A charming, local spot for breakfast, brunch or lunch. The interior is cozy, with wooden windows and some vintage decorations. We went there on a rainy morning, so it was not too busy. Service was nice and fast, and we soon had our plates. Everything looked pretty appetizing! A pretty straightforward plating with the choice of eggs, sausages, toast, etc. Upon request, we can get a little bucket with a selection of peanut butter, jam, caramel spead and whatnot. The smoothie shot of the day seems to come with every dish. It was a good, filling meal. In good weather, sitting outside under the umbrellas must be pretty nice! read more

Food was amazing. Eggs Benedict was cooked to perfection. Crapes were a little overcooked but still delicious. We loved the fruit smoothies that came as part of the meals. Indoor spacing is limited for large groups. Our server spoke both french and english. Unfortunately they did not have an English menu for the non-french speakers, but the server explained things as needed read more

One star for good cider and beer. Zero for the poutine quebecois. 4 pieces of cheese, had to ask for gravy since there was barely any. Fries were hard. That's when I realized that the gravy was made from a tub of paste with water. Super salty, the worst poutine I've had in Quebec, I've had quite a few terrible ones, but this tops as the worst. read more

We had the biggest breakfast here- so delicious. Le Bonnet sucre had a little bit of everything including the standard of eggs, bacon, ham and sausage. Plus a crepe, extra toast, a smoothie(!!) and two local treats. Bring your appetite and stretchy pants. Bonus- the ambiance is exactly what you want for a Sunday brunch and the staff was courteous and appropriately attentive. read more

First brunch spot I had in Quebec City. It's a very local restaurant in a somewhat tourist spot of St Jean. Our server and host were very accommodating. I was worried about the language barrier because I thought most local spots are very heavy in speaking French but they knew how to speak English so it's a plus. The food was absolutely delish. It was a very balanced portion of savory with sides of fruit on the plate. I'm not really a huge fan of hot chocolate because the ones I've had in the past were very thick and overly sweet but the one they served had the right amount of thickness and sweetness. It did not overpower my palette Their eggs Benedict was probably the best ones I've had because the hollandaise sauce is usually what makes or breaks this type of dish. This one was perfect. Overall, I would definitely come back! read more

Came in for a quick late lunch on a Wednesday and they had a lot of seating available. They also check COVID vaccination and ID at the door and had plastic separators between tables, which I appreciated. I ordered the fish and chips (they give you a chips + salad option or just chips, or just salad) and a cider. Everything was really good and the service was even better! They don't have an English menu but my waitress was so kind and helpful with explaining the menu and telling me some recommendations. She noted that this area is more local, which could explain the lack of an english menu. Overall, a very low key pub style and amazing service - highly recommend! read more

Au Bonnet d'Âne - Ctepes - Cafes Near Me - Quebec City, Quebec

Amazing local gem with a delightfully retro casual feel. We went for Sunday brunch and menu items were traditional brunch with influences from local Québec cuisine. Many omelettes, eggs Benedict's to choose. Do get the side of crepe with maple syrup, it's particularly well done. Service can be a bit slow as the place is pretty busy. read more

We happened on this restaurant walking along the Rue Saint-Jean. It was full and no one even acknowledged us waiting for over 5 minutes to be seated. No problem , we left but decided to come back later since we thought such a busy place must have great food. We were very disappointed. This was Sunday brunch, my omelet was rubbery and tasteless. Potatoes were dry and under-seasoned. The bread was just your regular processed bread. Espresso was not good. Really do not understand great reviews. read more

Small and unassuming cafe close to the heart of the city. Steps away from our Airbnb, so we were lucky to find this wonderful little place each morning during our stay. Their menu is comprehensive and satisfying. Staff is helpful and kind. You can order crepes, a traditional breakfast plate or a smaller version if you like. The menu also expands into lunch and dinner so that's a plus. I'd recommend coming here because you will get your fill without the franchise feel and a more 'one of a kind' vibe over the famous places. They do get busy on weekend mornings but wait isn't too long for a couple. read more

Au Bonnet d'Âne - Eggs, potatoes, crepes with maple syrup, whole grain toast, ham, sausage, bacon & fruit! - Cafes Near Me - Quebec City, Quebec

Cafe au Bonnet has it all, starting with a quaint atmosphere and cute outdoor dining area! After drowning in all the options (well, I had an especially hard time since I don't speak French), we ordered the Jeanne D'Arc pizza and an omelette. The omelette and its sides were yummy, but my boyfriend couldn't stop reaching over for my pizza! Man, that pizza has fresh ingredients and just the right crust; I usually hate thin crust, but it's fresh and crunchy and they put the meat under the tomato sauce. As for drinks, the lemonade is so deliciously sweet -- they add some grenadine syrup on the bottom and a few fruits up top, and wow! The OJ is pretty good, but doesn't seem freshly squeezed, so I'm not sure it's worth it. The kitchen made a small mistake, but it was more than generously made up for. Our waiter was super friendly and talked to each table, though that slowed down the service a bit. read more

I guess you have to make a reservation here if you want to come in for breakfast on a weekend because when we got here they told us it would be an hour wait . But then we saw bar seating available and asked if we could sit there and they said yes and seated us in few minutes so that worked out . The service was good and so was the food. We got crepes and smoked salmon eggs Benedict . Many dishes come with a berry smoothie on the side which I thought was a nice touch. And I also ordered a side of fresh fruit with my crepes and they really delivered. It was a mix of different fruits and berries which you don't really get in the states and they were very fresh and delicious. Overall I'd say we got lucky because we got seated right away whereas we saw many people get turned away because the place is very popular. read more

Great café outside the tourist area, while the menu is in french it is easy enough to figure out and they can speak English. In an older building, lots of character. perfect for a leisurely brunch. The food was plentiful and good and not overly expensive as you are where locals eat. walkable from our hotel, but we drove on the way out of town and street parking was easy. The crepes, french toast (pain doré) and omelets were excellent. read more

This was a great afternoon meal after a hike around Quebec City. The atmosphere was nice, service excellent. Our waitress was entertaining and very helpful with the menu recommendations. When I saw the previous reviews I was slightly skeptical however it turned out much better than I thought. My family (of four) each ordered a main course including the grilled salmon, burger new yorkais, duck confit, and "breakfast" pizza with eggs, tomatoes, and bacon. Each plate was beautiful and delicious; full of flavor. The only problem was the salmon that I ordered could have been more fresh, however it was definitely still a good choice. This restaurant is also family-friendly, having a menu section for kids. This is definitely a restaurant to come back to! read more

Went there over the weekend for brunch... I ordered their "green" breakfast which came with eggs/hash/yogourt/cream cheese/banana bread/veggie pate/toast and fresh fruit... Yeah, a lot of food! The banana bread was a bit too oily... I really liked their veggie pate which tasted very pumpkin-y! Mmm... I love pumpkin! I can't give a place a higher score for breakfast alone, unless they're unrealistically amazing, and since I would go back, they get 3 stars for this time. read more

We found this restaurant along our walk exploring the city. Looking to get away from the tourist center dining and more towards where locals would eat which might involve using my rusty French. Although, I have a feeling we'd to walk very far to get away from that but Hey don't ruin my illusion! The quaint restaurant has a nice terrace and we sat right on the skirt of it. The wood interior wasn't so loud and looked like everyone was having a good time. I went with something decadent not usually I would order but I'm on holiday darn it. The Rillette de Canard to start was a delicious start to the meal. Duck Confit while my friend ordered the veal. It was a really nice meal. Casual. Relaxing. Away from the tourist restaurants of old town. read more

Au Bonnet d'Âne - Duck confit - Cafes Near Me - Quebec City, Quebec

My boyfriend and I are on vacation from NYC and this was the most delightful breakfast!! We arrived at about 8:30am; he had an eggs Benedict, I had the yogurt with muesli & a hard boiled egg. Both were so, so delicious! Each dish came with a side of freshly cut fruit; the yogurt also had a side of banana bread which we saved for a snack later in the day because honestly, I was stuffed (such a treat!). The coffee was perfect and the staff was smiling and didn't mind our rusty French. Highly recommended for a relaxing, comforting, and reasonably priced breakfast! read more

Cozy nice place. Decoration is nice. Food is decent. Egg Benedict and fries taste good. And good coffee

Great beer selection and some of the staff seemed very nice and friendly. Unfortunately, our server was awful. She pushed apps really hard, then was never seen from again after we got our food. After waiting at least 15 minutes to pay, had to hunt her down to settle up though by then the place was cleared out. She seemed annoyed that we were trying to leave. The food was decent- the steak and scallops were ok; the risotto was awesome- but overall it seemed a bit overpriced and I just can't get over the terrible service. read more

My wife and I and two friends got a recommendation to eat here from a local. The guidance given was that the food was good and the prices reasonable. The cafe delivered on both, and we enjoyed the cozy vibe. The service was excellent--I thing we had three different people checking on us from time to time. Please give it a try! read more

Sorry to say that the food I was served wasn't up to the standards it used to be. I have had such good experiences in the past there but it seems like when the opened a second restaurant their standards have suffered. I had a terrine which was discolored and dry like it had spent 4 days in the fridge. Secondly I had a steak which I ordered blue and came out well done accompanied with a sauce made from powder. I am very disappointed but I will give them another chance in the future. read more

I've been here a few times since I've moved here and it's certainly my go-to. The service is amazing and the food is delicious. I had the carbonara linguine (au gratin) and it was super cheesy and delicious. The fondue is a great appetizer and the desserts are all amazing- although I have a soft spot in my heart for the creme brûlée. It's a small, cozy restaurant so I recommend making a reservation. read more

Food was decent but the service was lacking. Asked for hot sauce and never received it. Waited a very long time to pay. Table was missing silverware and condiments. Felt ignored. Based on the reviews, I was looking forward to having brunch here. Next time we'll stay closer to the Old City. read more

We absolutely loved having breakfast here while staying at an airbnb right above it. We had breakfast there a few times during our stay in Quebec City. Perfect breakfast before a day full of walking and sightseeing. Incredible eggs benedict! We loved the staff too, great service. read more

Actually I'm sitting in there right now I'll waiting for my food. When we first walked in, it took the mâter d' 10 mins to finally bring us the menu. Moreover, we have been waiting for our food more than 30mins already. It makes me wonder how it could be possible to take so long to scramble a few eggs and make some toasts. You know how slow their service is when your waitress just told you "Vous être le prochain". AMAZING. If you plan to come here, please prepare to stay here (waiting) for at least 1 hour. read more

If you're looking for a place that locals go for a good fair priced breakfast, this is your place! My son and I both enjoyed our breakfast and we left quite happy. The staff is very accommodating and friendly, able to help translate the menu for us . It was raining when we were there so we ate inside. There is an outdoor patio that would have been nice to sit out on otherwise. read more

A local recommended this place to us for lunch. We ordered from the lunch combo menu that included soup and an entre. Entrecôte steak was done medium rare and rare as ordered. Fish plater was salmon and not haddock as shown on the menu but was good. Poutine was better than the one from a chain burger joint that we went to. The only minuses were flat and flavorless small beer on tap and mediocre bread. The bill was about $125 Canadian for 5. Not cheap for lunch but seems more reasonable than those places within the old Qubec City. Prices seem reasonable but the two types of taxes always make the restaurant bills unfriendly. read more

On a cold, post-Sylvester afternoon, my girlfriend and I pushed our frozen selves up onto pair chairs at the bar in the front room. I ordered a creme of rutabaga soup, salad, baguette, and a bowl of flavourful coffee. Hands down, one of the better casual meals I had in QC (which overall - I found a rather touch-and-go situation on the whole - compared to Montreal). It seems the restaurant is just far enough from the old town - a haunt of locals. Honest, earthy, wonderful atmosphere. Fresh ingredients. Talented, knowledgeable wait-staff. Certainly affordable. read more

Was interested in coming here around brunch time so I could get in on the crepes, but I guess I was just a little late. No problem at all, they have a great menu otherwise. I got the pork fillet, which is very well cooked and dressed in slightly sweet and nicely spicy barbecue sauce. Also got a burger along with some poutine - ate some of both and got the rest packed. Burger had a veggie-like patty and was dressed with brie cheese and an apple chutney, very unique. Poutine was classic: slightly too crisp French fries with a good amount of mozzarella and traditional gravy. Nice, earthy casual place. read more

We were visiting from out of town and enjoyed it. It's cozy pub feeling and very kind staff. We liked the burger with onion confit- so good! We also liked the general tso chicken. The food is very good! It seems to be on a street a little off of the main area with other cafes so we found parking right in front. read more

The food was excellent, especially the burgers and Cajun poutine. However, we wished the service matched. We were not asked for more drinks/water nor checked in on by the waitress after we were served the food. Our waitress only came back when it came time for the tip. We did not even get a good night/goodbye because we gave an appropriate tip for the quality of service provided, which wasn't much. Most of the other service staff including the host seemed better but unfortunately they were not assigned to our table. read more

Very good food. I had the Charlvoisien Burger with Migneron cheese. The salad was nice and light with a subtle dressing. Fries were good. The poutine, which my friend ordered was decent. (I am not personally a huge fan of Poutine, so decent is a compliment from me). Service was great. once I told the server that I was sorry that I could not speak French, she greeted us with a huge smile in very good English and put us at ease. Only quibble was that this is supposed to be in the less touristy part of town and the prices were still any different from the touristy part.. My lunch burger came in at 14 plus taxes and tip. My buddy's sandwich came in at 16 plus nearly 4 bucks for poutine. Still ,a fine establishment to check out if you are in Quebec. It is less than a mile east of the Parliament area. read more
