My partner & I were visiting from Ottawa & stopped here for a quick lunch & ended up spending over 2 hours here because the food was just incredible. We had the kindest, most inviting server, who was so extremely hospitable especially considering we embarassingly couldn't speak much French & he was so accommodating to us. I've never had salmon the way it was prepared here & the atmosphere of the restaurant was so cozy & warm, we really loved it. We are going to have to travel to Quebec again soon, just so we can eat here. The experience definitely ended our visit to Quebec on a high note. I'd highly recommend eating here!

5.0

The restaurant is located close to a residential community instead of a tourist attraction area, & that means they can serve the original way of French cooking to accommodate their local customers.

I don't expect a small restaurant would still pay attention to all the details as a fine dining restaurant would do.

Everything we tried is perfect & we will definitely go back next time.
