J'ai adoré le dimanche drag; super belle ambiance, l'endroit est cozy, la nourriture est bonne, les drinks sont abordables, & le staff sont vraiment sympathiques!
We arrived in Quebec late at night & were looking for a light meal near our hotel, so we decided to stop here. Despite the cold & snowy weather outside, the restaurant felt warm, cozy, & stylish inside.
We didn't have any drinks & only ordered soup & a salad, but the staff kindly took the time to translate & explain the French menu to us, which we truly appreciated. The food was delicious, & the atmosphere was wonderful.
My wife found the place on Google maps because it was close to our hotel. I'm so happy that she did!
The place is amazing. Our server noticed we were not from around & asked if we spoke English or French & we said we speak English but wanted to try to practice French since we've been taking classes. He was so nice & patient, very cool vibes, & we're so thankful for having had an awesome training wheels experience with him.
All the food & the drink were delicious. He created a cocktail based on a couple likes of ours. For food we had french onion & the dessert was pouding chômeur à l'érable.
Will definately want to come back!
Best meal we had in Quebec City & one of the highlights of our trip! Amazing food (we had the pizza & cabbage rolls), perfect portion sizes, very kind staff who explained the menu in English, & a reasonable price even with drinks & dessert. If it hadn't been our last day in the city we would have been back to try more!
Cool bar with a fun, eclectic vibe. Seemed it was a one woman show when we were in, & she somehow managed to handle both the food & the drinks on her own. Impressive!
Neither my wife or I speak much French unfortunately, but the bartender/cook's English was good & she was very friendly.
Great spot to checkout as a tourist, but most of the people hanging out seemed like they were regulars/locals.
Everything is way more than I expected. The food is in the right portion & tastes 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼🫶🫶🫶 .
I marked this place down & will definitely visit again later in the night for some drinks. I love the vibe & decor so much!
Went here tonight with my dad & the vibes were amazing!
The waitress was really sweet despite my numerous attempts at a very butchered (Quebecois) French. All the authentic Quebecois suggestions for the drinks, dishes & desserts were super tasty. Will be trying to recreate them back home :)
All in all it was an amazing experience. Food was great, place had a great atmosphere to it & there were even some retro video game consoles to play with.
Merci pour la nourriture incroyable!
Really enjoyed the laid-back & cozy vibe of this restaurant. The menu is small & simple. We tried the lasagna, shepherd's pie, & onion soup based on other reviews, & all three were very good. The drinks were great too. Not a five-star just because nothing totally blew us away, but definitely worth a visit if you're looking for good local food in a chill setting.
Everything was 10/10. The French onion soup & Sheppard's Pie were the best I've ever had. This is more of a late night eats spot where you can eat, have a few drinks, & listen to some live music. We came on a Friday night & the atmosphere + food were a great introduction to Quebec City. Merci beaucoup!!!
