Review Summary

La Nouvelle France receives mixed feedback, with many visitors praising the beautiful atmosphere, the ideal location near the Château Frontenac, and the pet friendly policy. The French onion soup is a frequent highlight, often described as delicious and comforting, while other patrons enjoy the diverse menu options, including gluten free and vegetarian choices. However, opinions on food quality and value are inconsistent, as some guests find the meals overpriced or underwhelming compared to expectations. While many reviews emphasize the warm, accommodating service provided by the staff, a few customers have expressed discomfort regarding the pressure placed on them concerning gratuities during the payment process.

Great little cafe located on an artists alley. Lively terrace or indoor seating. Steak frites was good. Steak cooked perfectly. Onion soup was delicious as were the fish & chips. Maple syrup pue was creamy & sweet but not over sweet. Great service. Overall a wonderful quiet place for a meal.

The staff was suuuper friendly. We came in yesterday at 4:30pm, immediately got a table. The service was quick & accommodating, & the restaurant's interior was very comfy & homely. The French Onion Soup was soo delicious, perfectly hearty, warm & wholesome after a long winter's day spent outside. The cheesy baguette & salad were the perfect combination to complete the meal. I could honestly eat here every day & have been craving their onion soup again today ;,) . I wish I could come back to Quebec just to eat here again. Thank you!

We had lunch here as a big group. Ordered ribs, chicken club sandwich, onion soup & burgers. We didn't like any of the foods we ordered. Definitely pricy for what we got.

The great part is that you can bring your dog but the food is really an acquired taste. First thing wrong, the order isn't what we ordered, but mistakes do happen. One meal was completely the wrong meal altogether & another had cheese garlic bread instead of regular garlic bread. Big woop right? So we forgive the small mistakes that really, it's not a problem. However the flavours, were not good to us. I ordered onion soup, I am not lying when I tell you what I had was akin to a minestrone soup with onions, a bit of soggy bread & way too much cheese. Ordered lasagna & onion soups which came with Caesar salads. The taste is off, the color is off... Usually I will leave with my leftovers, not here. The lasagna, oh, you might like it if you've never had lasagna. It's a unique adaptation. Water taste bad, even the tea is bad...

The best onion soup I've ever had. A ridiculous amount of cheese & our dog was welcomed.

It's a nice venue, the staff are friendly but unfortunately the salad was not fresh (brown pieces of lettuce) my rice was cold & the meat was not good. The onion soup was good however.

Amazing experience-such friendly staff! . Dog Friendly-even have a dog menu for $8! Like how amazing is this!? . Food was Amazing-Both my husband & I got a French Onion Soup. We both also ordered a main- Elk Stew for myself, & my husband ordered Steak & Frites. The Elk Stew was ammmmazing! So tender. Everything about this place is great. Situated in the heart of old Quebec City in the middle of this cute alley filled with artwork from local artists. It's totally worth the try ♡ Merci for a wonderful experience.
