Super cute place for a meal. I had lunch here at happy hour. The French onion soup was delicious & very warming on a cold day. The fisherman's pie was amazing & the scallops were cooked well. Not sure was the salad dressing was, but it was my favorite.

Came here for a drink & a small bite & had a good time. The place has that typical French city feel, especially when the doors to the street are open, definitely adds to the feel.

Fabulous dinner in an intimate setting. Menu was small & curated. Service was stellar; ingredients were fresh. Both traditional French dishes & innovative flavors were on the menu. So glad we found this gem as it is worlds apart from typical tourist fare.

We ordered French Onion soup, potato blinis, & benedictine of the moment. Food is delightful & balanced in flavour. Service & vibes are real good & chill. They even initiated to correct the order after it has been served. Can't recommend this place enough!

The food was ok, but very few options available on the menu, & even some of them weren't available on that day. The service was just fair, 6 people behind the bar but only 2 really working so the order was delayed & mistaken. They speak French & English so language wasn't an issue. The onion soup was tasty but a bit expensive for the size ($14/each). The risotto was overcooked, more like a rice pudding texture. Not the worst, but neither the best restaurant in old quebec.

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.
