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.

Beaver tails for after dinner or anytime of the day! It is so good that we went back for second before leaving Quebec City. Nice cosy shop & staff prepare the warm crispy crust with your pick of toppings from maple syrup to peanut butter with smarties! A must try when in Quebec City, Canada.

La réputation des queues de castor n'est plus à faire! La recette est infaillible, peu importent les ingrédients choisis en accompagnement.

Le service à cette succursale a été impeccable. Les employés ont non seulement été très aimables, mais le service a aussi été rapide.

Le décor typique de l'endroit vaut le détour.

Les prix sont raisonnables.

Je recommande cet endroit aux touristes pour découvrir cette succulente pâtisserie, mais aussi aux gens du coin parce que c'est tellement bon!!!

Dégustation de queue de castor pour parfaire notre connaissance de la cuisine locale. Au final, c'est simple, très bon & il y en a pour tous les goûts.

I would rather say just polite more than a little friendly. The Beaver tail was ok, but I guess our choice of vanilla Oreo lacked flavor.
