We loved this place for breakfast! Staff was friendly & attentive. Food was delicious. We had the eggs benedict with ham (juicy pulled pork!) & the breakfast poutine (delish!). Also enjoyed the oatmeal! Highly recommend!

The service here was great, slightly slow with the business but attentive as could be & the food was delivered so quickly. Bloody Cachons were amazing & the breakfast poutine made my whole day!

A good quality franchise restaurant in the lower old town of Quebec (but there is also in the upper town). Large variety of choice from breakfast to lunch & brunch. Very good the soup of the day (6 $) & the poutine with local cheese. Also the french onion soup with canafian beer is good (12 $). Tap fresh water is included. The waiter was very kind with us. Good espresso coffee.

I visited this Quebec restaurant by chance, & am really glad I did! Our waiter, Laurent, was super friendly & helpful, he recommended local dishes & draft beer which I really liked. I forgot the name of the liver dish, but it was absolutely delicious. I also tried the charcuterie board & it paired perfectly with the beer. I am not a fan of poutine, so I am not going to comment on this dish except to mention that the portion is huge.
