Le Chic Shack offers a memorable dining experience in the heart of Old Quebec, consistently praised for its flavorful, gourmet burgers and unique poutine variations. Many diners appreciate the house-made sodas, milkshakes, and crispy, well-seasoned fries, alongside a welcoming and efficient service team.

Whether enjoying a vegetarian option or a classic meaty favorite, guests often find the food to be fresh, satisfying, and well-suited for a casual yet high-quality break during their city explorations.
Incredible food, our burgers were delicious. I recommend the chips over the fries. The Salted Caramel Maple milkshake & our custom sodas were delicious as well. It took a while for someone to take our order & I had to get up & ask someone to bring us a check, after some failed attempts to get employee attention. The food was worth all of that.
Salted caramel maple whiskey milkshake was awesome. Bison burger was great, but I feel like it could have been better (the meat & the buns. Either make a smash burger or don't cook it so thoroughly. The fillings were perfect). I like that they make their own sodas although I didn't get to try them. My biggest issue is that the price is insane. Spent $50 for a burger & drink for 1 person, didn't even get fries
After experiencing breakfast & lunch, I can say this is pretty good. Not amazing but a solid choice if you're anywhere in the area close by.
Food choices are great & they really do their best to service & quality. Highlights are the unique takes of their sodas/juices. Try adding the syrup & salt chips on your combo! It's really good!
Pirce-wise I don't believe we have been ripped off or overpaid, it's certainly right for the price & burger you get here.
Les burgers sont excellents & d'une grosseur normale. Les frites étaient bonnes & les sodas maisons sont bien (personnellement je mettrais plus de sucre). La poutine classique n'était pas une poutine : des patates grelots avec de la genre de sauce au vin & du fromage en grain. Étrange, pas tellement bon.
Puisqu'on a mangé à côté de la cuisine ouverte, l'ambiance était bruyante & on est ressorti en sentant la friture à plein nez.
Je recommande surtout pour les burgers, mais essayez de vous asseoir dans le palier du haut, plus loin de la cuisine.

Deuxièmement visite : Burgers toujours décadents! Limonade délicieuse. Les tables sur le bord des fenêtres, donnant directement sur la rue, offre la meilleure vue sur la rue, les passants & même un bout du Château.
Le Chic Shack offers a genuinely satisfying experience, especially for those looking for a quality burger in a popular, high-energy setting.
The Food & Drink: We tried two of their classics, Le Chic & Le Shack. The quality of the ingredients was certainly good; the meat & chicken quality was high & both were cooked well. We also indulged in a fun boozy milkshake & a refreshing house soda, both of which were delicious additions to the meal.
The Vibe & Experience: The restaurant itself is a nice, popular spot. For lunch, it was crowded, busy, & loud, creating a high-energy atmosphere. While the noise level was definitely noticeable, we were still able to hold a conversation. We were definitely happy with our visit overall.
The Value: While the food quality is excellent, we did feel that the price point didn't quite justify the overall service or experience. Perhaps our specific order choices didn't fully showcase the best value the menu offers, but it's something to consider for budget-conscious diners.
In summary, Le Chic Shack is a solid choice for a high-quality, gourmet burger, but be prepared for a slightly higher bill & a very lively environment.
Chic Shack is a must-try! The fries are insanely good, crispy & full of flavor. The hamburger was juicy & fresh, & the milkshake-absolutely delicious! They also have a great selection of sodas. Chill vibes! Definitely coming back!
Went for lunch, insanely busy as its peak tourist season. Waiters were very nice & hardworking. We got our food relatively quick however we ordered more items after we got our meals including water for multiple people (we were a table of 6) & the water took a while to come. One person didn't even get any water despite asking. This is totally okay as it was busy & it is easy to miss one or two things here & there.
How good is the food? Depends on what you get. The milkshakes, soda, & fries are fantastic. A regular order of fries is a very generous portion. The vegan poutine is.... weird. The sauce isn't even trying to resemble a gravy, it really seemed like it was just their tomato soup poured over some potatoes & cheese curds (i asked for regular cheese curds as i am a vegetarian, not vegan. It normally comes with tofu curds). I ate it but as i was expecting a more gravy like sauce, i did not enjoy. I wish the menu described it a little better. The portion was also weird. We had asked how the portions were & the waiter showed us the bowls they would come in. I ordered a small because it looked like a solid amount for a heavy dish. The bowl was maybe a little more than half full. Lesson learned. We got a couple regular orders of fries for the table after as a few of us were still hungry.
I would absolutely go again, but will be opting for something else for sure.
I ordered the garden burger (vegetarian) with fries & a homemade raspberry soda.
Let's start with the burger. The patty was mostly rice & pumpkin seeds-an interesting concept-but it completely fell apart. I'm not sure what the binding ingredient was (if any), but it didn't hold its shape at all. I ended up eating it with a knife & fork, which kind of defeats the purpose of a burger. It came topped with tomato, lettuce, marinated onions, & beets on a brioche bun. I had to add some Firebarns lime & jalapeno sauce just to bring it to life-it was bland overall.
Now, the fries? Fantastic. Freshly cut, cooked perfectly, & topped with a unique salty-sweet seasoning that really worked. & the homemade raspberry soda was a winner too-fresh, tangy, & not overly sweet. Both the fries & the drink were standout items.
The atmosphere was also a big plus-welcoming, laid-back, & with a cool, original vibe that made the experience feel thoughtful & intentional.
Overall, I'm giving it 4 stars. The burger needs serious improvement-if you're offering a vegetarian option, make it one worth coming back for. & only accepting credit or debit? That's a bit of a letdown in 2025. Still, the fries, the drink, & the vibe saved the day
Delicious place, enjoyed the food & homemade sodas. The fries were crispy & just right. Great stop for any tourists going on the bus tour or watching the live entertainment.
