When a restaurant is unable to make modifications for lactose intolerance, I will stay away. They just refused to make a salad without cheese.

Had a pretty good quick dinner here on the patio with our 3YO. Caesar salad & beef tartare were good, pizza was rather disappointing (& that's saying something for pizza). Plenty of options around.

Wow! Christmas time & they deliver! First thanks to Virginia, not only because how we she seated us but also because she directed other guests without reservation to another restaurant of the chain. Bravo! Then the server & the food, we had salad & Sapristi pasta, everything delicious & the cocktails were great. 100% recommend, you will love it!

We ate here serveral times during our stay in Quebec City & the food & service were consistently good. The pizzas/flatbreads are particularly good & the Caesar salad was above average.

Many of the tables are nicely shaded by trees & have a view of Umbrella Alley. The tables closer to the road can experience a decent amount of traffic noise during busy times of day.

Once we were able to be seated on the patio right away, other times it was a 5-15 minute wait.

Ate at a patio table & loved it. The food was fabulous & the service wonderful. The pasta de la mere was very good with a nice selection of seafood. Tomato base. The Caprese salad was nice maybe a bit light on the basil but a very tasty appetizer. I had the penne arribiatta with meat balls. Very tasty with just the right amount of hot pepper taste. A truly authentic Italian meal in the art district of Quebec city.

Came here while visiting Quebec City, & unfortunately the food was mediocre. I tried various things that myself & my friends ordered. Starters - the soup of the day (cream of tomato) was actually very pleasant, but the French onion soup was bland. The onions tasted as if they hadn't even reached 50% of the carmelization process, resulting in a very dull, diluted tasting soup. Mains - the duck pasta was unique & I would recommend it. The mac & cheese was lacking strong flavour & the croque monsieur was basically a toasted piece of bread with cheese, ham, & a salad thrown on top, with a side of mediocre fries. TL;DR - food was disappointing & highly-priced so I would not recommend.

The server we had at our table did not give a good representation to the restaurant. I used to stop by this location every time I drove through Quebec. This time was very bad. I felt I was rushed by the server, did not wait for the order to get done, had to walk & talk to him twice to order my food. It was like we did not exist. I'm not sure if it was racism, discrimination or just him. The location & the quality of food was good. I had smoked salmon tartare with salad. Recommend it =)
