Jeudi pm sans réservation durant le carnaval de Québec nous avons réussis a avoir une table pour 3.

Table d'hôte a partir de 43$, cuisson tel que commandé, frite croustillantes non graisseuses avec une petite sauce.

Potage du jour excellent ainsi que la petite salade.... sans oublier le dessert & café 😋😋😋😋

On mérite de se gâter quelques fois & c'est un endroit idéal

The steak was very good. My girlfriend ordered the duck salad which was underwhelming & needs a second look.

Reserved our table well in advance (>1 week). Attentive service & quality food at a reasonable price around the middle of the Old City. Ordered their Table D'Hôte du Soir & the steak frites were an obvious highlight. The accompanying salad tasted very fresh, while the soup was also decent. Good experience overall. Would recommend!

Cuisine ordinaire soupe qui n avait aucune saveur plutôt fade,steak trop cuit & qui a été attendri ce que je déteste cela me roule dans la bouche,sauce trop huileuse qui ne goûtait rien à vrai dire je n aurais pas su qu elle était à la moutarde ,salade la plus simple que j ai vu & les profiteroles 2 boules crème glacée dure comme de la roche à l intérieur du chou nappé sauce au chocolat qui ressemble à celle qu on achète à l épicerie pour les sundaes.Mon mari n a pas aimé non plus sauce fade sur son saumon & riz jasmin blanc avec rien d assaisonnement

Ordered the entrecôte table d'hôte (7 oz was a very generous portion given it comes with soup salad & dessert). Service was really good. We were seated in the basement next to the wine cellar, cozy & quiet compared to the bustle of outdoors seating. Steak was not out of this world but the overall meal was good. Had to ask for extra sauce but that came promptly.

Eating here was an overall amazing experience. The staff were very polite & served the food quickly, even though they had many other customers. The restaurant is on a beautiful, cozy street filled with various restaurants & shops nearby. The food was delicious, especially the bread & cheese, & the salad with Greek-style chicken which honestly reminded me of home. I would recommend dining here & would gladly return.

Wonderful food, perfect service. Enjoyed our time here. Great combination of soup, salad, steak with fries, & dessert with coffee for just over 40$.

We ordered salmon & restaurant specialty dish & asked for medium rare but got medium to almost well done. Salmon was decent.

Steak was very chewy & the sauce was ok nothing spectacular as mentioned from reviews.

Salad was disappointing - simply a few leaves + some dressing is drizzled on (the salad). Soup & dessert were okay.

Very surprised that their specialty dish received good reviews.

Food is delicious. Steak is cooked to perfection. We went here twice in three days & had the steak dinner that they are famous for - includes soup, salad, steak & homemade French fries, protiferoles with chocolate sauce & coffee. I would recommend a reservation otherwise you may have to wait quite a while.
