Excellente expérience à La Buchette! J'ai été chaleureusement accueillie, même en étant seule, & l'hôte m'a offert une table sur la terrasse malgré qu'elle soit bien remplie. Les frites à la truffe & au parmesan étaient délicieuses, tout comme les huîtres « Camping » & le tartare de boeuf. Le service était impeccable.
I had an unforgettable meal at this restaurant. Everything was beautifully prepared, but the standout was their truffle egg, which was honestly the best thing I've ever tasted. Rich, silky, & perfectly balanced, it felt like the kind of dish you remember for years. The rest of the menu followed the same level of care fresh ingredients, bold flavors, & a kitchen that clearly knows what it's doing. The atmosphere was cozy without trying too hard, & the service made the whole evening feel effortless.
Let me start by saying the service from Joe & the food (mostly) deserve the glowing five-star reviews. But I'm sorry, bad 70s classic rock cranked up loud is a total vibe killer for a French/Quebecois restaurant in such a picturesque setting just off the Place d'Armes! It was so jarring & out of sync! (Loud Foreigner's Cold as Ice?! Really???!!!) I also would not give five stars to the French Onion Soup. It was sweet rather than savory, not very hot, & they cheated by serving cheese-covered toast on the side of the soup - rather than a cheese-COVERED soup with all that gooey fabulousness, with croutons inside. That said the Boeuf Bourguignon was outstanding & worth every penny, & the trout tartare cooked in citrus juice on a bed of broccolini & marinated red onions was interesting & a fresh twist. Since we weren't Canadian, we didn't understand the context of being brought our chocolate cake dessert in a plastic container that looked like it got picked up in a 7-11. Seems it's an homage to a McCain Cake, which indeed is something you pick up from the local convenience store on your way to a potluck when you're in your 20s. The waiter's assistant who brought it out didn't speak English, so we were flummoxed, but Joe explained the context - & even showed us a page off of Google - & the cake & icing itself were scrumptious! Meanwhile, between the terrible songs we could catch a nearby street busker's romantic & much more appropriate guitar music. Please take a cue, management!!!

We made a reservation for dinner on our last night in Old Quebec from P.R. Once we arrived, they seated us at a table of our choice (a family of five). To our delight, our waitress, Penelope, provided top-notch service. We ordered the grilled duck breast, wine, digestif, & a kids' menu with dessert. 10/10 for service & food. Highly recommended.
Food was put into a room temp cast iron pot which drain the heat from the food. Sause was under a bit bland. Service was fine. Music volume was to high to easily talk. Not returning, esp. given price.
I do not have words to commend the service at this extraordinary & exquisite restaurant!
Food was delicious as well as the crafted drinks.
I want to thank the incredible service of manager Diego, waitress Sandrine, Francois the receptionist & Christopher! They went above & beyond to provide us with the best experience! Thank you sooo very much!
