On my week long vacation here in Quebec City, I have had the pleasure of eating at some really great restaurants, however this was by far the best! The owner & the staff along with his sister who waited on us, made sure we were well taken care of. The food was excellent & the atmosphere was perfectly cozy on a cold winter day. We had a late lunch & will be coming back for brunch on our last day out. This is the sort of place that you will want to come back to time & time again.

We had the Christmas 4 course dinner & it was amazing. I am a little confused by the previous reviews especially regarding the service. They had our food out quick & were constantly refilling our waters. It felt very cozy in the restaurant. Considering it was a 4 course meal they usually come out in smaller portions but it was plenty of food. My favorite part was the soup, it was very flavorful. The dessert part of the 4 course menu was okay but ultimately this was a great experience all around. I think maybe some were not prepared for the Christmas day 4 course meal only option.

FANTASTIC MEAL!! I hardly ever write reviews but this place was amazing!!! It's a hidden gem with excellent food, great staff, & cozy vibe. I had the mushroom risotto with duck confit & it is probably one of the best meals I've ever had!! Do not miss this if you are in Québec City!!!!

We stayed at an AirBnB down the street & found this fantastic cafe! We ended up eating there 3 days in a row. I was traveling with my mom & my 2 kids (aged 13 & 10). All of us were big fans of different things! The service was wonderful! The owner is there from time to time but all of his staff are beyond welcoming. The atmosphere is perfect with open windows & exposed brick walls & stained glass- it's cozy. Highly recommend to anyone visiting or just looking for a hidden gem in their city.

This was the first dinner we had in Quebec City so we were very excited to enjoy a nice cozy romantic dinner. I had ordered the only vegetarian option on the menu & it was bad. My husband's order was really good. He had ordered the duck tartare. But the evening was ruined by the waitress. She was friendly but she acted as if she was with us & kept interrupting our conversation & passing random comments on my husband. We let it pass, thinking its Quebec & people are supposed to be friendly. But it became downright outrageous & really uncomfortable when she proceeded to sit at our table (she asked us our plans for the night, we politely asked if she had any recommendations!) & then she turned her back to me & ignored me & spoke only to my husband. When it was evident he wasnt comfortable she included me in the conversation only to make a snide comment on how the place she was recommending was classy but what I was wearing would work too. Not the great cozy dinner we were expecting. You should know the difference between friendly service & crossing a line. I hate giving bad reviews but our first dinner experience in the city was kind off ruined by this.

I loved everything about this place - from the great onion soup & snails to the delightful potato/salmon entree. The cozy ambiance makes it a perfect spot for lunch.

A cozy place with tasty food. The duck leg confit that came with the waffles was delicious. The blinis with caviar also were very good (the only flaw was the plate was very cold). Catherine gave us excellebt & cheerful attention on a very very busy day (Christmas!)
