Excellent poutine (with steak & curds) & local wine! The service was friendly & efficient too. The atmosphere was relaxing & it was easy to talk. Dessert was just the right size, especially after poutine.

We recently had two perfectly medium rare steaks with fries, soups & profiteroles at around 8pm on a Monday night. The whole meal was excellent. The servers were gracious, especially as we had missed the shift to daylight saving time, & patient with my hard of hearing self. I have been to this restaurant many times over the years & it has always been a pleasure!

I came here on a Sunday evening to treat myself to a nice meal while visiting the city, & left impressed not only by the food but the service as well. I ordered the steak'table d'hôte' which included a soup, salad & dessert. The soup of the day was a cream of vegetable, it had a very rich taste & velvety texture. Then came their green salad with walnuts. The lettuce leaves were so fresh & buttery, & the walnuts were firm & fresh tasting. The dressing complemented it perfectly. However, the clear star of the show was the steak. It was juicy & perfectly seasoned, & the sauce was the perfect accompaniment for the steak & fries as it brought everything together. To finish off my meal, I upgraded my dessert to a crème brûlée (it's my favorite dessert - I just couldn't resist) & it was divine. I heard that perfect'crack' when I hit the top of the dessert with the back of my spoon. It was exactly what I expected it to be. The young man who was serving me was extremely polite & kind & gladly accomodated my requests.
To summarize, for the price you will get a high quality meal in a nice setting paired with attentive service.
Highly recommended.

Fun place but I'm sorry that was the most tasteless beef I've had for sometime. Perhaps I should've ordered one of those standard 3 different size beef orders. Maybe different cut I don't know. I ordered the one which arrived on top of fries, cheese curds & sauce/gravy. Thin small slices of some beef. Maybe best to stick with the main item beef selection.

Amazing restaurant in old Quebec City. Food was amazing, that sauce you get on your steak is the reason I go there everytime I pass through QC. Staff were super friendly & bilingual. The

Best food I've had in Canada. Service amazing. I told them I was lactose intolerant & they gave me food on the menu I could eat. The steak & fries were stunning. Then the dessert a lactose free creme brulee was out of this world. Im not just saying that. It was. I will be back.
