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.

What a delightful find & our top choice for dining during our weekend in Old Quebec! We had the pleasure of visiting twice, once for dinner & once for brunch, & sampled a total of 9 different items, all of which were delicious. Our favorites included the onion soup, squash soup, Caesar salad, & the remarkable key lime pie. Speaking of the key lime pie, it’s a hidden gem not featured on the menu & not available every day, but it’s a real treat, resembling crème brûlée with the perfect balance of sweetness.

Adding to the charm, the restaurant is nestled in an antique setting that provides a peaceful escape from the bustling main streets, avoiding the noise & crowds. The staff, while friendly, appeared to be a bit short-handed at times, resulting in occasional delays in service. Nevertheless, it was a great dining experience that we would highly recommend.

Quaint little bistro on a quiet street. Simple good food that is well prepared & fairly priced. Veggies were fresh & crisp. Staff were all extremely warm & welcoming & while they were very busy, they remained attentive. We shared the onion soup for openers & thought it quite good. Only disappointment was that they didn't have the lamb shanks or beef bourginon available even though it was 7:00 on a Saturday evening!

This is a cozy gem of a place, half a block away from the busier streets. We were unlucky enough to be there on an evening when a chef had called in sick, so the main dishes on the menu were not available. Welcome to the world of small restaurants--& hence only four stars rather than five, since we didn't get back during our short stay & couldn't really sample the whole menu. But the onion soup was delicious, & the salad & open face sandwich we had were fine. The service was first rate & very friendly. We'd love to try them again sometime.
