Come and discover La Bûchette, a Quebec "buvette" in Old Quebec on the superb Sainte-Anne Street, a pedestrian street, just a stone's throw from Rue du Trésor and the Château Frontenac.
Whether for breakfast, lunch, dinner or brunch, come visit us!
La Buchette offers a welcoming and cozy atmosphere in the heart of Quebec City, frequently praised for its distinctively rustic decor and excellent location. Many guests enjoy the diverse menu, with standout dishes like the beef bourguignon, duck carpaccio, and various brunch offerings often highlighted as delicious and well-prepared. While the restaurant experiences high traffic, the staff is consistently described as friendly, attentive, and professional, frequently going above and beyond to provide a memorable dining experience. Although opinions on certain dishes and service speeds vary during busy periods, the majority of visitors appreciate the quality of the ingredients and the overall culinary experience.
We visited La Buchette for dinner while vacationing outside of Quebec City. The atmosphere, food, & service were fantastic.
The vibe is very cozy & home-like. The restaurant is outfitted with a brick & exposed wood interior, much taxidermy, & one half of a vehicle. The other half is located in their related restaurant, La Buche. Very very cool atmosphere with great music playing.
I loved that the main meals were divided into general food, French food, & Quebecois food on the menu. My preference when traveling is to eat the local cuisine & this made it easy. My party of 2 ordered the house poutine with maple glazed pork belly as an appetizer. For our main meal, we ordered the Beef Bourguignon & the Tartiflette a l'Origine de Charlevoix. Both were fantastic!
Aside from all of the great food & music, the service made our experience. I believe our waitress's name was Océane. She went above & beyond by sharing a hand-written list of recommendations for the next town we were visiting in Quebec. Highly recommend La Buchette if you are looking for a nice meal with a cozy atmosphere!
A must when in Quebec! We have dined in quite a few different restaurants & absolutely loved everything here from A to Z. The staff was super welcoming & of good advice & we loved the decor & more intimate setting. We started with cocktails & were impressed by the authenticity of them (Le Duc, their own version of whiskey sour with maple syrup was really bold & simply delicious) featuring local ingredients, well balanced & each beautifully presented. The food was excellent & we loved their take on French food with a twist of Quebec, (the Boeuf Bourguignon that was slow cooked for 10 hours was a killer!) & the trout tartare had a lovey kick to it. Products are of high quality & mostly locally sourced. Would absolutely return as we really enjoyed our evening here!
Wow, 🤩 three simple letters that says what I think.
I came here with my wife for breakfast & we will definitely come back next time we're in Old Quebec.
I asked for French soup & got it, even if it was too early for lunch... Delicious 😋
For breakfast we had Trout toast & Brunch plate... both tasted exquisite & were plentiful to start a day of city exploration.
Thak you for a great culinary experience.

We ordered the burger & the salmon. My friend liked the fish, but I didn't enjoy the burger, it didn't taste very good. Our server, however, was very friendly & helpful, & took the time to explain the menu to us, which was in French only if I remember correctly.
We needed a place for lunch & planned on eating at 1640 Bistro next door. We arrived at 11:30 & they were serving breakfast only & it would have been another hour to serve lunch.
We walked next door to La Buchette & they were serving both breakfast & lunch. Perfect!
We got seated at a 2-top outside right away. Our server came by with water & menus right away.
I ordered the French Onion Soup & my wife ordered the Breakfast Casserole.
The food came out real fast. Less than 10 minutes.
The presentation of my soup was unlike I've ever had. Two slices of bread with melted cheese were served on the side. I ended up placing one of them in my soup, then cutting it up.
The soup had a decent flavor but it was only served somewhat warm - not hot. Not worth sending back, especially after I'd added the bread slice to it. I ate it all none the less.
My wife's casserole was large. The over medium eggs were perfectly done. The casserole ingredients were layered, so it was a bit of a dig to find it all. The flavors were good. If there was a con, it would be there was too much sausage & not enough bacon.
Service here was quite pleasant. We decided to order a coffee & soft drink after our meal to hang out here a bit longer before our bus tour started.
We'd come back to La Buchette. In fact, tomorrow night, we have reservations for La Buche, a fine dining dinner restaurant within the same ownership group.
Beautiful restaurant, our waitress Penelope & her hostess were exceptional at their jobs. The food was incredible & would 1000% recommend this place to anyone. Please get the French toast if you go!
