While we were visiting Quebec City we found this adorable bistro off the beaten path. It was so good for lunch that we went back the same night for dinner! I had the croque monsieur for lunch & it was picture-perfect as well as tasty. It was served with the most delicious yet simply salad verte. For dinner I had the beef bourguignon & again, perfect & delicious. I loved the portion sizes of everything - just right. The place itself is very cute & intimate & perfectly darkened. The service was friendly & excellent. We hope to be able to return!

Went for dinner on a Saturday night with reservation at 7:30. They were out of a few menu options. We got the smoked meat & stuffed quail. They were ok, a little spendy for what you get. The coffee creme brulee & maple pie were pretty good though. Service was great, staff were friendly. Enjoyed dining there.

We ordered French Onion soup, potato blinis, & benedictine of the moment. Food is delightful & balanced in flavour. Service & vibes are real good & chill. They even initiated to correct the order after it has been served. Can't recommend this place enough!

Restaurant agréable avec une belle ambiance . Une cuisine de qualité, l'accompagnement des plats pourrait être plus généreux, la joue de boeuf se sentait un peu seule dans l'assiette.

Une très belle surprise pour ce petit restaurant de quartier du Vieux-Quebec qui existe depuis plus de 50 ans. Une cuisine très raffinée & un service très attentionné & professionnel. L'endroit est très chaleureux avec un décor de bistro des années 70/80. Les clients sont locaux & également quelques touristes en recherche d'expérience locales. Une belle petite carte de vins pour accompagner le menu qui change assez régulièrement. J'ai eu le plaisir de déguster une joue de boeuf braisée qui fondait tout simplement dans la bouche & en entrée, une soupe à l'oignon tout à fait délicieuse & traditionnelle! Pour dessert, une tarte au sucre traditionnelle. Du début jusqu'à la fin, une très belle expérience. L'ambiance est très jeune & feutrée. Dans l'ensemble, un très bon bistro de quartier. Une visite s'impose lors de votre passage à Québec!
