Be warned then poutine portion sizes are ginormous. Medium could feed two people.

This location was right around the corner from our hotel. After a long day on the road, this was an…read moreeasy place to have a filling but also tasty meal. The smoked meat was as you would expect from a Quebec restaurant - they know how to make it. The pasta was good and home-made. Service was quick and responsive. We didn't have to wait long and our meal was on the table in front of us. There are a few TVs around the facility. Tables and chairs are average quality. It's not necessarily the ambiance you are going for. But it was clean.

The staff was very kind and patient, as we were somewhat indecisive. We didn't feel rushed and they were able to make suggestions for the kids. The menu had enough variety for us to choose from where we didn't feel overwhelmed nor did we feel like we had to settle with a dish. Everything tasted fresh and was very well presented. The portions were extremely generous. My family enjoyed their choices. I really enjoyed the pulled pork pizza - it had a nice drizzle on it - the flavors made it more sweet than savory, which I didn't mind, because I ordered a side of fries too. LOL. When we were leaving the owner thanked us and welcomed us back any time. It was all around a great experience...and within walking distance to our hotel (Hotel Pur).

We were met with a short line at 11:30pm, when one of the locals came up to us and said "Once you have this, you'll never want to go to Katz's again. Trust me." I was confused how he knew we were from NY, but then I realized my big homie was wearing a Karl Anthony Towns Knicks jersey. We got our hands on the smoked meats sandwiches, and went to eat them on a bench nearby. While this thing was good, and the perfect meal to combat my major calorie deficit, it's just not Katz's. People who say this is better than Katz's have just simply never had Katz's. I honestly would've enjoyed it, and not even thought about the comparison, if bro in line didn't act like this was about to change my life. Comparison truly is a thief of joy. My Pastrami power rankings go Katz's, Langer's in LA, and Schwartz's at my #3. IG @johnny.novo Tiktok @jnov__ Substack @johnnynovo

First time eating at Reuben's. We came in from a rain storm with 2 young children. From the moment…read morewe walked in, the host, a sweet older gentleman, offered us paper towels to dry up, since we were soaken wet even with umbrellas. He seated us in the booth and got our little children settled in with coloring material. He was so gentle spoken with our children, and for that matter, the entire staff was! Our family felt welcomed and not a bother. You would be surprised at how few places make us feel this way, even though our children are calm little beings. Ok, now... to the food! When I hear brisket, I think of Texas styled BBQ, this brisket is different, this is a deli style brisket, think Reuben Sandwiches. The brisket was sliced so thin and was juicy, it was delicious! Our kids had kids meals and in their opinion, the best part was the ice cream at the end . I highly recommend eating here! The staff is friendly, the food is great and overall, just a comfortable place to be! Tip the staff well, trust me, by the time the bill arrives you will already have experienced their top notch service. I don't have pictures to share because we were hungry and ate everything up before I could remember to snap some photos!

Bonus points for the Molson Export Ale on draft which was a nice change of pace from all of the craft drafts I've been having.

In…read moreQuébec City, I can't think of a better way to get Made in Québec (Faits au Québec) products then Les Trouvailles de Jules (Jules Finds). Recently renamed from Couillard, Fils & Cie, the store is a natural extension of the next-door Brasserie (brewery/winery) Française Chez Jules, which has (with the booze) many smaller and "lunch-size" dishes made from the products of Les Trouvailles. If you've got a sweet tooth, you've come to the right place! I can't recall the last time I've seen so much caramel. They've got several products from Caramels F.A.A. (their motto is "Faits avec Amour" ... "Made with Love") and it sure seems that way. They have rich, sweet blends of Fleurs de Sel ("Flower of Salt", and seawater salt), Cacao (cocoa), and Érable, just to name a few. And then there's the Maple Syrup ... Nos Cabanes and Domaine des 15 lots have brought plenty of their syrupy wares to Les Trouvailles. This is Canadian Grade A syrup, people ... as good as it gets! There are, unshockingly, plenty of high-quality pâtés. But don't sleep on their culinary siblings, rillette. Amongst others, you'll find rillettes from from the renowned Baie-St-Paul Les Volières (aviaries). You'll also find plenty of fruits, especially in dried (cranberries!) fruit and jam form (blueberries, blackcurrants, gooseberries, etc.), and plenty of vegetables (OMG the pickles!). I was really surprised to find the Sauces Piquantes (a.k.a. hot sauces). Little did I know the both hot and sweet sauce options there were to kick up Quebecois cuisine up a notch ... in taste and spiciness. I was surprised to find some great non-food products, the most interesting being the Baby Night Owl by raplapla ... the famed bebe bouillotte (hot water bottle) / stuffed animals for colicky babes. Cute ... and useful! Les Trouvailles de Jules is a great store! You really haven't been to Québec until you've ensconced yourself into the province's wonderful products. ------------------------------ Ma mauvaise traduction française de mon compte rendu! Les aliments et les produits québécois peuvent rivaliser avec leurs homologues français en Europe. À Québec, je ne vois pas de meilleur moyen d'obtenir les produits Faits au Québec que Les Trouvailles de Jules. Récemment renommé de Couillard, Fils & Cie, le magasin est un prolongement naturel de la brasserie (brasserie / établissement vinicole) Française Chez Jules, qui propose (avec la boisson) de nombreux plats plus petits et "à la taille du déjeuner" préparés à partir des produits. des Trouvailles. Si vous avez le goût sucré, vous êtes au bon endroit! Je ne me souviens pas de la dernière fois où j'ai vu autant de caramel. Ils ont plusieurs produits de Caramels F.A.A. (leur devise est "Faits avec Amour" ... "Made with Love") et cela semble bien être le cas. Ils ont des mélanges riches et sucrés de Fleurs de sel ("Fleur de sel" et de sel de mer), de cacao (cacao) et d'Érable, pour n'en nommer que quelques-uns. Et puis il y a le sirop d'érable ... Nos Cabanes et le Domaine des 15 lots ont apporté beaucoup de leurs produits sirupeux à Les Trouvailles. C'est du sirop canadien de catégorie A, les gens ... aussi bien que possible! Il y a une abondance de pâtés de grande qualité. Mais ne dors pas sur leurs frères et sœurs culinaires, Rillette. Entre autres, vous trouverez des rillettes de la renommée Baie-St-Paul Les Volières. Vous trouverez également beaucoup de fruits, en particulier dans les fruits séchés (canneberges!) Et les confitures (myrtilles, cassis, groseilles à maquereau, etc.), ainsi que beaucoup de légumes (OMG les cornichons!). J'ai été vraiment surpris de trouver les sauces piquantes (sauces chaudes). Je ne savais pas que les deux options de sauce piquante et sucrée pouvaient donner un coup de fouet à la cuisine québécoise ... au goût et aux épices. J'ai été surpris de trouver d'excellents produits non alimentaires, le plus intéressant étant le Baby Night Owl de raplapla ... le fameux bebe bouillotte (bouteille d'eau chaude) / animaux empaillés pour les coliques. Mignon ... et utile! Les Trouvailles de Jules est un super magasin! Vous n'êtes vraiment pas allé au Québec avant de vous être intégré aux merveilleux produits de la province.
