Great service, & incredible food! We walked in without a reservation, & the downstairs looked quite busy. Luckily they were able to still sit us as they actually have a second floor which was almost empty & very quiet (which we preferred) Ordered the Beef Tartare & the French Onion soup & they were both very good. Some of the best I've tried! We ordered some beers & everything came quite quick. Really happy with the location & quality of the restaurant & food. Thanks!

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.

I'm giving them three stars this time because I was truly disappointed for the food. I felt like it's was too pricey for what we got. It's our second time there & the first time was over the top & over extraordinary! I don't know what happened this time. My main dish was the morue at $38, didn't quite appreciate it. The burger that my boyfriend took was good though!
