Very traditional French high dining restaurant with a mention in Michelin guide.

If you want high quality French cuisine, you will not be disappointed as the place has been here & serving some of these classic dishes like steak tartare since its opening 1984!

However if you are interested in more modern twists to French cuisine, you might not like it that much.

Service was great, however requires a reservation even though there were really two couples in the restaurant & was told that I need to make up my mind about the tasting menu as the kitchen will close soon. This was minutes after my 8pm reservation, so I find that to be not such a nice thing to say, especially at such a high end place, particularly given they were couple hours away from closing with a very empty restaurant.

Other than this, highly recommended!

For main we had skate wing, a fish dish, photo taken after one part was'snatched' by my wife☺?☺?. The fish was cooked perfect & tasted very good. Very happy with my meals, indeed of Michelin standards! Now I'm enjoying my coffee.

We happen to be walking by this restaurant a few days ago & stopped to look at the menu. The menu looked good so I made a reservation. we arrived at 6:30 PM & the outside seating was almost full, but it was warm out so we decided to sit inside where it was much cooler. I started out with a glass of Chenin Blanc & my other half had a glass of Sancerre. We ordered some bread to start off. I chose the warm goat cheese over brioche with a sun-dried tapenade & my partner had the lobster carpaccio. Both dishes were excellent! My partner chose the duck confit & I had the pork mignon cutlet for our entrées. Again, both dishes were excellent. We still had room for dessert so we shared the tasting plate for two. It consisted of Tonka, bean, crème brûlée, sugar pie, honey & vanilla ice cream, opera cake. It didn't take us long to finish it! I really wanted to order another one! LOL! As the evening went on the, more people started coming in. I highly recommend this restaurant if you're staying in Quebec city.

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

One of our fav meals in QC. Room is sophisticated & service very professional. Food is fantastic. Cocktails are expert. It's in a somewhat desserted area near the port, but a perfect location a quick walk from Musee Civilization & the Place Royal. Highly recommend.

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.
