I read that this was the best tourtière in the city on about eight websites, and I’d completely agree. This place just has cool vibes, friendly servers, and exquisite washroom decor. Must add to your Quebec City bucket list! Highly recommend.

Came here on a recommendation and would totally come back. Mom and I ordered antipasto de la buche (which includes the salmon and deer tartare) and all the flavors felt like fireworks in my mouth. The best surprise was the poor man’s pudding which was exceptional with the addition of ice cream. Staff was extremely friendly and would recommend this spot to anyone looking to appreciate local cuisine

We had a delicious brunch on the patio on a beautiful, sunny Saturday morning. I recommend making reservations as it’s a busy spot. The Grandma’s omelette had amazing flavour and was perfectly cooked. The cassoulet was very rich but equally tasty. They make excellent mimosas here and the service was superb.

From the outside this seemed like a tourist trap, but we enjoyed the food, the prices aren't that unreasonable, and the staff were accommodating.

Like a Homemade Meal! We ate at La Bûche family-style and shared everything. We had the deer tartare, poutine, meat pie, pea soup, maple glazed pork loin, and finished with maple syrup pie. It felt like a really, really good homemade meal. I wasn’t sure about the deer tartare going in, but it ended up being my favorite thing. The poutine and pea soup were fine, but I wouldn’t get them again. Everything else was fantastic. I could easily eat there every day and just keep trying things. Not because everything would be my favorite, but because I trust it’s solid ingredients made well. We’ll try to go anytime we visit. The pie was also crazy good.

We had an incredible experience at La Bûche! As first-time visitors to Quebec City, we were a bit overwhelmed by the menu, but our waitress, Calypso, was absolutely wonderful. She was so sweet and took the time to explain the highlights and suggest the best dishes for us. ​We tried the poutine, the duck wings, and the pudding, and every bite was delicious. Even the mocktails were fantastic! We truly loved the food and the warm hospitality. Calypso made our visit truly special—highly recommend!

We were visiting old Quebec City during a holiday weekend, and we wanted a uniquely Quebecois dining experience, not sure if this fit the bill but we were so glad we found this place! There was a 10 min wait for a table, but that wasn’t all that bad on a very busy Sunday afternoon. We ordered the shepherds pie and foie gras et poor man’s pudding. Both dishes were incredible. The servers were super and we had an all around amazing lunch experience.

The Le Pate de Chinois was awesome! It was crowded so service lagged at one point but to their credit they rallied and acknowledged they got tied up. Can't ask for more than that. Great authentic food and atmosphere.

The pea soup was good and seasoned well, but the consistency wasn’t great. However, the Shepard pie wasn’ great due to the fact that it was not traditionally made. Moreover, the cheese in their poutine wasn’t properly melted which was quite awkward to eat as chunks, highlighting the overly salty gravy. Additionally, some fries were just raw, cut potato that wasn’t fried at all! The meat in the meat pie was good, but the hollow bun was too crispy. The service was okay, a bit of communication struggles as we were predominantly English speakers. Overall, not much to point out other than their lack of food quality.

SO good! The atmosphere was fantastic (the decor, the music)- it all felt very Quebecois. The food and the service were superb. I had the smoked trout crepe and it was delectable. If you’re in Quebec City, do yourself a favor and visit. I’ll be back for sure when I’m lucky enough to be back in that gorgeous city.
