Have these people never had a burger before? There's nothing wrong with the burgers here, but there's also nothing right about them. They're burgers. Meat, bread, lettuce, sauces..yep. It's a burger. And it's okay. Bland and by-the-book to a fault. It tasted liked they perfected the art of having minimal flavors and ingredients, as if they were weighing the taste of each in a highly technical way. I forgot I even went here by the next day and was only reminded by pictures I took. It's basically the Quebecois version of whatever one step up from an Applebee's would be, but with a premium price tag and hype. Any other burger in town would probably be just as good if not better. Side was pretty bad. Basically burnt tofu. Service was lacking, but there. I was tended to in the most basic 'there's another table to get through' way possible. Check took a long time to get to me and I ended up just walking up to the counter. Not sure why. There weren't a lot of people there. Tons of seating and a pretty nice view, although that's hard to not have in Quebec City. Can't recommend it with so many other options and delicacies not all that far away. Don't go out of your way to come to this place. Location: 4* Convenience: 2* Service: 1* Product/quality: 3* Aesthetics: 1*

I had originally thought of going to L'Affaire Est Ketchup, but many recommendations to got to the closely related Patente and Machin instead. So I made reservations for Patente and Machin. We arrived at open, and were quickly seated. It was a Monday night, so the place never got more than half full. It's a very rustic place, with random/eccentric wall decor. The daily menu was written on the blackboards - five small plates (Machins) and 5 larger plates (Patentes). We tried these: - Ris: Very good. It was a fried sweetbread on pasta. Not something I eat often, but was delicious. - Chou Fleur (Cauliflower): Good. It was prepared three ways - roasted, marinated and puree. Because I roast my own cauliflower, the dish wasn't a standout for me. - Steak: OK/Good. The steak itself wasn't remarkable. But the fries were really good. The peppercorn sauce was so intense, I didn't use much of it. - Poulet de Courinouaille (Cornish Hen): Very good. Easily the best dish of the night. Surprisingly tender. - Morue (Cod): OK. Very fresh. But had a lot of ingredients that made is a bit confusing and messy. Service was what stands out. As far as I could tell, there were only 3 people working. Two front staff taking orders and making drinks, and one chef. You could watch the chef prepare, cook and plate every dish that night. It made it a very personal and intimate experience, almost like being served by 3 good friends. But it also meant that everything went at very slow pace. This review was not an easy one. From one perspective, I really appreciated the hard work and dedication of the entire staff. They make it a very personal and special experience. However, on the food alone, I thought it was generally OK or good, but nothing outstanding. So I would rate this as a 3.5 out of 5.

We ordered the Jr sized India - Butter Chicken and the Hat Trick poutines and they were quite a serving. If you're not that hungry, you can get away with sharing just a Jr size of any of these poutines and get pretty full since it's so hearty. We also thought the restaurant was more upscale looking than we expected and it was incredibly kid-friendly. This is the place to go if you have a group of people with diverse taste buds all wanting to try out some poutine. Great experience for all.

There was a smear of maple jam under the patty that gave it a hint of sweetness that paired well with the salty cheese. The bun soaked up the juices nicely and wasn't too heavy. I would definitely come back for the burger!

Western was well done, he was loving it but no soup showed up. Asked the waitress who obviously forgot it but no problem. She ran in and grabbed a bowl. The home fries on my eggs Benny were great. Hollandaise on the side. Definitely not made in house. The mushrooms were excellent. The English muffin was unfortunately not toasted so ended up being a soggy mess. All in all, pretty good but if you order the eggs Benny, I suggest asking for the English muffin to be toasted.
