What can I say that hasn't already been said? Just make the reservation. This place was the highlight of my visit to Quebec. Dive bar atmosphere (I mean that as a compliment) with world class food. Maybe not even dive bar, but your friend's kitchen. Really cool group of dudes cranking out the best food imaginable on two domestic electric stoves with great tunes playing in the background. I'm so glad I sat at the bar so I could watch them at work. The ris de veau is the only permanent item on the menu & I highly recommend it! Now stop reading reviews & go make the reservation!

Super cozy & homely vibe! Really love the atmosphere of this little restaurant which made everyone feel like home, from the greeting to the menu sharing. Really had a great time here with friend over drunk. The menu changes based on the season. My friend & I really enjoyed the wine selection, lobster & asparagus appetizer, Fried fish, & Beef. The restaurant has a small kitchen but the food really warmed my heart on thr rainy day here. Will definitely come back

Upon hearing this place from chefs all over Canada, I just had to visit. Apparently most of the food on their menu changes every week. This was the first restaurant I ate at for dinner in Quebec City. We reserved seating for about 11 people & amazingly they were able to seat us all. The interior was quite small & really felt like we were inside someone's humble home. I love the play on words with the restaurant's name. Their door entrance even had a artistic Ketchup bottle mural on it. After getting seated, the waiter explained everything on the menu to us in English & they also spoke French. I was told from the menu, the ris de veau was a signature dish that they often served so I had to get it, not knowing exactly what I was eatting as the translation was known as sweet bread. I think it was veal & whatever the sauce that came with it was so delicious! I could not stop dipping my bread in the sauce. My main dish was the dore de lac, fish with shrimp. It was sweet & savory. Nothing too heavy but just right & tasted great. Dessert was a surprise. We had a super soft chocolate mousse brownie with whip cream. It was very rich but I compared to what others have gotten in the past, I would have loved to try their cheesecake. Lastly, to pair with everything we also got a local white wine Le Saint-Pépin 2021 which was light & pleasant. It's hard to believe this was all cooked in a regular home kitchen. I have never had such an experience before. I would highly recommend for a fun, mystery, dining experience with friends & enjoy the friendly neighborhood atmosphere.

One of the best culinary experiences I've ever had. We sat close to the open kitchen & were welcomed with open arms, chatting with the chefs throughout the night, explaining cooking methods & ingredients, & giving us things to try. Our server Sabri gave us some of the best service I've ever experienced. He was extremely knowledgeable & so warm & friendly. Made us amazing drinks using funky obscure liquors that left us feeling nice & buzzed as we ate our food. The food itself was insanely delicious. So fresh, using unique ingredients. The bison tartare was the best tartare I've ever had. So fatty & rich. We had the most tender sirloin steak I've ever had. Delicious fresh sea bass. They gave us an extra main - calimari steak which turned out to be the highlight of the meal. So meaty, fresh, & tender. Ive travelled & eaten in a lot of top restaurants & can honestly say this was top 5 meals of my life. Already planning our next trip to Quebec City to see what delicious fares are offered here the next time we come. Thank you for an amazing once in a lifetime experience.

We read about this in the Rough Guide to Canada. We arrived early for our booking not realising it was timed sittings. The menu was explained in French & English - cabaret style! The tables are cozy so you can end up conversing with your neighbours (as we did) The food was excellent. I had sweetbreads for the first time (brilliant!). Great food great atmosphere. The only thing that would restrict me coming again is distance from home (approx 4000 miles)
