This place was a lot of fun and clearly incredibly popular with tourists who read TripAdvisor and Google reviews when searching for restaurants (yeah that included me). We had a 5pm reservation day after Christmas and there was already a huge queue of people waiting outside, freezing, with no reservation. Very atmospheric inside and the staff said they sat over 1200 people on average per night. Casual place but adventurous food at a premium price. High hipster factor but not in an obnoxious way. I think we sat at a picnic table and you could draw on any wood surface in the restaurant (which was basically every surface). Staff was excellent, friendly, helpful, knowledgeable. Portions were on the small side - that's my only comment, not really a complaint. Soups were ridiculously good. It probably sounds silly but I would have loved a steak - but that wasn't an option and I can't fault the restaurant for that. Venison tartare was a main course and was really good, but I should have ordered another course or larger app. Anyway, very cool place and just make sure you make a reservation.
Reviews / Ratings for La Buche
Food was amazing the 1hr wait was definitely worth it
Loved the chicken and waffles! I’ve never had a spicy caramel sauce until now, and what a treat! Such a cool atmosphere
Great food, big plates! Our waitresse was so friendly make our evening spéciale. Booking recommended
I would give La Buche 10 stars if I could! The entire dining experience was wonderful; from the moment we were greeted by the host outside, to the exceptional service by our server, to the phenomenal dishes, to the decor, and the ambience. We ordered the foie gras, deer tartar, rib steak, and the poor man’s pudding (must try Quebec speciality!) This was my families favorite meal of 2025!
Our favorite place in Quebec City for breakfast/brunch. Top quality food, generous portions, and wonderful and friendly staff. Highly recommended!
Had the french toast, so good!
The food is fresh and delicious, and we especially like the pizza. Generous portions per person
Loved this place! Worth a visit if you're in Quebec city. The food and atmosphere is fantastic. Be sure to reserve a table though! Very cold friendly as well. The poor man's pudding was the best dessert!
