An urban sugar shack in the heart of Old Quebec? Mais oui! It was fabulous! We went New Year's Day (highly recommend to get reservations in advance so you do not wait in the cold), & the atmosphere is so warm & inviting, you feel immediately at home! It was very kind that they tend to seat visitors in the rooms away from the frigid air...if you come in the front door, the first two rooms are a bit chilly, so they tend to put visiters in the warmer rooms of the restaurant out of the cold! Very kind! The pea soup is extraordinary, you must try, the shepherd pie is very tasty & a generous portion, if you are not four people, I recommend the mini-version of the sugar shack plate complete with Canadian bacon, sausages, crepe with maple butter & blueberries, scrambled eggs, beans, a really good breakfast meatball, & much more! A band played music quebecoise. It was amazing. You can even get maple taffy that you make on an ice top bar. Make sure to check it out, & next door is their gift shop where you can take home Karibou wine & fun souvenirs! A must-see!

This was my second time visiting La Buche & it was just as great as the first time. I was really impressed with the service. We went on New Year's Day & the place was packed, one of the members of our group was running late therefore we had to wait to order. The staff did not make a big deal, they never put pressure on us to start ordering & they were very forgiving about the situation. The food was delicious, I highly recommend this place if you're a tourist & would like to taste classic Québecois dishes. They also offer a sugar shack experience all year round ! One of my favorite restaurants 😊

It's such a welcoming restaurant-every time I pass by, I see a crowd of people are crammed on the street outside the door, even in freezing weather. Luckily, I managed to book a table after several tries. If you'd like to try typical Quebecois cuisine, you should definitely go there-it won't let you down. We ordered some popular brunch dishes, & everything was perfect. Next time, we'll try their supper menu.

Portions are small. Poutine is great! Ambiance is very Quebecois.

Une adresse sympathique bien que très touristique.
La serveuse qui s'est occupée de nous était vraiment aux petits soins. Agréable malgré le monde.
Nous avons passé un très bon moment & goûtés des spécialités typiques de nos cousins Québécois.

It's alright for what it is - a kitschy, semi-tourist trap with decent'Quebecois' food. The meat omelette was fine, & loaded up decently enough with fillings. The maple pulled ham side was tasty, though honestly, pretty small for $7. Would be nice to get more than one slice of toast with a breakfast that cost $29. It's also pretty embarrassing that a place that styles itself as rustic & homestyle is using frozen, bought-in breakfast potatoes. The food came out quick (though, weirdly, not particularly hot). I think I saw the server once between the order & the bill, so make sure you get everything you need in one shot. Ultimately, there are better brunch options in Quebec, but La Buche is adequate if the goofy decor & pseudo-sugar shack vibes are what you want.
