Late lunch on a rainy afternoon. The wait staff found a place for us in this little place with tight space & proceeded to give us exceptional food & service. This is the perfect escape from the Vieux-Quebec fast food.

What a cozy & inviting experience. This place feels like a hidden gem. (At least to us.). It was off the beaten path. We went for a late breakfast & ended up sampling a divine lunch that included duck & fisherman's pie. The attention & care along with the service made this a place we will definitely return to when we are return to Quebec City.

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.

Stopped here for lunch after reading about it. My wife is a huge french onion soup lover & someone said they had the best in town. She was actually pretty angry because she didn't get much cheese on her soup & the guy next to us got a ton. I kept telling her she got the less because we are Americans . Regardless, the soup was exceptional it has incredible flavor & I agree it is one of the best French Onion soups i've had. She also got a burger & I got the Seafood pie. It was basically Shepard pie with shrimp & scallops. & was very very satisfying. The only draw back is that I am a fat f & the tables are spaced pretty close together. Not a lot of room to move. Otherwise, the food , the service & the price made for a wonderful lunch.

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

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.

Lunch was good, dinner is much better. Is in a little alley away from all the noise & activities. It is actually much larger inside than expected.

Great experience. A little hard to find but perfect low key local experience if u find it. I was actually looking for a croque madame (i missed my breakfast egg), but that's apparently a lunch item, so I just jumped at a lobster 🦞 roll & a draught local amber. Both were spot on. I sat outside but u can sit inside in the window. place is small. service attentive. food & drink top notch! Creative delicious roll. yummy amber thx folks
