While traveling quebec my wife & i found this place on accident. The first day we came here for the lunch menu & it was so great that we had to come back for dinner. The highlights in terms of food where the mushroom risotto with duck, the fisherman's pie & especially the artichoke dip (absolute must try). all the staff were incredibly nice but especially Flora on the second night was incredibly friendly. amazing place, huge recommendation

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.

Located in a small alley but still attracts many customers to visit. Foods are delicious, & cocktails are fantastic. Only 1 chef cooks for the all customers, so foods may come with a bit delay. It will be worth your time since evey dishes are well-cooked, flavoured & melted in mouth. Highly recommend Duck Caesar Salad.

Had the duck confit Caesar salad & it was amazing, some of the best duck I've had & the broccoli instead of the lettuce was a brilliant idea! We also had the maple syrup pie which was delicious, very subtle flavor with a delicate crust that we loved. Last but not least we had an onion soup that didn't disappoint & my wife had the scallops, overall a great experience including a very friendly service & a beautiful ambience. Highly recommend!

We went there for dinner first, & it was amazing. All we ate was delicious, French onion soup (the best we ate in our trip) meat, burger, poutine, duck confit etc.
It was so delicious we came back again for
"Breakfast" At 12.
We ate eggs Benedict, croque monsieur, coffee, mimosas & more onion soup (yes, we're fans :)
Everything from the food & the service was spectacular.
Definitely a restaurant I'll go back again & again.

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!)
