Hands down one of the best breakfast spot in the city. As a traveler it seemed to be a very popular and busy restaurant, and we were fortunate enough to walk in and get seated. I must note there is also a large bar in the instance you want fast service. The beverage menu is extensive and has a drink for everyone. From cocktails, mocktails, wine/beer, smoothies, coffee, tea, etc. I would be remiss if I didn't talk about the Moka KitKat. It had arrived the exactly as the photo in the menu and was absolutely delightful. The dishes were large, and full of flavor. Our server was attentive and welcoming! Overall a great experience and a must go if you are traveling around the city! read more

Just stopped in for a few beers on a hot June day. Ended up talking with a couple from Texas who were in town for a convention. Was aghast that they put ketchup on their steak, but... It was nice to sit in air-conditioning and relax for an hour. Oh, and our server was excellent! Odd that the water closet was upstairs though. read more

We had high expectations from the many reviews. Perhaps it was what we ordered, but the beef burger and hot chicken were not what we expected. Dry and not spicy, the overall experience was a bit overwhelming. Even with the kids menu options, I thought it was generally overpriced for the quality of the food. We should've expected that much for a chain. read more

This is a chain restaurant that can be found all over Quebec City and Montreal. We visited the one located in old Quebec City on a touristy strip. It was after 9:30 am but before 10:30 am and they were still packed from the breakfast crowd. Any empty tables were reserved already so we took a seat at the bar. Excellent experience at the bar. Our waiter was attentive and service was swift. Foot was decent as well. What was ordered: Omelet du Lac Sandwich deje breakfast sandwich 2 egg classic breakfast with ham (not pictured) The 2 egg classic comes with a choice of protein and what was chosen was ham and what your get is not a slice of ham as in most places but ham that has been clearly cut off a leg of ham. It was a mound of shaved and small slices of ham. If your dish comes with bread you have the choice of apple butter or jam. We chose a mini baguette, which came warm. Apple butter was yummy. When you order a coffee with your meal it is half the price if you just ordered a coffee on its own. Restrooms are upstairs and is a unisex set up. Good experience. read more

This place is on par with airplane food. To start, I ordered the Le Jardin mocktail, which I could not drink and tasted a bit like glass cleaner. Next arrived the bread, which was very similar to that of bread served in an airplane meal service. The butter was also prepackaged. The charcuterie, as attached, was depressing and disarrayed. Not to mention that a waiter stuck his thumb in the mustard on it, looked at his hand with the mustard on it, and then proceeded to place it down and walk away. Nice! I ordered the mushroom pasta with peas and almonds as my main course. Covered in oil. Nauseatingly so. I couldn't finish that either. Thankfully our waitress was nice and checked up on us, but other than that my experience here was less than pleasant. read more

It's tough finding a good breakfast restaurant on a busy, touristed stretch, but this one is great, despite being a local chain. We ate inside during a heatwave but the street patio looked enticing. It can get busy and a bit slow but service was pleasant. Portions were huge so maybe I shouldn't have upgraded my home fries to "breakfast poutine" (hollandase sauce)? Nope, it was delicious. Decent prices for the area and coffee included. read more

A chain that specializes in French Canadian. We ordered the set menu though I wished I had done the separate a la carte menu since I did not think their main entrees on that set was that great. The appetizers were good, desserts good, but wished I had called say the baby back ribs and maybe the seafood pie (pot en pot). Good for large groups. Relatively efficient staff since they are a chain. Appetizers: Blood pudding is worth a try if you are down for a more gamey tasting beef stew wrapped in a fried ball. It's essentially pork/beef blood coagulated and then stewed in a beef stew. if you can put mind over matter and enjoy the flavor, then you'd be ok. I thought their "New England" clam chowder was not bad. Coming from New England though I would not call this a classic New England Chowder since they had carrots and corn in here which I don't commonly see. Very generous in clams though, so I would recommend this again purely for taste Entree: This is where I was not too excited. I ordered the haddock/shrimp on top of pesto pasta with their side of onions and peppers. this dish was just not too exciting. I think if they had made it more of a tangy tomato paste pasta it wouldn't need so many elements on one plate, none of which really much contribution. Just too many boring flavors on one plate. I would rather they just stick to putting good seafood on better pasta dressing than have one side of plate with a sauce and the other side with onion/peppers. An odd combo. We also ordered the pot en feu. Also not a very exciting dish unfortunately. Imagine someone took meats, root veggies, Brussel sprouts, beans and stewed it minus any fat. They made the broth super concentrated so that the veggies are now just salty without much flavor- the broth just lacks dimension. The meats also stewed to where they are somewhat dry and not very exciting. This was a struggle to finish. Not exciting, salty and felt like yo were chewing remnants in your mouth at the bottom of someone's stock they made but the stock was sold to the store and you are eating the pot bottom. Dessert: Can't go wrong with French desserts- at least these didn't disappoint. we were quite full however. I think the chocolate mousse cake w/ raspberry (brightened the dessert) paired better than the creme brûlée that felt too heavy after a series of boring flavors. Peak hours are around 7 so get ready for a crowded experience. I would not come back here again unless I rand out of restaurants here in Quebec. I think if you had a choice I would try the other local non chain French Canadian restaurants instead. read more

Enjoyed our brunch here. The entire menu was tempting, my meal was delicious, my latte was also fabulous! Our waiter was tres gentil!

The best food we ever had while visiting Quebec since the food was better than expected especially the black pudding. The maple pouding chomeur (bacon bread pudding) was a delicious way to end the meal and also worth getting again. Overall, the restaurant is so good to the point that is worth going again. read more

Great place for breakfast. Big selection of unique breakfast items. Breakfast grilled cheese with bacon jam and home fries was delicious. Breakfast poutine looked amazing and was fresh and loaded with toppings. We sat at the bar because all tables full. Service was quick and friendly and we got to watch the bartenders work their magic making all kinds of crazy cocktails from mimosas to drinks loaded up and glasses lined with Nutella. All in all a great experience!!! read more

They have breakfast poutine here and it was delicious! Price is reasonable in a high traffic tourist area and service is great. I got the Charlevoix plate which has waffles, fruits, and maple cream on one side and eggs, spinach, and cheese on the other. A great dish if you want a bit of both savory and sweet. Hubby got the Lac Saint Jean Omelette and upgraded the potatoes to the breakfast poutine which was an excellent choice. All their breakfast entrees also come with coffee, au lait or cappuccino. This Parisian bistro is a great start to your sightseeing morning. read more

This is a really great family-friendly place for breakfast or brunch. Extensive menu with a diversity of sweet and savory options. The servers were very helpful and patient with our large group and our small kids in tow. The restaurant is spacious, clean, bright and well-situated on a busy pedestrian street. The brunch portions were all pretty big and all pretty good. The cappuccino with maple syrup was unique to me, so simple yet so sweet, something I might have to adopt back in the U.S. with my drinks. lol I enjoyed the duck confit benedict with toast and apple butter. The apple butter was excellent! My sister liked her sweet and savory country duo of scrambled eggs tartine, mushroom, bacon and hollandaise sauce; crepe with caramelized apples, cheese mix and maple cream. read more

10/10 review for this restaurant! Everything we had delicious. Can't recommend this restaurant enough! We had the Steak frites and Grilled cheese with poutine. The kids meals were great- starter, entree, and dessert (cookies). The soup of the day (tomato soup) and bacon wrapped sausages were a hit with the kids. The spaghetti bolognese and cheeseburger were also a big hit with our kids. Can't wait to come back on our next trip! read more

We were seated right away on a cold Saturday night in Feb 2025. The waiter spoke a little English and we spoke a little (bad) French so struggled to order. French onion soup lacked a bold onion flavor but was nice and cheesy. The trio appetizer was full of flavors. Not used to the pork belly here. It's really salty and almost like a ham steak (if you're from the States). Then there was the elusive pork chop. It arrived FIFTY MINUTES after our appetizers and not cooked consistently throughout. Part of it was pink/almost raw, and other parts of it were white. It was "warm" and the sweet potato mash seemed to have been sitting there a while. The waiter apologized for the wait, but offered no discount or compensation for the poor service. He didn't offer an explanation or even asked how the meal was. We even left a big pink piece of pork on the plate that was never addressed. We also ordered a dessert to-go and were not offered a discount. We did not express any rudeness or dissatisfaction during our meal. Good luck and/or enjoy. read more

Situated right by the entrance of old town Quebec along Rue St Jean, Cochon Dingue is unmissable and frankly a good Segway entering the town. Its interior is large and well maintained with a beautiful patio. We came here on breakfast our first day and sat right by the open patio. Beautiful day and weather to accompany the great food We each got a brunch plate that came with complimentary coffee. We were served a free smoothie shot as well. Both plates (sweet and savory) were satisfying. Minor misses (eg the apple crepe with cheese was a little oily but overall a great experience. read more

We've eaten at this restaurant twice while in Quebec. Everything was delicious! We had something similar to a Shepards Pie x2; my husband loved it. Hot, tender meat but not a huge portion. I had the grilled pork chop with sweet potato mash and grilled vegs one day and the Philly style beef sandwich with slaw and an upgrade to a small Ceasar salad. We shared the Creme Brulee one night. We loved our server, Zoe and it was pleasant eating outside. The red Sangria was very good. Given the touristic nature of the area, we found the menu pleasing and the prices consistent with the area. Although I hear it's a "chain", we liked everything a lot. read more

A quick breakfast spot down the street from our hotel. They had outdoor seating which was nice on a cool morning. We were able to get a seat right away without a reservation. It took a few minutes to get our drinks but the waitress grabbed our order right away. The Brunch Plate was a good variety of foods. It was something more like a British breakfast based on what I understand you get there but with some American items such as American bacon. My eggs were not cooked the way I asked but quickly brought me correctly cooked eggs. My biggest complaint is the maple creme syrup crepe seemed like a crepe with maple syrup. Good, but I was expecting more. The baguette seemed freshly baked and made a great shuttle for my bacon and eggs. Brunch Plate 7.5/10 Overall, it was good. It left a little to be desired but I would return to try other things! This might be exactly what you're looking for though. read more

Accommodating 1000%, traveling with a group of 12, they made it look easy. Steak frites satisfied the hungry walking group.

This was a beautiful restaurant with amazing cocktails and service. The staff let us sit anywhere we wanted and brought out our food and drinks all in under 10-15 minutes of ordering. We started with the Plasir du Nord and Le Démon Blonde cocktails, one whisky based, one gin based -- both fantastic drinks! For our mains, we got the Philly Style Sandwiches which came with "brisket", caramelized onions, swiss cheese, beef jus and a couple of delicious curried mayos on the side. The sandwich was good but it was not brisket meat, it was more like beef deli slices. The fries could've used more salt because they had none. But the sauces made up for it by complementing the fries and sandwich beautifully. The meal came up to about $100 which was pretty pricey, and for the portion size, the meal should've cost closer to $15-16. Overall this was a great experience with a few flaws that would turn this 4 star restaurant into a 5 star restaurant! read more

Ever wonder if Applebees and the Benedix Diner had a baby? Well wonder no more. This place is a gastroenterologist worst nightmare. Baring the innovative branding and clean decor, it's one of the great modern day 7 wonders-why do of people eat here? The waiters are polite, typical of Quebec but that don't make up for the crap they serve up in a plate. Unless you're daily food intake is from Walmart (which is actually probably better) you'd wish you booked a table elsewhere. Trust me. When you see that cute, eye catching piglet branding, listen to Ms Warwick and walk on by. She would and you should too. read more

I've only had breakfast but it was consistently good. Great potatoes. Bread is delicious. Ham is amazing. Shredded and light.

Super cute modern chain brunch spot. Very busy but the wait isn't too long if you're ok with sitting at the bar. Ordering and getting our food took a bit longer but understandable since the bartender had so many customers to take care of. I ordered the charlevoix plate and everything except the waffle was delicious. The Migneron de Charlevoix cheese was definitely the highlight, and it brought the egg and spinach together so well. Very savory. The waffle didn't have the crunchy outside/light fluffy inside, instead it was pretty dense throughout. My husband loved the potato and ate all of his. You get a coffee/latte with your meal which is great. I liked my cafe au lait. read more
