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.

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.

Únicamente probé las colas de castor, honestamente demasiado dulces para mi gusto, pero si te gustan los churros o los wafles y el dulce es la opción perfecta de postre para ti.

I don't blame customer service as I was respectfully refused & replied. I can tell that they finish at 10PM (Sundays) & the store closes at 10PM so they had to deal with closing shift & cleaning before store closure. The store closes for clients at 10PM. We shall have the same service until 10PM, staff should have proper dedicated time to do their closing shift AFTER the store closes. The machines to make Beaver tails were cleaned & shut down 45 minutes before 10PM. Many clients & tourists got refused service including myself.

Delicious beaver tails & hot chocolates. Better than high end cafés in quebec city.
However, very limited room to sit & quite pricey ($30 for 2 beaver tails ans 2 hot chocolates)
