Thank you for a wonderful dinner. We likely had the best french onion soup we will taste. All other recommendations we were presented with turned out to be a 10/10. A great Quebec City experience … Merci!

A great alternative just off the gamut of touristy spots on the main roads.
Delicious food. The best French we've had on this trip at fair prices. Onion soup, burger & mustard chicken stew all fantastic. The maple pie needs a little loving..
Nice waitress (flirty) needs a little polishing but good at recommendations.

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.

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.

My first visit to Quebec City. Glad to find out this place for a nice dinner. Not in the middle of core city center, but it's pretty close by. Enjoy the relax atmosphere of the restaurant. Food is really fantastic. We ordered onion soup, escargot & foie gras terrine. Also crème burlee. Service is excellent too. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Quebec City.

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.
