This adorable restaurant is in the lower town part of old Quebec. The ambiance is lovely & it's very upscale; with amazing food, wine & service. I would definitely recommend getting their appetizer special, where you get to try 3 appetizers for a fixed price. We enjoyed the charcuterie (which counted as 2 appetizers) & the beef tartare very much. For dinner, the duck was second to none. It was so tender & flavorful. The rib eye for 2 was fantastic also. Our server was helpful & attentive. It was about $380 Canadian dollars for 3 people (with tip), including a bottle of wine.

This was the tastiest & juiciest duck confit I've ever eaten! The way they perfectly sear the meat makes it evident that they have been cooking up delicious meals since 1984. Highly recommend

A lovely bistro on a quiet street away from the tourist hotspots. All three appetizers that my family ordered (the veal tongue on potato salad, the gazpacho, & the green bean & zucchini cream soup) were incredibly delicious. The green bean & zucchini soup is the best soup that I have eaten to date! The entrees were just as tasty (the quail, the flank steak, & the duck confit) & I loved the sauce that came with the quail. Our waitress was very kind & attentive. If you visit & the weather is nice, enjoy your meal on the patio!

We came here to celebrate two birthdays & eat well. We can't over the fact that the oysters are served on rocks instead of ice (what we're used to in the USA). They were also bland & not briny, so now we know. Portions are small & so we ordered apps & entrees to share. They get 5 stars because the server mentioned that they can make anything & as my friend was asking about the taste profile of one of the cocktails on the menu, the server mentioned The Last Word. I haven't been able to get that in the USA because of the chartreuse shortage. So I was so happy to finally taste it again! Ambiance is brightly lit with tables spaced decently apart. Two bathrooms for the entire restaurant. It's right off of the busy tourist streets but the inside is quite calm. They have this item where you can pick 3 appetizers for a set price so we did that. We also did that to try all of the desserts. I loved the Scottish egg that came with the duck but was surprised by the smoked duck slices. The beef tartare entrée was yummy with the fries. The lamb was my favorite dish. Then after dinner it was so convenient to then stroll the cobble stoned streets & walk off dinner a little bit.

Vegetables not cooked with duck confit. Chef supplied a bowl of properly cooked vegetables later in the meal.

Wow! My husband & I ate dinner here one night. The server was so nice & attentive. We had the warm goat cheese appetizer & it was great. I had the wagyu steak & it was incredible. My husband had the duck leg confit & loved it. For dessert I had the Tonka bean creme brulee & it's the best creme brulee I've ever had. 10/10 & highly recommend.
