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. Despite the high demand and occasional wait, most experiences are described as warm and memorable, making it a highly recommended stop for those with a sweet tooth or anyone looking for a classic Canadian snack.

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!

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

Un petit péché mignon cette friandise qu'est la queue de castor. Service au comptoir rapide, votre pâte frite & sucrée du style churros vous est remise avec une des nombreuses généreuses garnitures sucrée proposées. Peu de tables disponibles mais la dégustation de la gâterie se fait facilement debout, au grand air… s'il ne fait pas trop froid. Pour se réchauffer, boissons chaudes ou poutines express sont aussi préparées. Rien de gastronomique mais la queue de castor reste un collation réconfortante pour les petits & grands.
