We had an amazing dinner experience! The restaurant was beautiful, the atmosphere was wonderful, & the service was excellent. The staff waz incredibly attentive, friendly, & made our evening even more enjoyable. Highly recommend!
Great selection of classic breakfast/brunch fare in a full on Canadiana decorated space. Every dish was beautifully prepared, with quality ingredients (read thick & crispy bacon, Quebec maple syrup, light crepes, & great coffee) & the service was both friendly & incredibly fast. Reservations are recommended for breakfast/brunch as the space is not huge & the place is very popular. Highly recommended.

First visit to Quebec City. La Buchette has a wonderful ambience & serving staff-warm, friendly & highly knowledgeable. The food is wonderful, refined, but yet homey. I will definitely return & recommend to others.
When you order hamburger, be sure to ask for pink or medium rare. I ordered them on three separate occasions from different servers & none of them bothered to ask how I'd like it done. So they all came out anywhere from well done & very dry.
If you never had poutine you can upgrade your side of fries to poutine for seven bucks. It's pretty decent poutine.
The lunch menu selection is very limited but you may be able to order breakfast past lunch time.
The service is on the slow side so don't come here if you are tight on schedule.
I recommend having the mussels & blue cheese sauce. However don't order it if you go by there yourself. Split it with at least two people if not three & share other dishes.
Overall I think this place is solid but keep your expectation low. It is not nearly as good as the rating suggests. So if you can't find a table don't wait more than ten minutes. You can find alternatives nearby.
-1 for slow service. -1 for billing error that I caught.
A delightfully French Canadian culinary experience. Excellent food, outstanding service, beautiful rustic decor, every detail of our visit was perfect. I highly recommend the Tartiflette...heavenly!
We would highly recommended La Buchette, you must try it if you are in Quebec City. When we arrived, Christopher greeted us & went over & above to find us a table during a busy dinner service. Our server Diego was delightful, warm, friendly, funny & extremely knowledgeable about the menu, making suggestions & recommendations for food & selecting a delicious wine. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming & very personal! We were dining with my sister & her husband, we all agreed the'La Buchette experience' was the highlight of our short visit to Quebec City. My husband had the maple glazed pork shank, I had the beef carpaccio with a green salad - both dishes were delicious. In fact we returned to the restaurant the next morning for breakfast & Diego served us again with the same friendly, warm & welcoming service. My husband had the crepes with chocolate sauce & berries, I had the cassolette which was super delicious, perfect over easy eggs, sausage, bacon, potatoes, fresh spinach, & more all in one dish. It was another fantastic meal with the same super-fantastic service. Merci beaucoup Diego & Christopher you made the experience at La Buchette truly memorable. We will be back!

We had the crepes & cassolette, both delicious & super filling. The cassolette was delicious was the la buchette hot sauce. Service was welcoming & attentive. Loved the decor. Lots of taxidermy around. Would recommend
A great restaurant located in the heart of Quebec City on Rue Saint-Jean, just a short walk from popular attractions such as Old Quebec, Château Frontenac, & Place d'Youville.
We had a burger that was absolutely outstanding - flavorful, well prepared, & definitely one of the highlights of our meals in the city.
The staff was also very kind & welcoming, contributing to a relaxed & enjoyable atmosphere.
Overall, a highly recommended spot for a good meal in a lively & central area of Quebec City.
The staff gave me a very warm welcome, & I was served what might be one of the best poutines I've ever had. The combination of classic poutine ingredients with the pork sides & mustard sauce was outstanding.
After a long walk, this meal felt like a real reward. The atmosphere, combined with the quality of the food, made it one of the highlights of my trip to Quebec.
Highly recommended!
Thank you for everything

Je recommande absolument ce restaurant. J'ai déjà d'y retourner. Le personnel est très courtois & professionnel. Le choix de Cocktails est incroyable sans parler de la nourriture wow !!
Merci beaucoup à Diego pour le service hors pair sur la terrasse! Bière de la microbrasserie Archibald! Happy Hour disponible ! On recommande fortement! Menu dejeuner, menu midi & souper qui differe!
Some of the best food in Canada! Staff are friendly, food is TO DIE FOR!! blend of authentic Canadian cuisine & the French cuisine that influenced it! Cannot recommend enough, if i had to pick something to recommend (which is hard because everything was SO GOOD) I'd recommend the duck carpaccio & the maple-glazed pork shank. Every dessert option was phenomenal, but definitely snag some of the'bûcheron' chocolate cake, it was moist, nostalgic, & from a small local family business! (Plus you can get two free mimosas at brunch service with the coupon on the box) all in all, an authentic taste of old town Quebec!
Un vrai délice !
Nous avons goûté une poutine & un Burger, c'était excellent. Honnêtement, ce sont les meilleurs frites que nous avons mangés je pense !
Très belle deco & équipe gentille, je recommande !
Déjeuner de rêve aujourd'hui. Nous avons dégusté l'assiette brunch pour 2. Omelette au fromage cheddar & chèvre, saucisse maison, bacon à l'érable, effiloché de jambon & pommes de terre hachée. Pain perdu avec caramel salé, fruits & salade maison. Tout ça avec le service très professionnel de Benoît. Je recommande fortement pour le meilleur déjeuner à Québec 😉
Une très joli restaurant avec un décor pour sûr à l'image même du Québec 🏞?
La carte comprends des tarifs un peu onéreux mais la qualité présente dans votre l'assiette en résultera pleinement.
J'ai pour ma part opter pour une entrée avec un carpaccio de magret de canard très goûteux & délicatement présenté.
Le plat fût succulent avec une très bonne sauce bolognaise & le gâteaux au chocolat façon McCain fût l'un des meilleurs que j'ai goûter ces derniers temps & en vaut le détour.
Le service fût impeccable & rien n'est a ajouter là-dessus avec des serveuses, serveurs au petit soin pour vous & surtout très souriant 😁
Je recommande ce restaurant si vous souhaitez obtenir une expérience culinaire Québécoise à ne pas manquer en plein coeur du Vieux-Québec a 2 minutes à pied du château Frontenac 🏰
