About

A stone's throw from the Place de Paris, a place to quench your thirst is the Maison Leber. With a breathtaking view of the St. Lawrence River, cross beyond the closet to discover a warm and cozy place where you'll fall under the spell of hospitality, an array of cocktails and the flavors of mouth-watering dishes.

“Ici, l’espace d’un moment, on oublie terres hostiles, misères et épidémies. Une seule devise fait la loi: fraterniser, festoyer et se réchauffer le coeur et l’âme pour oublier les rigueurs de l’hiver et les tracas de la survivance. Santé!” [Jacques Boisdon - 1ᵉʳ aubergiste de Québec, 1648]

As a former bartender & a current home bartender, it was a little pretentious for me. Most ingredients on the menu are unrecognizable & they only use Québec sourced ingredients in their drinks. That's a great idea actually, if Québec produced better ingredients, to be honest. A bar with no lemons or olives is wild to me. I tried their namesake drink the Vieux Carré & it was ok. I am a big Old fashioned & Manhattan guy but this was a little in between, but without the great bourbon flavor those present, as it was a Canadian rye. My friend ordered an interesting drink with olive oil, pepper & other ingredients. We felt it was very interesting to try, but not something we would want to drink again & definitely not refreshing. Overall the ambiance was amazing & the bartenders friendly & knowledgeable, but the drinks are not great, especially for the high prices. I'd appreciate more classic ingredients, but maybe that's just me...

Part of the Michelin star restaurant, the bar section has good vibe. Staff are friendly & professional. David served us & his kind attitude made our drinks more memorable.
We had Birdie & Vieux Carre from premium list,
We also ordered Cuban sandwich with homemade mustard. It was as tasty & good as ones you get in Cuban, Key West, …
I'd say in our top 5 Cubano we ever had.
Drinks are not using natural citrus but using replaced ingredients from Quebec to inmate the flavor, scent, & taste.

We went to Vieux-Carré after we ate at L'Orygine on March 29, 2026. The cocktails were really good & well developed. We ordered a Cubano sandwich which was the best I've had so far. The bar is beautiful & the ambiance is good. On another note, they refer to it as a speakeasy; however, it is not underground & soundproof as a speakeasy normally is. Also, there were two gentlemen talking/laughing quite loudly, which is not typical for a speakeasy experience. Would still recommend anyone to visit. Cheers!

On s'y sent privilégiés. Une expérience exceptionnelle. Service impeccable, attentionné & passionné. Nous avons fait de véritables découvertes avec des cocktails inédits, créatifs & parfaitement exécutés. On sent le souci du détail & l'envie de faire vivre quelque chose de différent aux clients. Un bar qui se démarque clairement à Québec. À refaire, encore & encore. Sans hésiter.

Would recommend. Great speakeasy style bar tucked away inside the restaurant. It's easy to find & the host will walk you there. Bar is a cozy & dimly lit which goes with the vibe of the place. There are a few high top tables & rest of the seating is bar seating. You can also order food here but don't think it is the same menu as the restaurant. The drinks are great & you can tell a lot of thought has gone into creating them - the menu for the cocktails is simple which works perfects but they also know how to make the classics so either way you can't go wrong.

The place was a little hard to find, but once inside, you're greeted by an exquisite atmosphere. We didn't have the chance to try the restaurant, but we did spend some time at the bar. The ambiance is cozy & sophisticated.

As for the cocktails, it was a bit confusing - they're said to be made with local ingredients, yet many international spirits are visible on the shelves. The staff were very nice & attentive. Prices are a bit on the expensive side, but it was worth it for the atmosphere. I hope to return one day to try the restaurant.
