I dined here once in 1999 while on vacation from Boston. We loved the vibe & the people. We came for a late dinner & the place was slow. The accordion player basically gave us a private show. For the past 27 yrs I've been recommending your restaurant to anyone I know traveling to Quebec. Any who tried it have thanked me, as they also had an amazing time. Thank you so much for the delicious meal all those years ago, & for taking care of all my family & friends who have visited since. I told them you are worth a visit, & you continue to make me a man of my word. Peace & love from Boston, MA.

What a lovely experience! Wait staff are so engaging, the accordionist added a wonderful fun experience. Absolutely would return. Although I spoke no French everyone made us extremely welcome. English readily available.

Party of 8 looking for a place to eat dinner. 2 other restaurants turned us away due to size but this place tried their best to accommodate us, which was already a win in my eyes. Cosy restaurant, lively atmosphere with live accordion music. Friendly & attentive staff, ensuring everything was good, which it was. The only thing I could advise the restaurant is to check the complementary bread & butter served, about a third of the basket had ROCK HARD bread 😅. But the wonderful service by your staff completely made up for it!

I don't think this restaurant should go beyond a three star rating. Ordered the French onion soup & the manicotti.

The soup was not very tasty & the manicotti was not good either. Both seemed to be thawed & reheated & served with hope that no one would notice.

Restaurant very crowded.

The employees moved the table a bit closer to our which was not a great idea because then the server back end was always in my face

The accordion player was talented but it was to much of it .. ruining the atmosphere

Very crowded & kind of noisy place to eat.

I guess its a lesson learned

My son & friend wanted to try this restaurant on our vacation. My friend & I had the chicken Parmesan. My son had the muscles & fries. Everything was delicious. The waiter & waitress was wonderful & hospitable. We felt very welcome. They even had a musician playing the accordion & it was the middle of the week. I will always remember this place. It was charming & beautiful.
