Many visitors praise the restaurant for its warm, welcoming staff, impeccable service, and a picturesque patio perfect for people watching in the Petit Champlain district. While the majority of diners highlight the high quality of dishes like the rabbit poutine, cassoulet, and salted honey pie, some guests have noted inconsistencies in food preparation, occasional service delays, or a preference for larger portion sizes.

Food: Alright & comparable to many of the restaurants in the area, burger was average however the poutine I got could best be described as having rib sauce for gravy, far too salty & sour. Service: Managed to mess up my order & then leave me with my hand up for 15 minutes waiting for someone to come over. (The restaurant was not busy we were one of 2 tables inside & the patio was not full) Atmosphere: Average bar a little dark on the inside but not much to complain about

I love the atmosphere of this place & I got to try rabbit for the first time! It's interesting because it was very different based on how it was cooked. The sausage was too gamey for my liking, the rabbit leg tasted like chicken so I really liked that, & I enjoyed the rabbit poutine so much. The poutine seemed like the most Quebecoise thing I could have tried, & no regrets with that. The French onion soup was okay, but not great compared to the other meals.

The poutine was good with a nice seating area outside, but inside was very crowded. The beans were not cooked properly. All though this was a place with the rabbit being their main course, it was the worst out of all the dishes. The duck was amazing though.

Reserved months in advanced & we were seated immediately. We had the option of indoors or outdoors. The nook we were seated at was whimsical & had a Ghibli movie feel to it. The dishes we ordered were: Rabbit poutine (appetizer) Rabbit leg main course Squash ravioli with the add on of Rabbit As we were visiting Quebec City, our goal was to try the rabbit dishes. My partner enjoyed the rabbit leg & I enjoyed the squash ravioli with rabbit. The squash ravioli had a clear sauce to it & the rabbit pieces were scattered throughout. This pasta dish reminded me of a hearty chicken noodle soup. If I had extra appetizer bread, I would have dipped the bread in the ravioli sauce. I wish we had more room to try the salted honey pie. Great service, English friendly, & checked up on our meals/ refilled our waters at a normal capacity.
