Scallops were tender, sauce was outstanding. Wife's cod was equally great. Marie, our server, was friendly, helpful, attentive & professional. Located in an old non-touristy neighborhood, ambiance was perfect.

Sandwich is really good. Mustard sauce is really a wonderful surprise to me. The salad is light & flavorful at the same time. Good serve overall!

From local place to tourist trap. Indeed, good service & atmosphere but small portions & they recently significantly increased the prices. Not worth it anymore

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.
