Unpleasant tourist food. Gloppy eggs, fruit cups looked a week old, burnt coffee. It's one of the few spots open for breakfast before 8 but you're much better off doing a cafe for coffee & croissant. Lesson learned the hard way. One star added for the fruit smoothie sample that actually tasted good.

Basic quebec food. We had salmon & the pork chop. Both were decent, but nothing special.

Nous sommes venus déjeuner hier. La nourriture était très bonne. Le service était encore meilleur. Notre serveur a pris la peine de nous rappeler qu'un 2e allongé était inclus dans le dejeuner. C'était une belle attention grandement appréciée.

Food - we went to this place twice during our stay & food was good. Servers were nice & polite both the times.
So now you wonder why do I give them 2 star review? Here I go - we went to the place for dinner. They have inside & outise seating options. As we sat inside yday for lunch, we were keen to seat outside. We were party of 3 & there was an empty outside table for capacity of 4. There were 2 old ladies ahead of us, who were'already' offered table for 2 inside. They made some noise & threatened the host (name - Anais) to leave & she immediately gave them outside table which was ideally suitable for us party of 3. She shamelessly forced us to sit inside if we want to & also denied us joining 2 small tables near the window seating. She was very rude & was not moved when we showed unwillingness. This was pure'discrimination'! This is totally unacceptable.

ANAIS - you know who we are as you saw me asking your name to my server & we are extremely pissed off with your behavior.
Management - pay attention to your nasty staff.

Of course we are not going to visit you again as we are tourists but this bad experience will stay with us forever!

Normalement j'adore ce resto les burgers sont excellents mais là quel erreur j'ai fait en commandant leur fameux grilled Cheese au Louis d'or qui contient de la compote de pomme fromage & bacon vraiment horrible ce plat tout ce que ça goûtait s'était la compote de pommes aucun goût ni de fromage ni de bacon.Après avoir de peine & de misère réussi à manger la moitié de mon sandwich j'ai souligné au serveur que je ne recommanderais plus jamais ce plat & avec raison s'était horrible & il m'a rien proposé d'autres & je l'ai accompagné d'une pinte de bière au prix nettement exagéré 11.50 plus taxe au moins mon ami a adoré sa côte levé & l'ambiance était superbe sur la rue st-jean
