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.

Les déjeuners sont devenus chers partout... cependant, le restaurant sert des mets faits à partir de produits locaux & du terroir. Très apprécié. Nous n'avons aucunement senti le goût de l'oursin dans la brouillade d'oeufs aux oursins, mais c'était délicieux, très fin & bien présenté.

The food & ambience are excellent & unique, but the staff were exceptional. This is the first time I have heard friends who are trying to practice French asked if they would like their service in French or English, as opposed to switching to English as soon as some difficulty or English intonation is noted. The gentleman, whose name unfortunately escapes me, providing service for Saturday brunch did this & absolutely made their day by doing a full run down of the menu in French & continuing to work with them in French, even if it took a little longer. This was a memorably good meal & a place I can wholeheartedly recommend.

Brunch & breakfast food itself was great. The menu is quite unique - I can't say I've had a beet based eggs Benedict before, but it was great!

J'avais de grandes attentes pour ce restaurant dont j'avais entendu tant de bien, & je n'ai absolument pas été déçue. Un des meilleurs brunchs de ma vie!

Tout était incroyable, du début à la fin. Les oeufs bénédictine étaient tout simplement époustouflants, parfaitement exécutés & pleins de saveurs.

Une expérience mémorable qui donne envie d'y retourner pour découvrir les autres menus de la journée.

Souper entre chums vraiment réussis. Le service est irréprochable. La présentation des plats est particulièrement réussis. Tout était savoureux sans être trop fancy. La carte des drinks mérite d'être consulté même si t'es plus Bière. Le Smaug c'est un must. J'ai trouvé que les prix étaient très raisonnable considérant la qualité du service, des plats & de l'ambiance. Pas trop fancy, pas d'étiquette, super friendly. Je le recommande à tous le monde. J'y retournerai sans hésitation.

Ce restaurant était autrefois un classique du quartier St-Jean-Baptiste. J'y vais habituellement une fois par année, pour souper. Malheureusement, les prix ont augmenté... & les portions sont si petites qu'on a bien failli aller manger une poutine par la suite ! & que dire du service, mécanique, robotique & sans chaleur aucune. Il y a maintenant tellement de belles options pour manger dans ce quartier que je dirais : essayer un autre endroit !

Ce restaurant est une gemme trouvée dans Québec! Le repas était savoureux ; les arômes délicats, les textures variées. Il s'agit du meilleur brunch goûté au Québec! Le lieu est magnifique & le service est chaleureux & attentionné. Une pépite pour les épicuriens. Déjà hâte d'y retourner.

J'adorais ce restaurant il y a dix ans… J'ignore ce qui s'est passé depuis mais c'est rendu plus qu'ordinaire. Définitivement un des pires déjeuners que j'aie mangé. Je pense qu'on se fie un peu trop au fait que les touristes ne reviendront pas anyway. J'éviterais tout ce qui est viande, à votre place, à moins d'aimer le gras avec un peu de viande après…

Ate here on Good Friday. Made a reservation over a month ago-visiting from out of town & wanted a nice restaurant for dinner that was close to our hotel, but could also be appropriate for our 8 year old son.

Did not disappoint. Shared veal shank & the catch of day (cod). Also got dessert. Son had homemade iced tea & husband & I split wine. Server, Sebastian, was lovely.

We were seated in the back room. Front space had bar spots & was more busier. Back was also filled, but also a small space. Definitely want a reso.

I comment more on it later, but worked for us as a family since we knew our son would be fine sharing these type of dishes. Plus we ate snacks at hotel lounge ahead of time, so there wasn't any kid hunger pains. If you bring kids, I'd say bring two max. Since it's not a kid place, but could work if you know your family.

Overall very happy with our choice & money spent. Merci!
