    Espresso martini

    Had the best meal of my stay at La Buchette. I ordered the vegetarian Lions Mane entree and was completely blown away with the quality. The portion size is generous. I ordered this at the bar and service was the perfect balance between attentive and having plenty of time relax and enjoy my meal. The ambiance at the restaurant is quite pleasant. I would advise any tourist looking for a fancy meal to give La Buchette a visit.

    I ordered the duck. Someone, the manager?, came to my table and told me that they had run out of duck, but they were going to go to a restaurant nearby and get a duck breast to make for me. Who does that?! I would have happily ordered something else. The result was yummy. I have a picture. The staff here were incredibly nice. I was too tired to speak French, so they switched to English no problem. My only complaint, and it's a complaint I have of most places these days, was that it was too noisy. But what can you do. I highly recommend this restaurant

    The breakfast here was incredible. Perfect to share. Service was amazing. Highly recommend

    Stumbled upon this place while walking around window shopping. Just wanted a little snack to bring back to the hotel. Picked the Linguine Bolognese. It's a very familiar dish so easy to compare. The staff that invited me in was very kind and asked me and my young kids to wait inside away from the cold. He took my order and returned very quickly with my dish. A tiny bit more salty than I'm used to but the kids loved it. Ate almost the entire thing, which is a feat foe them. Plenty of protein in the sauce which added to the flavor. I wanted to stop by again to try another dish but of course as it goes, I did not have time during my short stay in Quebec.

    Raviolii
    Maricel G.

    Ravioli was delish. bœuf bourguignon, tomato salad. Ambiance is right on the main area near the Chateau. Service is excellent and plenty of tables where we were seated immediately. Tip: be prepared to wait at least 35 mins for the beef bourguignon. Every bite is worth the wait. Bon a petit!

    We liked it. We needed a place for lunch and planned on eating at 1640 Bistro next door. We arrived at 11:30 and they were serving breakfast only and it would have been another hour to serve lunch. We walked next door to La Buchette and they were serving both breakfast and lunch. Perfect! We got seated at a 2-top outside right away. Our server came by with water and menus right away. I ordered the French Onion Soup and my wife ordered the Breakfast Casserole. The food came out real fast. Less than 10 minutes. The presentation of my soup was unlike I've ever had. Two slices of bread with melted cheese were served on the side. I ended up placing one of them in my soup, then cutting it up. The soup had a decent flavor but it was only served somewhat warm - not hot. Not worth sending back, especially after I'd added the bread slice to it. I ate it all none the less. My wife's casserole was large. The over medium eggs were perfectly done. The casserole ingredients were layered, so it was a bit of a dig to find it all. The flavors were good. If there was a con, it would be there was too much sausage and not enough bacon. Service here was quite pleasant. We decided to order a coffee and soft drink after our meal to hang out here a bit longer before our bus tour started. We'd come back to La Buchette. In fact, tomorrow night, we have reservations for La Buche, a fine dining dinner restaurant within the same ownership group.

    La Buchette is a "just ok" spot. It was New Year's Eve when I went, so really busy and we sat at the bar. Service was very good, but the food was a bit underwhelming. I had the burger with bacon and fries. It got the job done but I would rather have eaten at La Buche for a second time that day.

    Mezcal Espresso Cocktail

    My friend and I stayed in Old Quebec area. We wandered around to look for a place to eat and found La Buchette (located within Hotel Aubuerge Place d'Armes). We loved it so much that we went back again to eat at La Buchette within the same trip. La Buchette is marketed as "Buvette Québécoise" or "Quebec Refreshment Bar". Their website notes the Cuisine / Type as "Regional - Canadian - French - Bistro - Wild Game - Breakfast - Buvette - Brunch - Great Selection of Cocktails". For Trip 1 (Dinner), I tried their Fish (Artic Char) and a Mezcal Espresso Cocktail. My friend and I shared desserts (Carrot Cake and Almond Croissant). For Trip 2 (Lunch), I tried their Lions Mane Mushroom Dish, Shrimp Wild Rice Salad, and some Red Wine. My friend and I shared a dessert (Chocolate & Maple Cookie). Definitely worth a visit. I loved the Artic Char and the Lions Mane Mushroom entrees. Note: La Buchette is marked as #133 out of #1441 Restaurants in Quebec City on TripAdvisor.

    Beef Pot Pie
    J M.

    We arrived at this touristy restaurant around 4 pm and were limited to a reduced menu that was neither lunch nor dinner. If you don't like raw meat (steak tartare), there weren't many choices that were appealing either. I had the Grandma's Meatball, which was a dense, ground beef patty that seemed full of breading. It tastes okay, but the mashed potatoes and gravy were the items that provided some moisture and flavor. The peas as a side were okay, but nothing to crave again. The other dish we ordered was the beef pot pie. It was very disappointing and had ground beef in a mushy filling. The side salad was large but the dressing was tart. I don't recommend this place, at least not in the afternoon. Prices were high too.

    Great spot and best food in town! Go and support them, their are a true gem! We visited with husband for a long weekend and I reserved this spot and definitely wasn't disappointed! They don't rush your food so be prepared to actually take your time!

    If you are visiting Quebec, this restaurant is a must!! I tried the duck carpaccio (recommend by the waiter) and wow, I was so shocked by how DELICIOUS this was. Absolutely mind blown. I am back in the states and have been looking everywhere to find a place that sells this dish haha. Please order this dish, if will not disappoint. The oysters were so fresh and delicious. As an oyster enthusiast, I was very pleased. The beef tartare was also very fresh and amazing as expected. The salad that came with it was also very good. The service here was also excellent as my server gave great recommendations and explanations.

    Quebec pie
    Dave T.

    In town from the states and wanted something "Quebec". We went here and were happy with our choice, the atmosphere and staff are inviting, and willing to explain the unique dishes. I got the Quebec pie, my friend got the deer tartare. Our appetizer was fois gras (duck liver). All were elegant and tasty. I was impress with the detail of the dishes. This is worth your time.

    Oysters and beef tartare
    Eli S.

    Food was ok .. not bad but not great . Was expecting more with all the great reviews here. Oysters were ok not the best and they didn't come on ice. The beef tartare didn't really have lots of flavor and was pretty bland. The service was good though and the ambiance was nice. I think this place is mostly for tourists. Didn't feel a lot of love in the food

    The food was not good and lacked flavor. The service was inconsistent. My husband's dish was completely cold.

You make a separate reservation and then enter through a black door and green curtain. Service is phenomenal. The bartenders and weight staff, as well as manager, all greet and serve you. They are extremely knowledgeable, and I love their forward thinking. They only use local ingredients for their drinks. If it doesn't grow in Canada or Quebec, they do not use it. So they do not use things like citrus. Instead, they come up with other ways to bring the flavor into their cocktails and food. And definitely try some food! We went for the drinks, but the food blew our minds. We got some mixed tapa plates and loved it all- especially the homemade beef jerky. The back patio is so nice during the summer.

That means, no basic ingredients like citrus are used. That's basically telling the bartender they cannot make 99% of cocktails in mind and have to take risks to make something tasty happen. That concept in itself is a recipe to create things that will be genuinely and authentically Canadian. In other words, experimentation at its finest. Opened in 2024 by the team behind Quebec City's only 2 Michelin starred restaurant, Taniere, this is now the spot to be for those in the know. So, how is trial and error going of crafting something genuinely Canadian? Cocktails are superb on both taste and presentation. The food is remarkably plated with extremely high quality ingredients. Everything tastes excellent. If that's not enough, the entire interior looks like a very private club and the team of servers and bartenders is superb and welcoming.

With hail and…read moresnow hitting my face, my mission was to find a place for my family to eat when almost every place is either closed or full. One lady in lower town took special delight in telling me "sorry, we're all full tonight", while I stood there with numb fingers and a raw red face where hail hit my face moments before. I passed Alphonse many times the last few days but tonight, instead of just passing through, i stopped in to look inside as another customer held open the door waiting for me to enter as he exited. So naturally, I went in. I was afraid they were about to close, but the hostess was welcoming and with a warm smile, showed us to our seats. The food was so good! We ordered the French Onion soup. My kids loved that the bread in the soup was still crunchy and not soggy. The baked Brie was a delicious start of what is to come next. My entree was the low temperature salmon. It was the chef's special (they call it inspiration of the chef). It was a salmon dish that is lukewarm. The salmon was so tender, it melted like butter in my mouth. It was a decent portion too. We got dessert to share- crème brûlée- also good! Ambience is smart casual.

The scallops were cooked perfectly and the risotto had such a great flavor, so creamy. My dad got the burger, which was actually sliced beef brisket but he said the flavors were great and the meat was tender.
