Fantastic choices and great service!
A fabulous lunch with my husband and two kids in this beautiful restaurant. Sincerely warm service and unbelievable value for the quality of the food. Even the water was unusually good.
Update 2026: Still a solid 5 stars on all fronts
Excellent all around.
We’ve been coming here for over 5 years and they never disappoint. In the summer their terrace is wonderful and in the fall and winter the restaurant has a nice cozy bistro feel. Service is always attentive but not intrusive. Bistro fare “à son meilleur” and the wine and beverage list is nicely organised on a tablet. A must when visiting Québec City.
This was the best resturant we visited in ville de Québec. The oysters were magnificent and came with a really nice sauce - the mix of garlic and lemon worked well together, the scallops were glorious in a wonderful sauce with truffles and very fresh herbs, the cod was wonderful, the duck was perfectly crisp, and even the fries were great. We also had the dessert for two. The sugar pie and raspberry mousse were very very good. Crème brûlé was also good. The mixed drink also tasted great and we ordered a second one.
Exquisite food! Must not miss. Service was exceptional, they were so polite and welcoming and the food was exquisite We ordered warm goat cheese, beet salad, wagyu beef tartar, salmon tartar, cod and lamb stew. Every single one was delicious
Very traditional French high dining restaurant with a mention in Michelin guide. If you want high quality French cuisine, you will not be disappointed as the place has been here and serving some of these classic dishes like steak tartare since its opening 1984! However if you are interested in more modern twists to French cuisine, you might not like it that much. Service was great, however requires a reservation even though there were really two couples in the restaurant and was told that I need to make up my mind about the tasting menu as the kitchen will close soon. This was minutes after my 8pm reservation, so I find that to be not such a nice thing to say, especially at such a high end place, particularly given they were couple hours away from closing with a very empty restaurant. Other than this, highly recommended!
This was a nice meal. Server got swamped with lots of people arriving at same time. This coukd be managed by sraged reservations.
