We sampled a bunch of different menu items. The classic beef tartare, one of the listed favourites, can be divisive and not for everyone. Personally, it was a treat for me trying out something different, but I do not think everyone would appreciate its almost raw meat and liver-like texture. The Tartare comes with fries, a salad, and crouton to round up the order. We upgraded the side of fries that came with the Tartare into their Tout Cochon poutine. I was happy with that option that way I was able to sample their house poutine without needing to dedicate a full meal order for it. I can say this was among the best poutines I have had. The gravy was rich and flavourful. The poutine was also loaded with a variety of different proteins like the Gaspor farm ham and the bacon-wrapped sausage. The perron cheese curds also perfectly topped off the whole dish. Our last order was the Quebec pork chop marinated and grilled with maple and tamari. It was served with apple chutney, sweet potato mash, and seasonal vegetables. It is exactly as you would expect with the ingredient details of the dish's name. You get a lot of different flavour profiles and textures with the meal order. Some saltiness with the pork chop then some sweetness with the apple chutney. Meaty tenderness with the pork chop, mushiness with the potato mash, and then some slightly crunchiness with the seasonal vegetables. We dined on Sunday lunchtime the day before Family Day. There were people waiting to be seated by the time we arrived, but fortunately our group of only 2 people has a table spot available so did not need to wait. We were led down flights of stairs to the lower floor which was level with the street below. The whole place with its classic walls and decor exudes with classic charm. read more

Stopped here for lunch during our tour with about 50 minutes to eat before catching our St. Lawrence River cruise. After a long morning, I was starving and needed something substantial. I ordered the half rack of ribs, which was a mixed bag. The flavor was good, but several ribs were so burnt they were completely inedible--straight to the discard pile. They came with a well-dressed Caesar salad featuring seasoned croutons and delicious shaved bacon, plus sliced fried potatoes that were crispy and not greasy in the least. The thick layer of BBQ sauce wasn't quite my style--I'm a dry rub girl--but I was too hungry to care much. No photos because I devoured everything. My dining companion had a chicken sandwich she raved about. She ordered a Nordic spritz while I indulged in some Quebec cider. Honestly, I expected more pork options given the restaurant's name, but they fed us quickly and efficiently, which was exactly what we needed. No real complaints except for those burnt ribs. The interior has eclectic, cool-looking decor that's worth checking out. Our waitress provided quick and efficient service as well. read more

This is one of our favorite brunch place in Canada! Their brunch menu are fantastic and so yummy~ This time, I tried their breakfast menu, and decided to try the breakfast plate. It comes with one or two eggs, bread ( you can choose from white, wheat bread, bagel, baguette, etc.) and fries, which you can change to their breakfast poutine with additional $5! Since I love poutine, I changed my fries to their poutine and it was definitely worth it. The portion was huge that I had shared with my family, even then, we couldn't finish all lol There was bacon, sausage and chicken in the poutine, with hollandaise sauce on top, it was delicious! The other breakfast menu were also good! We'll definitely come back when we visit Canada! read more

My husband and I had great breakfasts here. I did a brunch combo that included an egg and mushroom tartin with one apple and cheese-filled crepe. He had blood pudding with apple French toast and an egg. Our server was so nice and attentive. They spoke both French and English. Walking distant from Hotel 71 and others. read more

Grabbed a Friday night dinner reservation during our trip up north and was met with friendly service. We were greeted at the door and taken to our seats promptly even though we arrived a bit earlier than our scheduled time. We got the petite poutine, ribs, and spaghetti and all in all we found everything pretty good. It was our first time trying poutine and thought they were good as well. They have a nice wine selection so was able to enjoy a few glasses with our meal. The place itself is cute and the restaurant is located on the beautiful Chamberlain street. Worth stopping by and then walking around the area. read more

It's on the main road along the water. Got seated by a staffer after someone came by the receptionist table. The dining is cut up into several smaller areas around the bar. Ordered the Philly cheesesteak with fries, Cochon Dingue style hot chicken with classic Poitine fries. C$56.16 The hot chicken is not at all what I was expecting or thinking. Hot meant it's warm and not cold and definitely not spicy at all. I can't say I am a huge fan of cheese curds, unless they are deep fried. The Philly cheesesteak wasn't bad. Hot chicken here is not spicy, just warm chicken. Brioche bun is just the chicken on a slice of brioche bread is all. I ate the bits of chicken and slaw. The fries were covered in gravy with big chunks of cheese curd. Food overall was plain and bland. Service was good otherwise. read more

Service was fantastic. Randomly walked into this restaurant on the advice of my wife. Has a lot of rabbit on the menu, but we decided to have the salad with the salmon on top and the walleye. Cannot recommend the walleye enough. Capers added a nice element. The puréed, sweet potatoes, and thepolenta was incredible. The polenta was crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I understand this place is expensive, but it was well worth it. Please try it. read more

Great breakfast menu, whether you want "le sucré ou le salé." Wished that we had found it earlier during our 5 day Quebec City vacation. Luckily, we were able to eat two times there.

Poutin is interesting. I like the sausage but the pork is kinda dry. Cheese is a bit rubbery and weird to chew. A bit too salty for me French onion soup is also too salty for me. Lots of cheese La Passion mocktail's pretty good. Love the smell of passionfruit. Just a little bit too sweet Very French restaurant. Nice staff though read more

Nice bistro food in Old Quebec! Their prix fixe menu offers a quality three-course meal at a great price. The royal cake was definitely a highlight. It's like a chocolate cake with a crispy shell.

This restaurant is probably the best thing I've tried in my entire trip in Canada. The service alone was amazing. I accidentally made a reservation for 2, even though I meant to put 3 and the hostess was happy to make changes with no hesitation. She was nice, friendly, and extremely welcoming. The restaurant inside is so modern and clean, it was pleasing to look at. As for food, my parents and I ordered the Breakfast Poutine and lac st -Jean omelette to share. Everything was SO tasty and not too salty. My parents are picky when it comes to food that is too salty, so this was perfect for them. I highly recommend the breakfast poutine, that was my personal fave. 10/10 would recommend to anyone traveling to Old Quebec. read more

We stopped here on our trip for a quick dinner and it did just that. The food ended up being a lot better than we thought. We were seated outside without reservations and it got a bit cold towards the end of the meal but it was okay since we didn't make reservations. The place was big and interesting and the vibe was pretty good. The service was nice, although a little slow towards the end as I feel the waitress forgot about us a little since we were outside. The drinks were good. We got a beer and the unexpected which was a tequila based drink. For the starter we got the pork belly with a maple glaze and a side of corn salsa. The dish was okay the real star was the maple glaze which was nice and sweet. The corn salsa also was a good addition to the dish as well. We got the lobster and shrimp roll too and for the price point it was at it was such a good deal! The roll itself was packed with meat and good quality at that. Was very surprised by this item. My main was the 170g steak with peppercorn sauce and fries. I asked for medium rare and was more of a medium but that was okay. The steak was okay nothing special and the sauce was overall pretty good. Nothing about this dish I loved but I didn't hate it either. Finally we got the vanilla crème brûle for dessert. This was out of this world good! It was so creamy and sweet and the sugar on top was crusted perfectly! Overall this place was what we wanted and there wasn't anything necessarily wrong with it. It didn't blow us away at all though. Would still come back though and recommend a try. *this is only our opinion* read more

We came for an early dinner in mid-August. We ordered the veal flank steak, pork chop and roasted trout. The veal was very tender and flavourful. The pork chop was delicious with the sweet mashed potatoes. The roasted trout was tender and moist. The serve allowed us to order the roasted trout from the table d'hote menu as if it was from the a la carte menu. That was a nice of him. The staff were very accommodating and friendly. Always topping up our water. The restaurant was clean and had a cozy atmosphere. For desert, the 3 of us shared the creme brulee and crazy royal cake. It was so good ! We would recommend coming here for the great food and excellent service. read more

Wow ! Just wow ! Currently finishing my meal . I ordered a pear mimosa and got the Lac St.Jean omelette which comes with a side of toast ( apple butter( strongly recommended ) or house ham made from strawberries and raspberries) and fried potatoes . All breakfast items come with unlimited coffee or one cappuccino or cafe au lait . Juice however is not included . Although the food didn't look like much when it arrived it was truly one of the best breakfast meals I've had. The omelette was fluffy and creamy due to the cheese curds which also provided a slight sharp taste to the overall dish . All of the ingredients within the omelette were also perfectly cooked . The potatoes remind me of the style I cook at home as they use scallions to season them and we're super delightful . The apple butter was as another user said is the best apple butter you will ever have in your life . Super fresh and tart and smooth . If you love apples / apple sauce you will love this . Pear mimosa was the second best mimosa I've ever had in my life . Service was great . Mølanie my server was super friendly and patient with me with all of the questions I had . Please note they really don't do substations or modifications . Also street parking which is paid is competitive as it's located right near the ferry and the edge of old Quebec near the fornicular ( super touristy area ). The worst item was the tap water I was served . I don't believe it was filtered and actually tasted like terrible tap water .But to be fair I am a water snob and it's unfair to deduct points for that . Total came out to be 42 Canadian with tax and tip, which is about $ 31 usd . Not cheap ... especially for breakfast. Highly recommend this place if you're in Quebec want to stop somewhere to get Breakfast and have money to burn. read more

Talk about a pricey dinner for such tiny food! It is tasty, but I paid way too much for what seemed like pub food. I also felt largely ignored because I was one person and was overshadowed by larger groups ahead of me. On a positive note, I got a free appetizer as my server accidentally gave me someone else's order of wings thinking it was mine. Oh well, free food is great! I did hear it is better to come for brunch, but I was here on vacation and knew I had other restaurants to try, so I decided to let it pass. It gets busy here quick, so get a table fast before you have a long wait ahead of you. read more

Quaint neighborhood diner with awesome food and great service. There's a couple of locations in Quebec City.

Food was okay, nothing that stood out. They have a price fixed menu option that comes with an app, entree and desert. We were a party of 5 and was seated in the back. There was no air circulation, by the end of the our meal, we were all dripping in sweat. There were so many flies inside the restaurant and in the bathrooms which is extremely gross. Our waitress was attentive in refilling the water but service for the food was extremely slow. When we finally did get our food, we had to keep swatting the flies around the area which made the whole experience unpleasant. We saw many flies land on the cups and utensils on the empty tables around us. Makes you wonder how clean their kitchen is. read more

Wowza. My favorite breakfast spot. Great service. Indoor and outdoor seating. Meals include unlimited coffee or you can have 1 speciality drink such as a cappuccino. You can order 1-2 eggs for your Benedict, which I feel every restaurant should give this option. The potatoes that came with it were wonderful. You ALSO get a choice of bread so of course I chose the baguette. Comes with choice of homemade jam such as strawberry/raspberry or apple butter. I had the spinach, mushroom, and Brie Benedict and it was superb. My husband had the Classic. 2 eggs, potato, bread, and choice of meat. They gave us a complimentary strawberry mango yogurt shot. So refreshing. We are definitely going back everyday of my trip. read more

Found this spot about our wear about as in Quebec. We decided to try it and ordered the Poutine and falafel. My boyfriend loved the poutine although he did comment he wished they were made with smoked meat vs the sausage. I had the falafels. Personally best falafels I've had. The marinara sauce is lemonishy which gives it a good kick and the linguine is mixed with veggies, delicious. The service was 10/10 and the restaurant was also very clean I would come back. read more
