quebec

Loved everything! The restaurant was able to accommodate us when we requested a seat ahead of our reservation time, the Goose Breast appetizer was AMAZING, we loved the wine recommendation, the Beef Cheek entree was incredible (it's obvious why it's been on the menu for 12 years), & the duck was delightful. We ended with the creme brûlée, which was delicious & not too sweet, & a shot of espresso. 10/10 would recommend, & hope to be back next time we're in Quebec City!
