Great service & attentive staff
Very nice ambience
The food is good but not mind blowing
I ordered :
Ceaser salad -very flavourful
Mashed potatoes - nice & buttery
Salmon tartare - very small portion,not enough flavor, but the fish was fresh
Washed it all down with a negroni
For dessert we ordered the crem brulee - the cream itself was nice & tasty,the sugar layer was a bit too thick
The location in the Old Quarter, the overall ambiance, & the service was wonderful. We had the ceasar salad to start....delicious. My husband & I both had a veal dish ....he had the medallions & I had the scaloppine.....aside from the sauces each was served with, there seemed to be little difference & that was a bit surprising. Overall, would recommend.

It was fantastic, great service, they took care of my wife's allergies. Lobster bisque, foie gras, & gravlax for starters. For mains we had lobster salad, 2 lobster rolls, & veal medallions. A nice bottle of Ripasso, a G & T, an IPA, & a couple of cocktails I can't recall.
Super meal. Lobster salad. Grilled salmon. Lamb shank. Veal medallions. All tasty & well presented on piping hot plates. Many gluten free items clearly marked on menu.
Shared a caesar salad appetizer & seafood fettuccine as main course. Absolutely delicious. Maitre'd , server & bartender were so friendly & helpful with drink & menu choices. Unhurried, delicious dinner . A memorable birthday celebration!
Came here for lobster but the food came out looked like a salad roll. Service was decent. The restaurant was bot busy at all & now i know why. The food was not good compared to the price, the only thing i recommend is the dessert & that's all. Overall the experience was bad i wouldn't recommend this restaurant!
Let me just summarize the following 5 stars - ceasar salad ( one of the best) 3 stars - Veal nothing speical 2 stars - Salmon was way overcooked or old freezer stock as cant taste the meat flakes, it just crumbles. 5 stars - waiter Max was superb, very friendly & happy.
My wife & I ate twice in one week at this wonderful restaurant. Lobsters just came into season & I had the lobster risotto & the 2nd time I had a delicious, unique flavored lobster roll. My wife had the lobster salad & 2nd time the grilled salmon. Food & service was outstanding both times. & we love the decor, very modern & classy.
We are in Quebec to celebrate my birthday. We had dinner at Château Frontenac, & Conti is so outstanding with their service, with the food (we had the petite, filet mignon, & the halibut, along with the most amazing salads, which included, homemade Caesar dressing,).. It puts the frontenac server to shame. Yeah The food was so delicious! & to top it off for dessert they have a Yule tide log!
