Was hesitant to eat here since I thought it would be meat-heavy. It wasn't. There were vegetarian options. Cauliflower pasta dish was cooked al dente & was creamy & delicious. Friends had the cod & chips. Portions were generous. Fish was flaky & non-greasy. The poutine apparently had "squeaky" curds. Restrooms are not sex defined. They are very clean & private.

Food & service were excellent & the bowl of cafe au lait included in the price of the meal was a very pleasant surprise. The crepes stuffed with mushrooms & cheese were really good & the eggs benedict were fantastic. One of the better breakfast options in Old Quebec for value.

My son thought his burger was perfect. Not a lot of vegetarian options as you can imagine. French onion soup was great, salads just okay.

The brunch options are indeed quite enjoyable & worth a visit. However, I felt that the service lacked attention to detail. While the staff were very welcoming, there were instances where our orders were mixed up; for example, I requested scrambled eggs but received soft-boiled instead, & my friend asked for no ice in their coffee, yet it still arrived with plenty of ice. Despite these minor issues, the overall experience was positive.

I only give them five stars because Google doesn't have a six star option. The food was cooked perfectly. The ingredients were fresh & flavorful. The service was top notch with bi lingual staff. I am sure that this is where I am having breakfast tomorrow.

J'ai été agréablement surprise de savoir qu'ils ont un menu déjeuner sans gluten avec plusieurs options. J'ai mangé le bol de chia au lait de coco avec fruits frais & pacanes caramélisées. Une belle option sans gluten ni produit laitier. J'ai vraiment aimé, je le recommande.

Bonjour,
Il y a peu d'option végétarienne sur le menu & une seule végétalienne. Celle-ci impliquait de devoir aimer le cari & le coco afin de pouvoir manger un repas végétalien. Plus de choix ou d'adaptation possible serait apprécié.
Merci!
