Review Summary

Le Chic Shack is a highly regarded destination in the heart of Old Quebec, known for its vibrant atmosphere and prime location near the Château Frontenac. The restaurant consistently impresses visitors with its juicy, high quality burgers and unique takes on poutine, which feature hearty, cubed potatoes and flavorful, slow cooked toppings. Guests frequently praise the extensive selection of refreshing, house made sodas and decadent milkshakes, particularly the salted maple variety. While the venue is often busy, resulting in potential waits, the service is generally described as friendly, fast, and accommodating. The combination of fresh ingredients, creative menu options, and a beautiful setting makes this a popular and satisfying choice for a casual, gourmet meal while exploring the historic city.

It was great to find a place with vegetarian options of poutine. We tried the Masala Poutine, loved it! The chicken & veggie burgers were flavorful, & the regular Verde salad was a good portion & felt even more complete with the addition of a veggie patty. The service was good, though we had to actively flag down someone multiple times.

Le Chic Shack is an absolute must-visit when you're in Quebec City.

Yes, there will likely be a lineup. & yes, it's worth every minute of the wait.

We've been here more than once, & the food has always been consistently delicious. The burgers are juicy, flavorful, & exactly what you want after a day of exploring the city. & the poutine? Absolutely fantastic. When you're in Quebec, you have to have poutine, & this place does not disappoint.

& then there's the milkshakes… so good! The perfect sweet treat to round out the meal.

What I love most is that despite being popular & busy, the quality has remained consistent every time we've visited.

If you're visiting Quebec City & wondering whether the lineup is worth it, the answer is yes. Get in line, be patient, & enjoy. Your stomach will thank you later! 😋🍔🍟🥤

Le menu était alléchant. L'accueil & le service très sympathiques. Par contre ma poutine baignait dans 2 cm de liquide (au fond du bol). Le cuisinier avait mis trop d'eau en diluant la poudre de la « sauce maison ». Du coup c'était pas très bon, surtout le fromage devenu caoutchouteux avec le liquide. Je goûtais ce plat pour la première fois, pas prête d'y revenir !

If you are looking for poutine this is not the place. Ordered the braised beef poutine & it was a soupy mess. They don't even serve the poutine with fries, despite serving fries with the burgers! Burgers were better than the poutine. I also thought it was overpriced, but you are in tourist town

Poutine qui n'était pas vraiment une poutine…. sauce figée & froide (on aurait dit une compote au roast beef), patate déjeuner au lieu de frite. Le burger était correct, la viande était bonne & les bacon aussi ainsi que la salade. J'espère sincèrement que la poutine était une erreur sinon appeler pas ça de la poutine car ça fait honte au Québec. 3/10 overall

Le Chic Shack has the most out of this world authentic poutine! The potatoes were crispy under a heavenly smooth sauce with beef, pickled onion & of course cheese curds galore!

This was truly authentic, made from fresh potatoes, cheese curds & slow cooked shredded seasoned beef on top. The portion size they serve is generous. They have small & large bowl sizes with plenty of other poutine choice varieties.

I also had a simple traditional burger which was delicious & a nice compliment with the poutine. The bun was super fluffy & the special sauce complimented the meat nicely.

Good burger joint with a great view. Veggie burger available is quite good, which I had, & partner said their bison burger was also delicious. The poutine range is very good, we had a mushroom one (veggie) which was quite different to other poutine we have tried but still really delicious. I would have happily eaten the large option as a meal on its own (we had the small to share with our burgers). Views onto the big chateau are really nice to enjoy while eating. Staff were really helpful & friendly & the service was nice & fast & polite. Was very happy to tip them at the end.

We popped in since we were staying at the Château Frontenac & it was fairly busy because of the upcoming St. Patrick's day parade. The staff were very accommodating as we had a sleeping baby in a stroller & made it very easy for us to sit & grab a quick lunch.

We menu is interesting enough. Very heavy, for the most part, but broad enough. My only disappointment was no children's menu. Even just a small portion of salad with a sliced chicken breast would have worked well. But we were able to manage.

Our food was fine. I had a chicken sandwich that was nicely prepared & had interesting flavors. My husband had a poutine bowl that he really enjoyed & I agree, the sauce was excellent. I wasn't overly impressed with my cocktail but that's fine. It was still barely noon :)

We'd stop in here again if we were in the area & needed something quick. Particularly because the staff were so great.

We stumbled Shack upon the Le Chic Shack accidentally & what a Win. We just finished driving from Nova Scotia & we're starving & we're doing a tour of old Quebec city found this wonderful place to eat which I would highly recommend for anyone, Two of us had the breakfast poutine, which was very filling & very tasteful & the other two had the Americano breakfast. The coffee was excellent & The fresh fruit Blueberries & strawberries, chopped up served With the breakfast Was a wonderful dessert & very fresh. Very accommodating staff even loaned us a charger for our phone, & the chef spoke English very well as well as the waitress. Can't wait to come back again here someday.
