Check the menu on the website, NOT on Google maps, needs some serious updating. The food is mid & not worth paying tourist prices. The Poutine & roasted duck was amazing though, I will admit that!
Super service & super nourriture! Clairement une valeur sûre où vous en avez pour votre argent (en tenant compte qu'on est dans le vieux Québec). On a tellement aimé ça le midi qu'on y est même retournées le soir! Le midi, j'ai commandé la truite fumée sur toast & c'était délicieux, très frais. Le soir, j'ai mangé la truite arc-en-ciel, tout aussi savoureuse! Les légumes qui l'accompagnaient étaient délicieux & sa cuisson lui donna une texture superbe! En tant que personne qui aime manger frais & santé, c'est rare d'avoir autant de choix savoureux donc c'est clair que j'y retournerai. Bref, staff serviable & souriant, nourriture délicieuse & prix acceptables, je recommande! (:
Without a doubt, a hidden gem in the heart of Quebec City. We came with high expectations, & they were completely exceeded. It's an unpretentious place with an amazing vibe, a cozy atmosphere, & outstanding food.
We stopped by for breakfast & ordered Le Patron breakfast sandwich with egg & bacon. The bacon was absolutely spectacular, & the sandwich was perfectly put together with homemade mayonnaise & bread that complemented every bite.
To finish, we shared the French toast & added an extra side of bacon, which was definitely worth it.
Breakfast includes coffee (the only part of the experience that wasn't particularly memorable) & iced tea.
If we ever return to Quebec City, we'll definitely be back.

A very unique & antique place located in downtown with a real European town feel. The area is beautiful, clean, & well maintained, with nice options for outdoor seating. The staff was very friendly & welcoming.
The restaurant is usually very busy, & you may have to wait outside. Reservations are highly recommended because they may not allow walk-ins when it's full.
There are limited options for visitors from outside Quebec & not many choices for kids. The food was decent, but I felt the hype was bigger than the actual experience.
Overall, it's a nice place to visit for the atmosphere, location, & historic feeling, but the food experience was just average.
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.
Restaurant de bonne facture coincé entre des établissements plutôt touristiques.
Une carte de plats classiques (burgers) & moins classiques (magret de canard).
Gabrielle a été très efficace au service.
Les plats sont copieux & les saveurs sont là.
La spécialité de dessert maison est le bûcheron. Il vaut le détour. Un seul pour 2 est largement suffisant.
Thank you La Buchette & Diego, for the best dinner in Quebec City! This lovely restaurant serves fresh, delicious food made even better by the amazing staff. Everyone was so attentive. Highly recommended truffle fries & (!) they serve lions mane mushroom steak!
