La grande histoire d'un petit bistro sympa…Comme un trésor enfoui en plein cœur du Faubourg St-Jean, un véritable secret bien gardé … l'histoire du Hobbit. Ce petit bistro sympathique et sans prétention de la rue St-Jean, est à l'image du personnage de Tolkien. Malgré la hauteur de ses trois pommes, ìl porte en lui toute la grandeur d'une histoire dont l'écho se fait entendre encore aujourd'hui au moment du café. Au fil du temps, il est devenu l'endroit où les plaisirs de la table se conjuguent à une ambiance digne d'un chez-soi chaleureux et agréable. Mais attention, derrière ce visage familier et son air avenant, se tapient, entre les pierres de cette vieille maison, des fantômes qui animent, encore aujourd'hui, ce petit je ne sais quoi qui fait du Hobbit un lieu à part.

A wonderful breakfast. We stumbled upon Le Hobbit on a previous trip to Québec City, but prioritized visiting here when we returned to Québec.
The food is delicious & creative. The coffee is also excellent. We found the service to also be very good. Given the quality of everything, the value is absolutely outstanding
Absolutely stunning. Came here for breakfast from out west while on a business trip. It was the coziest, warmest little restaurant with amazing staff, incredible food & that beautiful traditional French culture. 50 years this place has been running & the experience shows. I will be back.

Stumbled across this on a recent visit to the city & was really blown away. One of the best breakfasts I've had in recent memory. Service was excellent as well.
One of the best breakfasts our group has ever had. Not a single note on how to improve. We got to sit by the cozy fireplace & the staff was friendly & helpful.
Le Hobbit is a one-Michelin-star restaurant (2025) conveniently located, which is why I decided to try it for dinner. I ordered two appetizers & two main courses, & overall the flavors were well balanced & very enjoyable.
The foie gras terrine with brioche, sunflower seed butter, & blueberry-lavender jam was interesting & unique. I especially loved the lavender jam, but at $14.50 for two small slices of bread, it felt overpriced & not particularly worth it.
The second appetizer, fried oysters in a homemade buffalo-style sauce with dill pickles, blue cheese & yogurt espuma, & fresh cucumber, was visually appealing & offered an unusual yet refreshing combination of flavors, though the oysters themselves were on the smaller side.
For mains, the seared catch of the day with butternut squash was excellent. Every element on the plate worked beautifully together-the fish was fresh & not fishy at all, the squash sauce was rich & comforting, & the crispy fried onions added a very satisfying texture.
The highlight of the evening was the seared duck breast. The presentation was elegant & the flavors were great; the only minor downside was that the duck was slightly chewier than expected.
Overall, Le Hobbit is definitely worth trying when visiting Quebec City. I highly recommend both their dinner & breakfast menus.
Amazing spot to grab breakfast! Very fun & different options for breakfast. The chicken & waffles stole the show. Amazing flavours, & very filing! Highly recommend to check it out if you're visiting Quebec City.
Loved this quaint little spot for breakfast! Kind, accomodating service. The food was tasty & affordable which is always a great combo. Loved the cozy, classy aesthetic as well. Will likely be my breakfast spot on the daily when I visit again!
