Review Summary

La Buche stands out as a vibrant and unique destination in Old Quebec, celebrated for its authentic and hearty interpretation of traditional Québécois comfort food. Guests frequently praise the lively, rustic atmosphere and the exceptionally friendly, professional service that makes both locals and visitors feel welcome. While the menu highlights include standout dishes like the tourtière, shepherd's pie, and various maple-infused desserts, the restaurant's distinct decor and famously unconventional washroom setup add a memorable layer to the overall dining experience. Although it is a popular spot that can become quite busy, leading some to recommend reservations, the majority of patrons find the combination of high-quality ingredients, generous portions, and spirited ambiance to be a highlight of their time in the city.

We stayed in an apartment across the street from Le Buche & could see the lines to get in throughout the day. We were not disappointed as we enjoyed both breakfast & dinner. Delicious food. Friendly & attentive staff. We will return when in Quebec.

Food was great. The service was fantastic. Took time to give us some travel tips & ideas.

Menu is a bit unusual but very good. Would go back.

Great ambience, menu & food. Unfortunately for us a lot of the menu items were unavailable & their substitutes were more common fare (i.e. chicken wings in place of rabbit wings).

The food was great. Really enjoyed eating there. Ingredients were top quality, flavors were spot on. & though it was nothing like the one grandma used to make, the tourtiere was fantastic
Where they lost points for me was front of house staff. Our reservations were for right as the place opened, & front of house were already clearly impatient & snippy, & generally unpleasant with everyone who showed up even 2 minutes early. Really unimpressed with them.
Our server was a bit crusty to start with but warmed up over time.
A shame that front of house staff was the thing to detract from this otherwise excellent meal.

- Seated in the area close to the kitchen heat with no A/C, while only served room temperature water - Time between completion of appetizers & main plates was literally almost one hour - Ordered a grilled cheese sandwich that was described on the menu as including smoked cheddar & bacon marmalade - which is what interested me about the sandwich in the first place. Upon receiving the item, it was PLAIN mozzarella grilled cheese sandwich that anyone could have make at home. When I enquired with the server, he apologized & said that they stopped serving grilled cheese with smoked cheddar & the bacon marmalade...something he failed to mention upon my ordering it. Not certain if the server really put through the wrong order (plain grilled cheese) or if the establishment failed to update their menu....either way - NO excuse for failing to disclose the change; unless the server screwed up the order, or the cook screwed up & the server made an excuse for him. So disappointed, as we were looking forward to this dining experience after researching reviews on a number of forums. This was a failure of EPIC proportions.

The staff was very friendly, the food delicious & served quickly & hot. It is the best breakfast restaurant we have ever eaten at. Like Quebec City it is friendly, kind & beyond expectations.
