Always a delight to eat here. The staff are so friendly & happy. The food is excellent. I had avocado toast, which was beautifully done, with a nice little dish of fresh fruit & a nice unexpected amuse-bouche when I sat down. Really an experience that's hard to beat if you want a delicious breakfast for under $20

We went on Sunday, just in time for lunch. So much a cute space, tight quarters, but we didn't care. It added to the atmosphere. Breakfast poutine, grilled cheese & cocktails to start our time in Quebec City off. Our waiter was lovely & helpful. Didn't correct our terrible attempt at speaking French & played along. Would absolutely return!

Food is decent. Portions are alright, although when you get the big breakfast plate you get a lot of little things & not a lot of breakfast meats. It's quite filling, service is a bit slow but they're usually slammed. Would recommend to go to say you've been, but wouldn't necessarily go back unless I had too cause it's super busy.

I would like to give this resturant a 3.5 out of 5, but the option is not available. For an appetizer we had a sharing plate with duck wings, fried cheese & a poutine. The duck wings were very good. The poutine & fried cheese were ok. For our main dishes we had duck breast & seafood linguini. I am sorry to say but the duck breast was very chewy & I was disapointed with it. The sweet potato purée underneath it was actually quite good though. The seafood linguini was good but we have had better at other resturants. That being said the pear cocktail was very good! We ended up getting 2. Dispite the above we still gave dessert a shot. We had the crème brûlée & it was good, but again, I have had better elsewhere. The location is very convenient if you are visiting ville de Québec as a tourist. The service was very very good. In the future I would only go back to try breakfast. Something that initially concerned me was the size of the menu, which makes it difficult to keep the quality of each dish high. My reccomendation would be to remove some options & choose to focus in a certain area.

I went here for both breakfast & dinner, & the food at both was great! Service was also very friendly. Depending on what time of day you're going, I'd recommend making a reservation. Would definitely recommend!
