Review Summary

Queues de castor is widely celebrated as a quintessential destination for visitors and locals alike in Old Quebec, known for its iconic fried pastries and satisfying poutines. Guests frequently praise the variety of delicious, indulgent toppings and the consistent quality of the food, which serves as a comforting treat during a stroll through the Petit Champlain district. While the establishment is highly regarded for its friendly and efficient staff who manage busy crowds with professionalism, some reviewers note that the dining area can be small and crowded, occasionally making it difficult to find a place to sit.

Must try if you're visiting Canada, beavertails🦫 are a unique treat to have as a snack, but can be rather greasy & you can't eat much of it. No coriander.

Super friendly staff, the beavertail & poutine fresh & delicious, & the frozen lemonade was refreshing instead of just sugary. Plus it's a great place to sit & people watch!

'Had an amazing food trip today! The poutine was rich, crispy, & loaded with flavor, the BeaverTail was warm, sweet, & perfectly crispy, & the hotdog was simple but seriously satisfying. Every bite felt like comfort food done right. Definitely worth trying again!'

We enjoyed our BeaverDog & Hazelnut BeaverTail. The employee was friendly but neutral. It was clean inside. Good experience.

This place is in a great location in Old Québec, especially if you're walking around Petit-Champlain & want a quick sweet snack. We tried the hazelnut chocolate & the brownie BeaverTail, along with a black coffee. The desserts were warm & filling, & the combination works well if you're in the mood for something sweet.

That said, the service was not very friendly, which took away from the overall experience a bit. Considering how busy & tourist-oriented this location is, a warmer attitude from the staff would have made a noticeable difference. It's still a convenient stop because of the location & the classic Canadian treat, but the service could definitely be improved.
