Good enough to justify a plane ticket. Good enough that the fact the restaurant has no Michelin star leads me to believe Michelin is the one who's wrong. Good enough to justify learning French. It's existential crisis levels of quality.

I had a burger here. Attempting to eat a burger from any other restaurant now results in crushing disappointment to the point where I can't finish it. The quality sails past good & lands on genuinely confusing, like why is it so noticeably so much better here even by comparison to the other restaurants in QC including the more expensive ones??

If your airport has flights to Quebec City it is worth the plane ticket to eat here. One of the better meals in a long time. Comparable to a Michelin star place. Octopus with beans was mind blowing & so good. Small but excellent wine selection. Like your French grandmother was cooking for you. Very casual & a little loud - left bank authentic.

Had the pleasure of the owner Luis attending us for a wonderful lunch. We had an informal tour of French onion soups at various restaurants & this was #1! We told Luis we did the same thing at Sanibel in Florida for Keylime pie & what do you know, his wife the chef had made a Keylime pie on a one off whim. Who would've thought we go all the way to Canada to have probably the best piece of Keylime pie in our lives. Sorry Keylime Bistro & Gramma Dots, you're now runner up & third place. The food was incredible & next time we go, we will have dinner there.

Awesome French Onion soup & Guedille de Crevette washed down with some lovely Merlot & Pinot Noir. A great find away from the crowds.

I went to this restaurant yesterday! The food was amazing! That was the first meal we take in Quebec city, & today I stay in another restaurant & finish the second day's dinner right now, & I realize this might be the best French restaurant in the whole city! If you don't order wine the price won't go that high. ( I just edited it, I went here October 2024)

Had dinner here recently with family. Escargot & French onion soup were nice. Unfortunately my chair suddenly broke under me & I fell hard to the ground, my table fell & glasses broke in the process. Staff apologized but that was the extent of the managing of the event to my knowledge. Hope they pay more attention to quality & safety of their establishment in the future.

Amazing French onion soup. The beef tartare was good as well
Definitely recommend the mushroom risotto, love the crunchiness of the nuts added to this dish.

Wow! This place is a gem. Fantastic meals , wine & great service. We had the salmon & French onion soup & they both were fantastic. We tried a local white wine & were impressed. Highly recommend.

Quaint restaurant with divine French onion soup. Enjoyed mushroom risotto with duck, shrimp roll, escargot, cafe latte, couple of glasses of wine, slice of sugar pie. Waitress did a good job- she was the solo server.

I had a wonderful dinner here. The French onion soup was fantastic & the risotto was out of this world! Best risotto I've ever had!! The owner was 1 of the people who took care of me & was very nice & accommodating. The night I went was very busy but the service didn't lack at all. I cannot wait to come back to the city so I can come back to this restaurant!
