I went there for brunch with my friends while we were visiting Quebec City on the Labour Day holiday. Delicious food, great portions, & the place is super nice. Service was excellent & staff super friendly. I recommend & definitely would come back.

The food was good but the service was absolutely terrible. The waiter who took our order disappeared & we had to flag down others to ask for basic things like ketchup & a coffee refill multiple times because they wouldn't come back with them. We also had to go ask for our bill because we waited forever after our meal & no one came by to clear/ask if we wanted anything else: Definitely won't be going back:

Excellent endroit pour partager un moment convivial en famille.
Nous avons choisi le brunch, qui est à son niveau très bien garni. Certes rien d exceptionnel mais sachons lui reconnaître un goût certain.
Néanmoins dommage d avoir été rattrapés au dernier moment par la gentille dame qui nous a servis sous prétexte que nous n avions pas laissé de tips... oui désolé, néophytes français arrivés au Canada depuis quelques heures, nous n étions pas rompus à l exercice. Son ton, plutôt désagréable, a presque gâché notre expérience.
Que nenni, on a préféré se raccrocher a nos fondamentaux culinaires (tradition oblige) sans se laisser berner par tant d impolitesse.
Bref allez y... mais Mr Cochon Dingue, faites un effort si nous ne sommes pas rompus, dès le départ, à l exercice de vos tips...

Excellent. Le service est très bien. Très peu d'attente. Nous avons fait les 2 du vieux Québec & celui du quartier des spectacles de Montréal. Toujours très bien.

Le steak était bien cuit, mais toujours incroyablement tendre & délicieux. Les pâtes aux fruits de mer étaient excellentes, & la viande dans le hachis Parmentier était aussi délicieuse.

Resto très bien situé dans le vieux Québec, au coeur des festivités. Ils servent de très bons déjeuners. Assiettes copieuses, menu diversifié & pour tous les goûts. Personnel sympathique & courtois. Service rapide. Belle terrasse. Nous y retournerons assurément lors de notre prochain voyage à Québec.

Beau restaurant offrant une belle sélection de plats. L'ambiance est agréable & le service courtois. Nous avons trouvé que la qualité de la nourriture pourrait être encore améliorée, & il serait appréciable que les assiettes soient servies un peu plus chaudes..
