Portion is too small. After eating the main course my whole family & I don't feel like we have eaten anything. Food quality is nothing to shout about & we spent like over $20 per person. Don't think it's value for money.

Great good & service, just off the busy tourist street but easy to get to. Nice & quiet compared to the tourist spots right around the corner. Local vibe with great food

Came here for a drink & a small bite & had a good time. The place has that typical French city feel, especially when the doors to the street are open, definitely adds to the feel.

We have never eaten there. Just had beer. Like all places in Old City, Quebec, it is very pricey & we usually prefer outside the walls. However, it is one street off the main drag. The main drag is usually crammed full of people & this is quiet & pleasant.

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.

Food was delicious but very expensive & tiny portions. The server short changed us $20 & asked for tip. I think she just made a math error but nonetheless I found that someone demanding certain % for tip in front of the customer just not very Canadian thing to do. No wonder that other restaurants had long lines but this place was empty.
