Rustic wood interiors and communal table settings define the atmosphere, fostering a lively and unpretentious environment for groups.

The giant latte was included with the breakfast crepe!

I had the breakfast poutine, which initially tasted very good & the presentation was great. However, I would've been happier paying less for a smaller portion. I was really forcing myself to finish to the point of discomfort, & while I could've taken it home, it would've been soggy & unappetizing. The real issue occured about 2-3 hours later... My Cochon Dingue transformed into Diarrhée Dingue. Ben non!

We were pleasantly surprised at the food here. We stopped in looking for breakfast but had to order off the lunch menu, which ended up being great. The French onion soup, duck wings, beef carpaccio, & meat poutine were all fantastic. Definitely will return for a guaranteed good meal.

Came for brunch, loved the latte! We stopped in around lunch time, expecting breakfast. The restaurant's lunch menu was good! If we visit again we will make sure to arrive in time to enjoy the breakfast menu!

A lively eatery! Fresh food offerings, excellent service from our waiter, Frederick, & the coffee was perfection. So good we ate our breakfasts here every day during our 4 days in Quebec City. Highly recommend & if there's a wait, worth the patience.

Best hot chocolate ever - Old Fashioned. Best Caesar - The Bloody Cochon with Beer. Great breakfast items, with great inclusions of cheeses.

It was truly the best breakfast I'd had in days. Hearty & varied, with Quebecois flair. We entered from upstairs but had no problem getting seated or served. Beware, breakfast ends promptly at the posted time.

Had an amazing breakfast Saturday morning here. We had the breakfast poutine & duck confit omelet (the star of the show!). Enjoyed a great latte included with our meal. I was pleasantly surprised at their special hot chocolate, which was only $2 to add to the meal. It was the best we have ever had! Creamy & perfect to save it until after the meal for a dessert. Waitress was kind & spoke English well, which was very appreciated.
