Great little find from Yelp. Service was excellent. Food was great. Excellent variety. I had the duck pasta dish was superb. Great flavor. My girlfriend had lobster risotto on special. Great flavor but risotto could have been cooked a few more minutes as it was a little chewy. Risotto is tough. That being said would Definitely go back & recommend

This cafe is on the main street in old Quebec, with sidewalk seating at lunchtime & courtyard seating out back in the evening with several different seating areas. I had spaghetti/meatballs & my husband had double salmon pasta with tomatoes & asparagus...both were very good.

1st time visit. Our party of 4 arrived a few minutes early for our 6pm reservations & we were taken to our table, near the bar area. We ordered some drinks & they arrived promptly. The Tremblay beer was very good & we ordered the Buffalo Pizza. Excellent dish. Others at the table orders a couple of pasta dishes. Excellent place as we washed down the s'mores dessert at the end. For our first real meal of the day. A nice way to end the day. I hightly recommend this place.
