Underrated spot, mainly due to its weird location. Octopus was phenomenal, still hungry post meal though (used to American portion)

Un petit bijoux surprenant de la ville de Québec. Je n'étais jamais allé pour manger & j'ai été plus que surpris. Même dans les plats simples comme un tartare de boeuf il y a un souci du détail qui fait que l'assiette se démarque. Je conseille x100.

Rapport qualité prix ++++

The food was delicious.
I have tried steak tartare all over the world. This was among the best.
The service was excellent & entertaining. They enjoyed what they were serving & talking about the food.
I asked for an extra Olive in my Ceasar. She added 3. Delightful!

Lovely small, intimate dining experience with excellent food & service. Helpful advice on the wine selection. On a quiet street with indoor & outdoor seating. Nicely removed from the more central tourist bustle.

Cozy little spot with a warm, local feel. Tried the French onion soup, & it was really good-rich, cheesy, & comforting. The atmosphere felt relaxed & hidden-gem style, & the staff were friendly. A nice place to stop for a simple French meal in Québec.
