To preface, I visited Québec with my French Canadian girlfriend and my Dutch friend who used to live in NB but now lives in the Netherlands. Stopped at this restaurant to potentially get lunch but first my friend needed to urgently, and quickly use the restroom. There was no one at the front desk so I told him to go and then we’d get seated together after. A male, dark haired, server came to seat us, we explained that we were waiting for a friend to be seated and then he went on to talk about how this was not a public restroom, and that there’s one across the street… clearly not understanding that we wanted to be seated, and that we were waiting for our friend. I understood the point of view and apologized, so did my friend. But this left a bad taste that lingered throughout our holiday in Québec. Clearly customer service is not this establishment’s forte. Merci beaucoup.

Great burgers and cold drinks with a nice outdoor patio for enjoying the beauty of Old Quebec City.
All the employees are friendly and the poutine is peak
My fellow Canadians, on behave of all our crying ancestors, I apologise. The American reviews are too strong. They should call it -2.0 poutine for the fact it wasn’t a poutine. I thought my bush was filthy, wait until you have the le braisée.
I absolutely fell in love with this branch! The location is stunning, especially with those massive glass windows offering a breathtaking view of the Fairmont. It’s mesmerizing to just sit there and take in the scenery. The experience was made even better by their Poutine—it was delicious and honestly one of the best local dishes I’ve tasted in Quebec. Highly recommended! In short, it was a piece of heaven and I was lucky to be served by two beautiful angels called Mélia and Sara
Rated as a high end poutinerie and diner. I got the braised beef poutine. Superb. Great service. And located right in the heart of old Quebec coose to the tourist attractions. Interior has a nice vintage vibe, and the staff are super friendly
Good food, even better service! Thank you to the kind, tall, blond gentleman who ensured that we had the best experience possible! Also, gluten-free options.
Great lunch there. Two of us had burgers and one had a salad. Staff were great!
Salted caramel maple whiskey milkshake was awesome. Bison burger was great, but I feel like it could have been better (the meat and the buns. Either make a smash burger or don't cook it so thoroughly. The fillings were perfect). I like that they make their own sodas although I didn't get to try them. My biggest issue is that the price is insane. Spent $50 for a burger and drink for 1 person, didn't even get fries
Ate here as a walk-in: had noted it was the closest restaurant to Chateau Frontenac where we were staying and the menu looked interesting. Got seated without issue and ordered a burger, chicken burger and a poutine to share. We also ordered two boozy milkshakes (although we found out when the bill arrived that only one of the two contained alcohol - the Maple shake on the menu has a boozy cousin which is the one I ordered, but not the one I got). The burger was good, but unfortunately the chicken was overcooked and chewy to the point I couldn't finish it. The poutine was very good - in a super savoury mushroom sauce and served with grated cheddar. Service was OK but largely absent (I think tables in the window where the customer is facing outward can cause this unfortunately).
