I often go to the Hotel Monastere des Augustines & its Le Vivoir restaurant for breakfasts. Food is very fresh, plenty of fruits & vegetables, eggs, vegan spreads, chia pudding & herb teas. I like having breakfast in silence in the bright dining room.

Discover a true hidden gem! Are you craving healthy, delicious food in a serene & tranquil setting? Imagine supporting a meaningful cause while enjoying your meal. Welcome to Le Vivoir, a charming restaurant nestled inside a historic hotel that was once a monastery, boasting nearly 400 years of rich history - dig into the story of the Augustinian Sisters for more fascinating details.

The menu is impressively 80% organic, featuring a tempting array of salads & fresh vegetables that are sure to delight your palate. The buffet presents a variety of options including hearty soup, one meat dish, seafood, & tempting small desserts. All this comes at about CAD$50 per person, including tip & taxes, with a glass of wine available for around CAD$10. & if you are a tea drinker, try their tea made from 400 year-old recipe.

Getting there might be a bit tricky on your first visit - refer to my photograph for guidance, & note that walking from Cote du Palais is the way to go, as there's no access from Rue Charlevoix despite Google Maps suggesting otherwise.

Reservation is a must - recommend time 6pm.

De l'accueil jusqu'au moment du départ, notre expérience à l'hotel du Monastère des Augustines fut exceptionnelle. L'ancien & le moderne s'y marient pour le plus grand bonheur des clients, le lieu est lumineux & empreint de bonnes énergies. Les employés de l'hotel sont d'une grande gentillesse, l'hotel est parfaitement situé au coeur du Vieux-Québec & le rapport qualité-prix est excellent. L'hotel habite un intéressant musée sur l'histoire des Augustines & de l'édifice, incluant d'anciennes archives, des instruments de médecine, etc. Le petit-déjeuner était inclus & succulent, pris en silence ce qui rehausse l'expérience dans la continuité de l'esprit des Augustines. Nous recommandons ce lieu qui est plus qu'un simple hotel sans hésitation.

Loved staying here. One of the most beautiful & special hotels I've ever been to, & perfect if you need to relax & are looking for somewhere in the heart of the city. The staff were also great & incredibly helpful.

When I booked online, I recall there being some question as to which currency was being quoted. Because there are so many hoax sites on the Internet, I prefer that CAD pricing be (definitively) presented so that I know I'm not being presented USD, when expecting to pay CAD. In the end, I was satisfied with my total charges. I have already recommended your hotel to others & hope to return during the warmer months in the future.

A lovely & serene place to stay, just steps away from the hustle & bustle of Old Quebec. We stayed in mid-December while taking in the German Christmas market. It's a little cultural & historical experience, with much of the lower floor area dedicated to the museum about the Augustines. The museum was well curated & has an extensive collection of static & video displays. We stayed in a conventional hotel room with an en-suite bath. The king+ bed was soft & comfortable. Guests can also stay in a renovated nun's cell & use the shared bathrooms on the floor. Our package included the tasty & nutritious breakfast. With silent dining, it added to the peace in the whole facility. All the staff members we interacted with were friendly & outgoing & readily accommodating to our poor command of French. This would be our first choice when visiting Québec City in the future.

J'ai passé un excellent séjour au monastère & j'ai bien aimé le côté rustique du manoir. Très bien situé dans le vieux Québec, cela m'a permis d'aller marcher & visiter un peu le Vieux, sans avoir à prendre ma voiture. La nourriture est de haute gastronomie & l'ensemble de l'hôtel est très propre.

This is the most beautiful hotel I've ever stayed in. I checked in here after a poor experience at a different hotel & loved it. Thanks!

This hotel completely exceeded my expectations. I knew it was nice when I booked it, but it was even better than I thought. The whole experience of walking around the monastery, checking out the museum, the comfort & cleanliness of the room & bed (the bed is a 100/10), the breakfast, & the friendly staff, made my stay memorable. I absolutely loved it!

Quelle belle découverte! Il faut absolument s'immerger dans l'expérience, en profitant de la visite guidée de qualité irréprochable. Antoine, notre guide, qui sera très prochainement diplômé de l'Université Laval en Sciences historiques & études patrimoniales, a grandement contribué à la qualité de notre expérience. Tout était parfait, jusqu'au délicieux petit-déjeuner (plutôt un brunch par la qualité & la variété des produits offerts) pris en silence, dans la magnifique & lumineuse salle à manger. Des ateliers de mieux-être, des conférences, des concerts, des soins spécialisés, une boutique, un musée surprenant & j'en passe. Il faut prendre le temps de profiter pleinement du lieu! De plus, les rénovations majeures qui y ont été réalisées récemment font de ce lieu une réussite architecturale de haut niveau! De plus, on repart avec un tout autre regard sur la vie de dévotion de ces femmes courageuses, les Augustines, qui ont fondé l'Hôtel-Dieu de Québec, au tout début de la colonie, & ont continué s'y dévouer au fil des siècles. Nous avons déjà hâte d'y retourner. Selon nous, le meilleur lieu où séjourner à Québec. Surprenant!
