The staff were so nice and welcoming from beginning to end. The chocolate cake, Sangrias, poutine and the cheesecake were fabulous. Megan and Camille made us feel like part of the family. Recommend going there for all meals and don’t let the nearby construction detour you. Thanks for making our visit to Quebec City so memorable. Denise and Sheryl from Vancouver Island , British Columbia.

This is 100 yr old restaurant is our top choice in Quebec city. The beef bourgeois is definitely the best anywhere! Served with homemade tomatoe soup, or seafood linguine with their incredible ceasar salad is our favorite.

I almost didn’t try this place because of the reviews, but I’m really glad I did. The food was honestly delicious. Everything we ordered was fresh, full of flavor, and really well done. The pea soup was soooo yummy. It ended up being a great meal overall, and I’d definitely come back for the food alone. If you’re on the fence, I’d say it’s worth giving it a shot.

The best carbonara I have ever eaten! Just perfect: not drenched in oil, but not dry. Creamy and nice, not to salty, not bland. I can't describe it more. I am sad I did not have time to go back again and eat it, as I was only shortly visiting Quebec city. Service was also good, a lady welcomed me and served me timely. I will be back again next time in Quebec city! Merci!

We had lunch. Wonderful full service, patient and flexible with combining menu items. The food was wonderful, rich, buttery, creamy textures that were perfect, cheese dishes braised wonderfully. The price value was excellent for the location, much less than all the other area restaurants. I would go back every trip to Quebec. Merci beaucoup!

We stopped in for an early lunch, and were very content. The food was delicious and comforting — the pea soup was the best I’ve had in Vieux-Quebec. Our server was attentive, and the vibes are very warm and comfortable.

Ourania was our waitress! She was so polite and patient while we ordered. My family and I had the best time here and the food here rate a 100000/10. Hands down the best! Bit pricey but food and service is exceptional!!

We found this restaurant intriguing as it has a classic atmosphere. Breakfast was tasty. The first time we went on the weekend the wait staff were pleasant and friendly. The washroom needs a token.
