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.

Nous avons reçu un service vraiment exécrable. Nous étions un groupe de 6 & nous avons commandé 4 petites poutines & deux burgers pour emporter. Quand la commande est prête nous demandons au serveur de nous donner les plats individuellement sans sac brun pour emporter toute la commande. Cette demande toute simple a apparemment suffit à désorganiser toute l'équipe au point où le serveur est allé voir le gérant pour dire que nous étions'chaotiques' sans rien nous dire à nous directement. Nous avons simplement demandé de nous donner la commande sans sac... Nous attendions donc que le serveur nous remette les ustensiles avant de quitter & voilà que ce qui m'apparaît aux premiers abords comme un gardien de sécurité, mais qui est en fait le gérant de la place, tente de mettre en oeuvre ses petites techniques d'intimidation ordinaire en nous ordonnant de'circuler immédiatement'. J'ai tenté de lui expliquer calmement, malgré toute l'attitude éhontée qu'il démontrait à mon égard, que nous attendions le reste de la commande & quelques fourchettes. Il persiste en m'indiquant le chemin de la sortie & me précise qu'il ira nous porter les fourchettes à l'extérieur. C'est quand même déplorable, voire même frustrant, d'avoir ce type de service. Je crois que c'est à l'équipe de travail en place & donc le gérant qui se prend vraiment très au sérieux, d'organiser leur milieu de travail en fonction des différents services qu'ils offrent, service aux tables, takeout, pick-up, etc. C'est à eux d'organiser les va & vient de la clientèle dans leur espace & je n'ai pas à me sentir mal de passer une commande takeout & d'attendre celle-ci dans le resto. Visiblement nous n'étions pas son type de clientèle préféré & je me demande bien pourquoi. Je regrette d'avoir mis les pieds dans cet établissement.

Love the food & service every time that I am in town. The mushroom poutine is to die for.

F.Y.I., if you want to try the hot sauce, the original is probably the one to go.

First time trying poutine, & I quite enjoyed it! I got the'La Forestière' & a chocolate milkshake. Both were delicious, & the portion sizes were large (even the'small' was very filling). I would recommend to anyone wanting poutine, first time or many times, as they have a variety of flavors.

Très bonne poutine originale (pas de frites mais morceaux de pommes de terre écrasées), emplacement idéal devant le château Frontenac

?5 Stars for the location, 3 Stars for the poutine. ?If you're a foodie on a quest for the city's absolute best cheese curds, you might want to keep searching. However, if you want the best seat in the house, this is it. It is the perfect spot for a first-timer to sit down, grab a meal, & take in the Fairmont Le Château Frontenac-arguably the most beautiful landmark in Canada. It's definitely worth the stop for that atmosphere alone!
?The food itself is a bit of a mixed bag:
?The Poutine: The fries are closer to a homemade breakfast potato style-still very tasty, but not your traditional homestyle fries do you expect to hive in Quebec city or the province or Quebec. If you're looking for that classic'greasy spoon' crunch, this isn't quite it.
?The Burgers: These were the surprise highlight! Absolutely delicious, juicy, & well-prepared.
?Final Verdict: Come for the iconic view of the Chateau, stay for a burger. & maybe try Poutine somewhere else unless you're really hungry & it's still better than any other poutine in Canada outside of Quebec.

La meilleure poutine que nous avons mangé. Un vrai régal & des portions généreuses. Accueil chaleureux. Nous avons passé un excellent moment avec en surplus une vue imprenable sur le château Frontenac. Nous recommandons sans hésiter.
