We visited La Buche at 8:00 PM on a packed Thursday night, & I'm so glad we booked online in advance, we were seated almost immediately despite the crowd. The energy in the room was high & vibrant, the decor had so many interesting details, making for a truly memorable atmosphere.

We were pleasantly surprised when it was the co-proprietor (Mychael?) personally led us to a beautifully appointed table by the window. Our server was incredibly accommodating & welcoming, which really helped since this was our first time diving into authentic Quebecois cuisine.

The food was a gastronomic & cultural revelation. We shared several dishes, & every single one hit the mark:

* The Classics: The La Tourtière Facon Buche (duck, pork, beef meat pie) & Onion Soup were hearty & traditional.

* The Starters: The Tartare de Cerf (deer tartare) & Croquettes de Pate (meat pie nuggets) offered a great introduction to local flavors.

* The Mains: Both the Salmon Dylan Cabane & the Roti de Cochon (pork - so tender) were expertly prepared.

While the pricing is on the higher side, the quality of the ingredients & the level of service make it a worthwhile splurge. It's a fantastic spot if you want a lively, upscale take on French-Canadian comfort food.

We haven't tried the other choices & we missed dessert so we definitely have a reason to come back!

Nous sommes allé bruncher mon conjoint & moi lors de notre passage a Quebec & nous avons adoré, nous avons pris le plateau'cabane a sucre' & wow, je n'ai jamais aussi bien mangé dans une cabane à sucre régulière. Ils ont aussi plein de choix de cocktail ! L'ambiance & le service était excellent.

Went today for lunch & ordered french onion soup & the steak & eggs. The French onion soup was in the deconstructed style but it didn't feel like French onion soup - soup in a bowl & bread with cheese on the side. No Gruyère or bread in the soup itself, & most disappointingly the soup was lukewarm. It was not prepared with bread & cheese on top & cooked under broiler, it was simply poured into a cold bowl & served with barely warm bread with cheese no longer melted. Quite disappointing. The bread was nice but the flavour of soup was not well balanced & fell a bit flat, tasted too strongly of red wine. My girlfriend got the steak & eggs which was fine but a small portion on only one slice of bread & the steak seemed to be quite a cheap cut of meat & not very much of it. Also the atmosphere was only okay, the music choice was pretty bad. Floor was also very dirty with food scraps under the table & my butt had food crumbs on it when I stood up. The positives - our waiter was lovely, very friendly & listened to our less than perfect French.

La Buche is our favorite breakfast place hands down. It is a must every time we visit Quebec. The maple syrup on a stick & maple bacon are our favorite treats. We highly recommend that you check it out.
