This is a quirky, cosy little restaurant. I loved my salad with confit duck - it was probably the best meal I had whilst in Québec! The margaritas were to die for too. Unfortunately my husband ordered the burger which was small & rather average, hence the three stars given for food.
The service was great. Friendly & efficient.

Une superbe adresse dans le cœur historique de Québec. Un service au petit soin, des plats fins & savoureux (hyper frais), le restaurant vaut le détour. Prévoir un budget de 40 euros par personne pour vous régaler.

Pretty little cafe in a wonderful location. Good attentive service. Had the gnocchi which had good flavour but not much mouth appeal. Very disappointed that so many menu items were not available for our visit. Suggest a phone call ahead to check whether they have enough food

We ordered a brunch & a continental breakfast. SO GOOD! Plenty to eat, great value, had a 'bloody Caesar', everything perfect. I NEVER do reviews, but these people deserve one.
