Un dessert rapide, généreux & goûteux dans le magnifique quartier du Petit Champlain. Très touristique, mais c'est une institution & le service est courtois & rapide malgré la longue file de clients & peu de personnel derrière le comptoir. Beaucoup de variétés de pâtisserie, de hot-dog & de poutine. Encore bravo & si vous voulez vous sucrez le bec pour un bon rapport qualité/prix, c'est la place! 🦫🍫

Un classique de Québec, la queue de Castor : cela ressemble un peu à une pâte à pizza recouverte par exemple de chocolat, de pommes caramélisées, de pistache. Un dessert bien gourmand. Possibilité de prendre aussi une poutine, hot-dog queue de Castor, etc. Tables disponibles en intérieur & extérieu

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.

Ma visite des Queues de Castor dans le Vieux-Québec a été une expérience délicieusement mémorable. Ces pâtisseries en forme de queue de castor sont une véritable institution culinaire dans la région & une délicieuse façon de savourer une douceur typiquement québécoise. Dès mon arrivée, j'ai été accueilli par l'odeur alléchante des pâtisseries fraîchement cuites. Le kiosque était animé & l'ambiance était conviviale, avec des clients impatients de déguster ces délices sucrés. Les Queues de Castor étaient fraîchement préparées devant moi, ce qui ajoutait à l'expérience gustative. Le choix des garnitures était varié, allant du classique sucre & cannelle aux options plus créatives comme le chocolat fondu, les fruits frais & les noix. La pâte était parfaitement cuite, légère & croustillante à l'extérieur, mais moelleuse à l'intérieur. Chaque bouchée était un pur délice, & je me suis retrouvé à savourer chaque instant de cette expérience culinaire. À noter qu'il n'y a pas vraiment de place pour s'asseoir à l'intérieur. Il faut donc manger dehors ou dans sa voiture. Il est aussi possible de se faire Uber Eat le tout! En résumé, les Queues de Castor dans le Vieux-Québec sont un incontournable pour les amateurs de desserts. Que vous soyez de passage dans la région ou que vous soyez un habitant local, je vous recommande vivement de faire une halte à ce kiosque pour savourer une douceur traditionnelle québécoise. C'est une expérience gustative que vous n'oublierez pas de sitôt!
