Nous avons tous les deux commandé le même plat, leur'Bouillabec', & nous avons été déçus par deux choses: 1- le poisson était trop cuit & 2- le bouillon était tiède, pas chaud. C'était goûteux, quand même, mais ça aurait pu être tellement meilleur. Ils nous ont offert de retourner le plat à la cuisine, ce que nous avons refusé, alors ils nous ont gentiment offert le dessert, ce que nous avons accepté. J'ai choisi leur'soupe aux fraises', excellente idée en théorie, mais beaucoup trop sucré, on goûtait à peine les fraises tellement il y avait du sucre! Dommage: ils sont parvenus à gâcher deux excellents produits du Québec, le poisson du bas du fleuve (je présume) & les fraises de l'île d'Orléans.
3 patrons for evening meal. Not that hungry so ordered appetizers. 2 orders of onion soup. It was very sweet, not a negative. Unusual to us, the cheese was on toast beside the soup bowl.
The other person had duck carpaccio with a truffle sauce. It was perfect!
Un souper d'anniversaire mémorable! La nourriture est excellente & le service est impeccable. Un merci spécial à Mathieu. Vous avez su rendre notre soirée inoubliable. Merci à toute l'équipe!

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!
