Me My wife and my kid was there. Well its very old and vintage restaurant to be there for the heart of Quebec city. Try this for the vintage and authentic vibes. But i didn't enjoy their pesto Basilica Pasta.

We make our own pesto. Sorry you didn't like it. We have over twenty different pasta dishes; perhaps you'll find something you'd enjoy. Have a good day.

This is my favorite restaurant in Old Quebec Canada!!! I've never been disappointed with any dish I've eaten here. The music is lively and fun. It fills up quickly with ppl and they're so friendly. Come and enjoy a family like atmosphere.

The basil garlic pasta taste sooo bad no flavour tasted like water. People who say this is the best Italian have zero taste. Very overpriced for the quality

We were there last night and I would say this is a great place for families and kids. My little daughter who just turned 10 loved the atmosphere and decorations, it's a fun and beautiful setting, and the food was good. Our server Laura was the best server I've had in years - highly attuned to us always despite her having a full house to serve (including a table of 10 behind us with 3 birthdays), and always pleasant and smiling and friendly. Every time I even thought we might need something - she was there. The live music was great too, my daughter loved the accordion songs. Fantastic night there.

This was an amazing restaurant! Our group of 9 was able to be accommodated, and it was such a great atmosphere. Also we had an amazing server named JC who helped us split our checks and overall gave us incredible service! 10/10 would come back if I’m ever in Quebec again!

JC was awesome, give him a raise. He was the greatest person I’ve ever met in history. He’s funny and kind. He deserves a raise. Highly recommend coming here and asking for JC! Incredible service. Definitely worth it!

This was conveniently located near our hotel and had a kid's menu that came with dessert. My husband's risotto was delicious but my chicken piccata came with no capers (and I'm pretty sure the menu said it had capers). I was too timid to complain or send it back and it was tasty but definitely not a true piccata. The tiramisu was just okay.Edit to respond to owner: You're right, I should have just asked for capers. I changed my star rating from 3 to 4.

Tourist trap, service wasn’t great and the food wasn’t good enough to justify eating here.

Save your money. The food was so not authentic. This pizza was reminiscent of a frozen one, or like the old chef boyardee gross pizza. The sauce was like sugar. The crust was horrible. The meatballs are definitely frozen and served with no sauce. The cheese ravioli was umdewhelming.They are super friendly before the food comes. Then they dont come to your table until you want your billm no water refills. No "how is everything?" They probably lnow not to come back because its horrible food. We left the entire pizza less part of one piece, more than half thr ravioli and let the waiter know it was not what we were expecting. He said "oh sorry about that" and gave us our bill. I dont mind spending a lot on a meal, bit when I do, i expect reasonable service and good food. Not this slop.

Great place to go when in Old Quebec! Great atmosphere AND if you’re lucky, one of their staff is fantastic with the accordion and plays (and sings) The Beatles, Elton John and other more traditional music. I ordered the Poulet Terazinni and my wife got their Poulet Piccata, delicious 10/10 would come back here.

I dined here once in 1999 while on vacation from Boston. We loved the vibe and the people. We came for a late dinner and the place was slow. The accordion player basically gave us a private show. For the past 27 yrs I've been recommending your restaurant to anyone I know traveling to Quebec. Any who tried it have thanked me, as they also had an amazing time. Thank you so much for the delicious meal all those years ago, and for taking care of all my family and friends who have visited since. I told them you are worth a visit, and you continue to make me a man of my word. Peace and love from Boston, MA.
