Just perfect. Easy to miss this little gem of a restaurant as it's just off the main road, but it's an essential visit.
The food is beautiful, well designed & perfectly balanced. Service is excellent & the ambience is relaxed & cosy.

First time visiting Quebec City & this was the best meal that we've had on our trip. The Shrimp Roll was fantastic & my wife loved the Mushroom Risotto. I would definitely come here again during our next visit.

Sat here for a few late night glasses of wine & it was just bliss. Excellent atmosphere, service, wine selection, & view towards a quiet but charming street. We will absolutely be back for the food (& more wine)🍷

We met the owner at a different restaurant the night before he told us to come by & we are glad we did. The atmosphere is quaint & beautiful. We enjoyed some amazing appetizers & a few cocktails & they were all wonderful. We will certainly be visiting Quebec City again & this is one of the main reasons we will be coming back.
