Beautiful location with views from outside seating options. No table service. You order & then find your own seating. Delicious croque monsieur served with salad to cut the richness. Pesto pizza tasty too.

A beautiful cafe tucked away at the other side of the island, that we discovered on our road trip. The owners are warm & friendly & the food is literally heaven.

Would definitely go back for the food, the folks & the ambience whenever I'm in Quebec the next time.

We stopped coffee while driving around l'île d'Orléans. It is in a beautiful old building close to the water. The decor inside is warm & inviting. The coffee was delicious. My only'complaint' is that they described midinettes as frivolous young women, they were seamstresses in France in the 1890's.

The number one expectation of eating at a bakery (especially a French boulangerie) is FRESH bread. We ate a full lunch & ordered the assorted bread basket. What we got was toasted day old baguette bread & a piece of foccaccia. When I asked if I could possibly get a fresh slice of the beautiful type displayed in the front, I got more old bread. Aspargus is in season & abundant on the ile right now & that was a feature of the salad. I got what might be two skinny stalks chopped up, minus the tips (did the cook eat those?) The a la carte $18 sandwich was less than exciting. The pizza looked good, so maybe that's what reviews are mainly based on. We're getting tired of paying premium prices for cafes that maximize profits by cutting corners. When you charge high, just do better. It's good karma.
