La Buche offers a vibrant and authentic dining experience that captures the heart of traditional Quebecois cuisine. Guests frequently praise the warm, festive atmosphere and the eclectic decor, which includes a notably unique washroom design. While the menu features hearty, comfort-focused dishes such as poutine, tourtière, and various maple-inspired desserts, the attentive and friendly staff consistently enhance the visit. Although the popularity of the restaurant can lead to bustling crowds and the need for reservations, many visitors find the overall quality of the food and the lively cultural immersion well worth the experience.
I got the French toast with caramelized apples & my boyfriend got chicken & waffles. The food was absolutely amazing!!! & the latte was good as well! I definitely recommend having a reservation as it fills quickly.
I had the best experience at this lovely restaurant! Extraordinary! The staff were so friendly & the service was amazing! The servers checked with me several times to be sure I had everything that I needed. I had the French Onion Soup (delicious) & the Pâté Chinois (also delicious). I didn't have room for dessert however the Maple Syrup Pie came highly recommended. I also enjoyed a lovely French Canadian Rosé. Overall, my experience was delightful!
Excellent ambience. Friendly, helpful waitstaff. We had 1 lunch & 2 dinners there over a 4 day trip. My wife & daughter had eaten there last year & highly recommended it. Reservations are a good idea especially for dinner.
Super lieu chaleureux & à la décoration ultra typique on a adoré!! Nous avons pris un petit déjeuner/brunch qui était copieux, l'ambiance est top, les serveuses & serveurs au petit soin bref je recommande un passage à La Buche pendant votre périple Québécois!
I got the québécois crepes & it was really yummy! It was drenched in maple syrup & it was good maple syrup. It is sweet so I recommend it only if you have a sweet tooth.
La Buche was recommended by a local as the best French food in the neighborhood without a crazy high price point. Such a good choice. We loved everything we were served & the service was great. We had the pork loin & tourtière. The picture of the pork does not do it justice. It was delicious & very tender. It's served with potatoes, prepared sort of like a hash brown, & a carrot puree. Both were great pairs to the pork. The tourtiere was also filled with tender meats & topped with a super flaky pastry. It's served with a fruit ketchup which was new to me. It has a pickled flavor & was an unexpected complement. House salad & poor man's pudding were also great - get it with a scoop of ice cream. To be safe, make a reservation. We were lucky to arrive early (4:45ish) & get a table without one. It was packed when we left.
Really friendly staff, great food, fun atmosphere. The poutine has some tomato in the gravy, which was an unexpected but tasty twist. The deer tartare was fresh & blended with a sweet-savoury mixture of well-balanced spices & mustard, with some toasted nuts sprinkled in for a little bit of crunch. Tourtiere was more shepherd's pie style with a puff pastry crust on top (which was more of a removable topping), & seasoned nicely. Both dishes came with generous field green salads, although the dressing they used for the salad with the tourtiere was a little sweet for my taste (salad with the tartare had more of a vinaigrette dressing). Onion soup was piping hot & generously laden with cheese & onions. For dessert, highly recommend'poor man's pudding' with ice cream, & maple syrup pie. Thanks to the tour guide we had earlier in the day, we knew what these were beforehand, else we might have missed it!'Poor man's pudding' is some white cake drowned in a caramel-like maple sauce that will make make your eyes roll up into the back of your head. The maple syrup pie had a semi-solid filling made from I don't know what (probably eggs, cream, & corn starch), but & wasn't overly sweet, & it was topped with mixed toasted nuts & a little maple syrup. The nuts definitely made it special. Just be forewarned about the unconventional bathrooms: rather than'men's' &'women's,' all the bathrooms are just individual little rooms with toilets in them, & then there's a common area to wash your hands afterwards, which consists of a bathtub with some pipes above it with valves, & you turn the valve & the water comes down. It's fun & funky, but definitely unexpected!
This is our 3rd year visiting Quebec City & our 3rd visit to L Buche. We love the fun vibe the energy of the staff & the excellent food & service. Our sever this year, Chris, was amazing. I highly recommend going to La Buche for great Quebecois food.
