We had the Onion soup , a perfect mix of layers, melted cheese on top of a soft toast, a generous amount of onions in the perfect broth. Then we had an amazing bisque with lobster, prawns & scalops in a delicious creamy sauce. Highly recommend!

Visit, Wednesday September 3, 2025, party of six for dinner. Mobility impaired accessible, seasonal patio, no on street parking during summer season. Modern chique interior, lovely sidewalk patio. Soups, Ceasars salad, & steak were excellent. Good menu & beverage selection. Staff were good & items priced moderate.

Nice informal restaurant in Vieux Quebec. We stopped for dinner on the spur of the moment, attracted by the fact that the restaurant (& its external section on the sidewalk) is not boxed in between others - thus achieving an enjoyable degree of airiness that many other central restaurants miss. Food was good, especially the soupe oignon (though we found the fish & chips a little too oily). Service was efficient & cordial, the ambiance was busy without the feeling of being oppressively overcrowded. The bill for the two of us was CA$95 plus tip. We had a pleasant time.

The service here was great, & the food came out really fast. Food was not hot & the breakfast poutine was a bit soupy. The patio was very nice.

Superbe emplacement pour repas en famille! Nous avons déjeuné & soupé en famille en mars 2025 & quelle belle expérience à chaque fois. Menu pour enfants élaboré, portions généreuses & aliments locaux. Service excellent, un coup de coeur à Québec!
