About

The great story of a small bistro... Like a treasure buried in the heart of Faubourg St-Jean, a really well-kept secret ... the story of The Hobbit. This small, unpretentious bistro, is a reflection of the character of Tolkien, it carries with it the greatness of a story whose echo is still heard today at the cafe. Over time, it became the place where culinary delights come together in an ambiance worthy of a warm and cozy home. But beware, behind that familiar face, between the stones of this old house lurk ghosts that give The Hobbit that "je ne sais quoi" and make it a place apart from all others.

Easy to tell why they earned a Michelin Star! The breakfast food & service was really on another level, without feeling too pretentious; bring your kids, they won't feel out of place & you can order them custom smaller dishes so you won't break the bank. Want milk for your espresso? They'll bring it to you freshly steamed with perfect microfoam. Wow!

Nice experience. The breakfast is slightly basic & the toasting on the bread is very inconcostent. Overall a good experience.

My husband & I ended up eating breakfast here twice on our recent trip because it was THAT good! Can recommend the sea urchin scrambled eggs & the ratatouille with poached egg, as well as the chicken & waffles. Excellent place with lovely service & great food.

I really wanted to love this place based on Google photos, their website, & prior reviews, but it was a disappointment. (We only tried Le Hobbit for brunch, so this review only applies to that. Perhaps, the dinner is better). First, there was only one server, so we waited forever to get drinks, food, our bill etc. Service was very slow & uninviting. Second, the food was subpar, & there was way too much food on the plate. I was surprised by the serving size, & the server never warned me or I would have modified my order. The food quality was average at best. This was by far my least favorite breakfast / brunch during our visit to Quebec City. Finally, we sat for a long time waiting for the server to come back with the pay machine only for him to tell us that we need to take the bill to the bar. I really can't recommend this place, but if you go for brunch, just expect it to be a very average experience & probably not worth the money.

Le Hobbit is our new favorite spot in Quebec City. The food is excellently crafted with high quality ingredients. The menu is unique. The staff were all lovely. The atmosphere is cute. This is a perfect french style eatery that is not too abstract in form. It's just the right amount of elevated, while remaining practical as an eatery. I am so delighted have dined for their Easter dinner & then also for one of their fantastic breakfasts. I highly recommend Le Hobbit. Thank you so much. I cannot wait to come back.

The service was good, but the menu wasn't that diversified, & it didn't contain many options without porc, the prices were also high compared to other breakfast restaurants
The coffee was the best I have ever had here in Quebec, except for the coffee I wasn't that much satisfied by the food

Everything about this place is perfect. The warm welcome, attentive friendly service, best coffee, excellent food & great ambience are all so good!
We were visiting the area & ate breakfast here each day of our stay. The flavours of the eggs benedict & salmon gravlax were perfectly balanced. Do yourself a favour & try the deviled eggs too.
Thanks for an awesome breakfast experience & the best coffee in town, from some grateful Aussies.
