When you order hamburger before to ask for pink or medium rare. I ordered them on three separate occasions from different servers and none of them bothered to ask how I’d like it done. So they all came out anywhere from well done and very dry. If you never had poutine you can upgrade your side of fries to poutine for seven bucks. It’s pretty decent poutine. The lunch menu selection is very limited but you may be able to order breakfast past lunch time. The service is on the slow side so don’t come here if you are tight on schedule. I recommend having the mussels and blue cheese sauce. However don’t order it if you go by there yourself. Split it with at least two people if not three and share other dishes. Overall I think this place is solid but keep your expectation low. It is not nearly as good as the rating suggests. So if you can’t find a table don’t wait more than ten minutes. You can find alternatives nearby. -1 for slow service. -1 for billing error that I caught.
Reviews / Ratings for La Buchette
The best restaurant we’ve been to in old Quebec. We came for breakfast. All the dishes were fantastic!! The steak and egg sandwich was the best ever! The oat lattes were delicious. The staff were lovely and so attentive. I can’t wait to come back!!
Great patio, good people watching,good poutine
We would highly recommended La Buchette, you must try it if you are in Quebec City. When we arrived, Christopher greeted us and went over and above to find us a table during a busy dinner service. Our server Diego was delightful, warm, friendly, funny and extremely knowledgeable about the menu, making suggestions and recommendations for food and selecting a delicious wine. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming and very personal! We were dining with my sister and her husband, we all agreed the "La Buchette experience" was the highlight of our short visit to Quebec City. My husband had the maple glazed pork shank, I had the beef carpaccio with a green salad - both dishes were delicious. In fact we returned to the restaurant the next morning for breakfast and Diego served us again with the same friendly, warm and welcoming service. My husband had the crepes with chocolate sauce and berries, I had the cassolette which was super delicious, perfect over easy eggs, sausage, bacon, potatoes, fresh spinach, and more all in one dish. It was another fantastic meal with the same super-fantastic service. Merci beaucoup Diego and Christopher you made the experience at La Buchette truly memorable. We will be back!

A delightfully French Canadian culinary experience. Excellent food, outstanding service, beautiful rustic decor, every detail of our visit was perfect. I highly recommend the Tartiflette...heavenly!
Great atmosphere Delicious food Personalized service - the food was slightly delayed and the waiter apologized and in the meantime gave us some bread etc
Lovely restaurant, the food was excellent especially the duck carpaccio, staff were very friendly and helpful and special thanks for checking ingredients re my allergy.
From reception to dessert I could not have hoped for a better experience. Especially when I don't speak the language. Welcoming and warm, delicious and decadent.
The pasta was flavourful, well presented. Service was good.
I ordered the beef bourguignon and it was very good. The staff were also friendly.
food was undercooked, fryer broke, took a hour and a half to get a burger that was dry and had no taste, had to kick an aggressive customer out and the servers were sassy. Absolutely terrible.
Great food and excellent value. The menu has interesting and unusual options and classics. The duck carpaccio and. Duck gizzard salad are excellent as was halibut and beef bourginon Very interesting Québécois decor
We had the crepes and cassolette, both delicious and super filling. The cassolette was delicious was the la buchette hot sauce. Service was welcoming and attentive. Loved the decor. Lots of taxidermy around. Would recommend
What an absolute gem! The atmosphere is a real vibe and the food is incredible, but what makes this a 5 star place are the people. Christopher welcomed us and provided a great first impression. Our Server Diego was fabulous, his genuine interactions with us and the other patrons were truly refreshing. Would highly recommend, and will be back for breakfast tomorrow haha!
What an amazing experience! The atmosphere, the food and the fantastic staff especially Diego. Thank you we will be back!!
Best poutine I’ve ever tried!

Loved our meal here. The staff was amazing , food delicious, location perfect! A must go in Quebec City
Fantastic food and great atmosphere. Definitely coming back!!!
Everything we tried here was fantastic. I especially enjoyed the onion soup.
A great restaurant located in the heart of Quebec City on Rue Saint-Jean, just a short walk from popular attractions such as Old Quebec, Château Frontenac, and Place d’Youville. We had a burger that was absolutely outstanding — flavorful, well prepared, and definitely one of the highlights of our meals in the city. The staff was also very kind and welcoming, contributing to a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. Overall, a highly recommended spot for a good meal in a lively and central area of Quebec City.
Hello, I would definitely recommend this place. The staff gave me a very warm welcome, and I was served what might be one of the best poutines I’ve ever had. The combination of classic poutine ingredients with the pork sides and mustard sauce was outstanding. After a long walk, this meal felt like a real reward. The atmosphere, combined with the quality of the food, made it one of the highlights of my trip to Quebec. Highly recommended! Thank you for everything
Best service. Very good dinner. Go there.
