The salad that was supposed to be "Boston" was a substitute. The fries were not crispy, & the steak was a little tough with very little gravy provided. The bread was not fresh. I was an avid customer at the Entrecote St-Jean in Montreal, & this is no match. Unfortunately, the Montreal restaurant is closed!

My wife had the duck confit which was very delicious. The side salad served with it was tasteless & dry. It needed more dressing for sure. I had the steak frites The steak was cooked perfectly but I thought it was a little bland, needed more seasoning Also the famous mustard sauce was not that flavorful. The matchstick fries are quite tasty although you have to ask for ketchup as it's not typically something served at a French restaurant. A table along the sidewalk was very nice.

Cet endroit me rappelle mes nombreux soupers en famille. La nourriture est toujours succulente & le personnel est chaleureux.

I was a bit cold since the AC was on max. The request to maybe tone it down was responded with a dumb look & the matter considered closed. The food was good & the pricing decent.

Don't trust the 1 star reviews. Not sure why anyone would complain about the service or the portion size (maybe they are American?) but the portions are perfect considering you get 4 courses, we left stuffed, can't imagine anyone leaving there hungry if they order the Table D'Hôte. Everything was perfectly prepared & our waiter was very nice. Would definitely return here next time I'm in Quebec City. Thank you!

I had tried making a reservation through the google maps & nothing was available until later. We went ahead & walked there from our hotel & were seated immediately outside. We both ordered the house special. If you are American like us, you won't see the word steak but it is essentially steak & fries. We ordered the smaller size as it comes with soup of the day, salad, bread, steak cooked to order with an amazing sauce & matchstick fries. There is also coffee & dessert(cream puff shell filled with vanilla ice cream & covered in chocolate sauce & almond slivers). All was delicious. I had 2white sangrias & my partner had a beer. Total before tip was $130 which is reasonable for the area & everything that you get.

2 septembre. 2 menus table d'hôtes. Un potage excellent mais la moitié d une tasse (trop peu). 1 salade avec 3 moitiés de noix (trop peu). 1 entrecôte : 1 pièce ridiculement petit. Sommes répartis frustrés & déçus. Rendement quand tu nous tiens
