From the start when the greeter recognized our name from the reservation & had a table ready for us, to the conclusion two plus hours later, the entire experience was very good.
The onion soup was served with cheese bread slices, a very different ay of serving French onion soup. We enjoyed it thoroughly.
Our entrees were beef bourguignon & trout fillet. The bourguignon was tender, simmered in a rich wine sauce with carrots, pearl onions, mushrooms, & plentiful mashed potatoes. The trout was served on top of mashed potatoes, asparagus, pearl onions, & carrots. Both were excellent though could have been served a little bit warmer.
Dessert was a wonderful carrot cake (can't get enough carrots).
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!
Great meal. We enjoyed the poutine to start & the cocktails were excellent. The mussels with bacon & bleu cheese sauce (plus frites) was so good. Others enjoyed the halibut with crème sauce & the French onion soup. Waiter was excellent. Good atmosphere & decor - we'll eat there again!
Great offerings. Both the breakfast & lunch menus were available at 1PM. Our server was exceptionally thoughtful, the food delightful (especially the Onion Soup) & the ambiance nice & cozy!
I dined at La Buchette during the last week of December & am finally sharing my two cents about the experience.
The service was great & the atmosphere felt warm & cozy.
I was really looking forward to a cheesy onion soup moment, but it wasn't what I expected. The bread & cheese were served on the side, so you don't get that dramatic cheesy pull you're hoping for.
The presentation was beautiful, but overall the flavors were just okay for me. I personally felt the seasoning leaned a bit on the bland side, but maybe that's just me having a saltier palate.
One thing I would like to note is that their menu changes seasonally, so don't rely too heavily on older reviews because dishes might not be available anymore.
Went there on Christmas night(reserved a table a month prior), the food was amazing, & their service was friendly. Loved their red wine beef & onion soup a lot!

Excellent du début à la fin. J'y suis allé quelques fois déjà maintenant & à chacune de mes présences, ce fut un sans faute. Autant pour déjeuner que pour dîner ou souper, la nourriture est savoureuse & également très bien présentée. Les cocktails signatures sont également délicieux.
Mention spéciale à Océane qui offre un service qui redéfinie la perfection. Attentionnée, présente & soucieuse de chaque détails, elle assure que l'expérience de La Buchette soit impeccable du début à la fin.
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.
❤?

Les plats étaient super bon. Une soupe a l oignons comme j en avair jamais manger avec un goût caramélisé au top. Les serveurs super sympa. Tres belle découverte
J'ai pris une soupe a l'oignon très bonne, rapport qualité-prix basique. Décor sympa mais travaux sur la route en face.
Je recommande pour pause déjeuner ou dîner!
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.
Nous avions une réservation & avons été très bien accueillis dès notre arrivée. Le service était sympathique & l'ambiance sur la terrasse vraiment agréable. Le souper a pris un peu de temps à arriver, mais l'attente en valait la peine! Une fois servis, nous avons tous été agréablement surpris par la qualité des plats. Le tartare de boeuf & les moules-frites étaient tout simplement délicieux. Une belle découverte à Québec, on recommande!
