We came for breakfast/brunch time while visiting the city. The food was a bit expensive, but very tasty. It was a unique dining experience. The quirky decorations offered a very Canadian experience. The server was quickly accommodating in both English and French. Both meals were delicious. We opted for the $12 mimosa (with $2 refills) available at brunch. Unfortunately, it was very hard to track down our server after our initial order and we we're not able to get more than one refill despite arrive 90 minutes before the offer was up. Besides that, I would recommend adding this to your Quebec City itinerary.
The duck wings were slathered to an excessive degree with an overly sweet sauce. The foie gras was extremely rich while the assorted nuts and berries were again sugar packed. The shepherd's pie was filling and felt like a complete meal. Pork ribs may have been a little overwhelmed by the bbq coating.
La Buche in the slow season is still very popular, we were lucky to be there just as they opened for brunch and by the time we were finished there was a line already. La Buche is a Quebec City must visit. They have a traditional cottage feel interior setting and a cozy table/bench style tables. The decorative items are very French Canadian in the style of a cabin and their menu items are very local. Beware (for good reasons) that all their items are basically sweetened with maple syrup! It was delicious. We had the: - Maple Syrup Cola; it was VERY fizzy so drink it fast and it is fairly sweet - LA TOURTIÈRE FAÇON BÛCHE; a bit on the dryer side, this is a classic meat pie with potatoes, it is a hearty meal - ASSIETTE D'LA CABANE - la totale (Sugar Shack Plate - The Big One); highly recommended if you don't know what to order and want a taste of everything... they crepes was delicious, the sausage, eggs, etc. all drowned in maple syrup, the fruit ketchup was also a nice surprise and worth a try, it was due to this experience that I am a bit obsessed with fruit ketchup now (a ketchup, tomato + vinegar base with fruits like apples, pears, peaches, etc. plus more spices and pearl onions) At La Buche, you can purchase some souvenirs and some of their signature items like their fruit ketchup and maple syrup. It is also offered at their attached store (which was closed for the season) as well as at some of the local stores in the city. It is a great deal/price compared to other local prices. However, if you do want to bulk buy maple syrup, go to a local market/grocer for a better deal. Service at La Buche was amazing, the server took care of everything and the food came out really quickly. As with most things in Quebec, there is absolutely no rush with your dining experience and everything was delicious.
We came around 2pm for brunch (which ends at 3). There were three parties ahead of us, one of them was a group of 16 which we all waited outside. The place has lots of tables and can definitely accommodate big parties hence the party of 16! The decor is super cute and the atmosphere is lively. I love a hearty brunch, and the Sugar Shack plate was perfect -- a little bit of everything, but in real portions, not just tiny bites. The meat was a bit dry on its own, but pairing it with the beans made it much better. We also tried a crepe and it was honestly the best savory crepe I've ever had. The gravy was heavenly, and we were literally scraping every last drop off the plate. Bathrooms are downstairs and coed, with stalls lined along one side of the room. The walls go from floor to ceiling, so privacy is still good. The sink situation is kind of funny since it's a bathtub, but it was a bit awkward to use. Overall, I loved this place and honestly regret not coming back for dinner while we were in town. Would definitely return!
I had a great time at La Bûche. We ordered poutine, French toast, and tried two different beers, and everything really captured that hearty, comforting Québécois feel. The food was tasty and satisfying, and it paired perfectly with the relaxed, rustic vibe of the space. The service was excellent -- friendly, professional, and quick, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. The venue itself was amazing, with such a fun, cozy atmosphere that makes it stand out. Even the bathroom was incredible, which says a lot about the attention to detail throughout the restaurant. Overall, La Bûche offered a memorable dining experience that was as much about the warm hospitality and atmosphere as it was about the food and drinks. PS. Our server was womderful but obsessed with going to the US to eat at Olive Garden and I don't know if I can support that.
The restaurant is cozy and the walls are covered in cute decor. The servers are very welcoming and had great recommendations. I was told to order the famous French onion soup. The soup is savory with a sweet note at the end. We also had the poor man's pudding with foie gras and bacon, it is an appetizer but could be enjoyed as a sweet and savory dessert. The dish that brought light to our waitresses eyes was the deer tartare entree. It was perfect!
The poutine here was absolutely delicious. The onions in the French onion soup were too sweet, but the Shepherd's pie was quite tasty. The waiter did hand us the wrong bill on accident and we had to ask for the correct bill. The ambience was amazing and cozy. The decorations really added to the experience. The bathroom is also decorated in a very unique way.
Beautiful restaurant nestled in old Quebec City. We found this spot on a food tour and came back on our own the next day! Delicious light eggs filled with a mild cheese and sautéed mushrooms, side of sweet apples and savory potatoes- loved every bite! My husband enjoyed the breakfast sampler with small portions of crepe, potatoes, meats and beans! Nice to try multiple small bites!! We enjoyed our breakfast with a view of the busy city streets ! Tip- very popular spot, get there early or make a reservation, especially if you prefer a table with a view.
Immediately when you walk inside you're welcomed by a rustic environment and an old school feel. The place is huge with 4 different sections of the restaurant you can sit at. Went here for breakfast with family and they had some great choices. Their menu is a school book which we loved. The service was great and our waiter was attentive. I ordered the lumberjack casserole which kept me full for a while. I got their crepe on the side which was tasty but covered in a bit more sauce than my liking. Some of their other breakfast items that were more simple like the eggs, potatoes, and ham were good but needed a bit more flavor (what I heard from my family members), but still good. Overall, Great place to stop for breakfast in Old Quebec!
Visited La Bûche around 2 PM and it was super busy, but well worth the wait. The service was surprisingly fast and friendly despite the crowd. The food is heavy in the a good way. The crepe I ate was absolutely memorable (in a good way). The brunch tray was also a good choice. If you are in Quebec City, you should try out this place!
Cozy Quebecois Comfort with Serious Flavor La Bûche was one of the highlights of our Quebec City trip--authentic Quebecois cuisine served in a warm, cabin-chic atmosphere that feels both rustic and playful. You walk in and immediately feel like you're in someone's mountain lodge, complete with woodsy décor and friendly, upbeat energy. We came hungry--and thank God we did. Here's what we had: Soupe aux pois - Classic and comforting, this pea soup set the tone with rich, hearty flavor. Pâté chinois - Think shepherd's pie, Quebec-style. Creamy potatoes, savory meat, and a layer of sweet corn--simple but delicious. Pouding chômeur - A must-try. This maple-soaked cake is gooey, rich, and straight-up addictive. It's called "unemployed man's pudding," but it tastes like a millionaire's dessert. Small Labatt 50 - Cold, classic, and perfect with the heavier dishes. 6 ailes de lapin - Rabbit wings! Super tender with a slightly gamey kick--definitely a unique treat. Pain boule - A crusty round of fresh bread to soak it all up. Tourtière - The star of the night. Rich, flaky meat pie with a deeply satisfying savory flavor. Worth every bite. All that for around $132 CAD for two people including tax--and totally worth it. They even offer 15% off at the boutique next door when you show your receipt, which is a fun bonus. Whether you're a foodie or just curious about Quebecois comfort food, La Bûche delivers big flavor in a down-to-earth setting. It's the kind of meal that sticks with you (in the best way). Can't wait to go back and try more!

Absolutely love dining at La Bûche in Quebec City! This charming spot features authentic Quebecois rustic vibes and incredibly tasty local food. I ordered mimosa, priced at $12 for the first glass and only $2 for each refill, such a great deal. Three tender duck legs cost just $15, juicy and full of flavour. I also tried the luxurious foie gras poutine for $18+20. The rich foie gras pairs perfectly with crispy fries and savoury gravy. Warm atmosphere, friendly service and satisfying portions, definitely a must-try local restaurant. read more
Step into Canadiana! This spot is perfect for a big group brunch, Quebec style! The minute you walk in your see Bonhomme and a bunch of plaid. I booked resos for six of us here on vacation as I heard this spot fills up quickly. We sat at one of their picnic benches in the center room. The decor is awesome, it's filled with ski hill imagery, toboggans, sugar shack stuff, and animals you'd catch in a Canadian forest. I ordered the breakfast of eggs, sausage, toast and hashbrowns with a side yogurt. The breakfasts are HUGE so you can easily share with someone else if you're not in the mood to eat a full one yourself. The eggs were cooked perfectly, the toast buttered and fluffy, the hashbrowns were cooked well and seasoned well which is such a bonus as I find sometimes hashbrowns are lacking a lot. The side yogurt was surprisingly the highlight for me! It came with maple syrup, fruit and granola. I absolutely devoured it! The service was great here too, and they came by with drip coffee top up! They know their audience. I would 100% go back here! read more

I enjoyed the most delightful oatmeal breakfast of my life served in charming saucepan. The rustic decor of the restaurant is transporting and the staff are nice and kind. After visiting LA Buche, oatmeal at home will never be able to compete! read more

Ambience is at the right place. Service was just ok not a full service. Food was overrated so greasy and meat is over cooked and dried for the pork platter. Worth the visit due to high rating but definitely not the food itself. read more

I figured that if I was in Quebec, I should try a traditional Quebecois restaurant. La Buche seems to be quite a popular choice, so we stopped here for lunch. Not surprisingly, there was a line-up. There looked to be about 4 or 5 groups ahead of us, but the hostess said the wait would be around 10 minute, so we decided to stay. She guessed right because the wait was about 10 minutes. We were seated on the patio on a very hot day. So we enjoyed the sunshine and outside atmosphere, except when the garbage truck came by, and when the patio umbrellas couldn't shade us from the direct sunlight. We weren't overly hungry so we only tried three dishes: - Ailes de canard (Duck Wings): Good. I've had plenty of duck before, but not the wings. So it was pretty good, especially the sauce. - Tourtière (Meat pie): OK. I always envision what a tourtière should be like, and it doesn't always hit the mark. It was OK, but some of the meat was quite chunky and dry. The pastry top didn't taste fresh. I liked the fruit ketchup. - Tarte au Sirop d'Erable (Maple Syrup Pie): Good. I've only had this once before, and remember being quite impressed with it. This one was pretty good, but sweeter than what I had before. I liked the nut, seed and blueberry topping. Service was good enough, but because it was very busy, our server wasn't readily available. Service times in Quebec is much longer, so that I expected, but the general busyness just added to it. I was satisfied with my meal, as I don't have much opportunity to try Quebecois cuisine at home. I wish I had more time to try more. read more
Located in old Quebec City this place is recommended for their Quebecois style fare...from meat pies to poutine to dishes with gamey meat. Interior is log cabin style and yes....this is geared towards tourists. Prices were not too crazy though. It is recommended that reservations are made but we didn't have one and still managed to get seated in less than 15 minutes which was good during a dinner rush. Food was decent. The poutine was good and the added meat sauce (which is optional) made it hardier. Portions are really meant for one meaning it's harder to share if you have more than 1 person. Service is swift. A very large group (15+ people) left and I watched all the tables cleared and cleaned in less than 15 minutes. Was amazing. I'm sure there are other more local places that serve similar food at slightly lower prices but this place is worth a visit. read more

This is a restaurant on the main tourist corridor. It caters to tourists. If you're opposed to that or prefer to "eat local" this is not it. That said - the food is VERY good. This was our last night in Quebec and we wanted to eat some traditional fare. La Bouche is near our hotel. We grabbed a reservation (which is a good idea because by 6:30 the standby wait was 20 minutes). The service was fine. Everyone was friendly but I felt the service could have been a bit better (typical tourist standards). There are several indoor and outdoor areas for seating. We were on the back patio, which was perfect. We got the pork rinds, which is not what we were expecting. It's more like some fried ham bits. But they were tasty. Chewy and maple covered. I ate the pork loin. It came with two cuts. One was more bbq style and the other was more traditional roast with gravy. Both were amazing. It was served with a carrot puree (the surprise star of the plate) and a potato cake. All delightful. read more
Amazing experience. Loved doing the maple taffy! Food was incredible (I had the ham). Service was awesome, the waiter was extremely helpful and friendly, also knowledgeable about the history. And finally, the vibe was great. Just an overall solid meal and amazing restaurant. read more
If you're looking to experience authentic Québécois cuisine in the heart of Old Quebec, La Bûche is an absolute must. From the moment you walk in, the cozy, rustic cabin décor sets the tone -- warm, charming, and full of character, just like the food. I came here to try classic Quebecois dishes, and La Bûche did not disappoint. The menu is packed with traditional options, from hearty tourtière to delicious pea soup and maple-glazed meats. They put maple syrup in meats or served as a side which wasn't my particular cup of tea. Portions were generous and the staff was friendly and knowledgeable, offering great suggestions for first-timers to Quebec cuisine. And I have to mention -- the bathroom is truly one of a kind! It's quirky, creative, and definitely memorable. Let's just say it adds to the charm and makes your visit even more unique (don't leave without checking it out!). read more
The biggest piece of advice I can give is get a reservation!!!!!! This cute cozy restaurant is absolutely packed with people and I cannot imagine how long my partner and I would've waited had we not gotten a reservation. We were a bit confused when we arrived because there were two lines outside, but there was a server at the door that told us to wait with others who had reservations during the same time as us. It took us about 10 mins after our reservation time to get into the restaurant but once we sat down things were significantly less hectic. We ordered a mimosa and then two main dishes which we split - the chicken and waffles and the meat pie. The chicken and waffles were absolutely delicious, but if you're not a fan of sweet things then you probably wouldn't like this. The syrup that coats the entire dish is decadent and almost dessert-like, but pairs perfectly with the spices from the chicken. The fresh blueberries were a nice touch too! The meat pie on the other hand was very savory, with a tasty mix of meats under a flakey pastry topping. It came served with a salad (and unknown creamy dressing?) which was pretty good as well. The decor and ambience of this place was definitely unique and has its charm. The staff were efficient and kind as well, and we felt like we had a very pleasant experience here (though the crowds would probably stop me from going too often). read more
We stopped in for breakfast while in Old Quebec and was immediately upon entering we walked into a rustic cabin with stone walls and eclectic art and wood furnishings. The menu offers a variety of options. We had crepes with maple syrup and eggs with maple honey bacon and potatoes, The crepes were buckwheat, thin and very good. Service was very good. This is a good option for true comfort food. read more
So we had a reservation of nine people and checked in early no problem. There was a line going outside the door but once we checked in all we had to do was wait until our reservation time to be seated. The restaurant was packed and had a cabin rustic vibe. Their menu was extensive and I had both the Shepards pie and a whisky sour. I also tried someone's poutine. The poutine was okay. I thought the fries would be better. And the Shepards pie was actually very good but not made the classic way. Normally it would be baked and this was not. Service was okay but we were a larger group and in an odd room. They did their best. Seating was tight but we made it work. read more
Our taxi driver recommended for us to at La Buche in Old Quebec. On TripAdvisor, La Buche is ranked #43 out of #1441 Restaurants in Quebec City. La Buche's website markets the restaurant as "Cuisine Quebecoise" or "Quebec Cuisine". Quebec Cuisine blends French, Indigenous, and British influences together (i.e. poutine). I tried their: - Salmon - Pea Soup - Cocktail - La Beaute Du Lac - Elderberry Liquer, Blueberry Puree, Lemon & Maple Syrup - Dessert - Banana Bread with Whiskey Caramel Service was friendly. Ambiance was upscale casual. ENJOY!! Note: Apparently La Buche and La Buchette are related. YUM YUM YUM! read more
We were a group of four for dinner. Seated out on the back deck/patio at a long table. The atmosphere was perfect. The service was attentive and friendly, and the food and drinks were exceptional. We snacked through a fromage plate, the seared foie gras plate and the Pate Chinois. The price was nice as well. read more
We couldn't leave Quebec City without having a more traditional meal so we decided to check out La Bŭche after several recommendations. I liked the vibe of the place and was the decor was charming - verging on cheesy. Our server brought out the free apps which didn't really do much for us. We each ordered a bowl of pea soup and asked if the shepherd's pie entree was large enough to split. Our server told us it wasn't so we each got our own. We were floored when these dishes came out as it was way too much for one person to each, especially after soup! We both ate what we could but ultimately left more on the plate than we had consumed which felt wasteful. The flavors were okay but there was nothing we had that would make me seek out this place to return to in the future. read more

As a tourist knowing this is a tourist spot, it's still delicious. This was the best maple pie I've ever had, everyone needs to get it. Also got the poutine and loved it. The energy inside is fun and upbeat. It's very Canadian style seating where your right next to strangers and it's a little crowded. But that was fun for me. I liked this place and the servers, would def go back again! read more

Was looking for a place to eat during our day in old Quebec. Saw this place was number one on Yelp and quickly made reservations for 5pm. Very nice relax vibe here. We ordered the appetizer platter which had salmon and beef tartare, duck wing, coleslaw, smoked salmon etc. this was great, not enough crisp bread so we asked for more. Got the foie gras with granola and honey, and bacon jam which was so tasty. For the mains we ordered tourtiere and pork loin with potato rosti. We originally wanted to substitute the tourtiere side for rosti, but I guess language barrier we ended up with the entree. Didn't matter it was quite good with the sweet potato mash. The boys got maple taffy on the house, and we ordered the s'mores donuts which was so good! Enjoyed everything here and glad we came! read more
We have enjoyed eating at La Bûche during both of our visits to Quebec City. It is bustling (crowded) but that's somehow part of the appeal. Absolutely make a reservation or you will have quite a long wait. The vibe is dark and cozy, makes me think of a old European pub from the movies. Service was great, but don't expect this to be a slow, relaxed dinner like a lot of Quebec restaurants. They have a lot of people waiting for your table so they get your food and then bill to you quickly so they can turn the table. I had the pea soup which was tasty! read more

Cute restaurant fairly close to our hotel. It serves Quebecquois cuisine, which of course we had to try since this was our first trip here. Our wait staff was very friendly and engaging. I ordered the Linda Margarita (which has aperol, approved, very refreshing and citrus-y. For a starter, I ordered the fois gras, which was buttery, succulent, and yummy. A salad, because, greens, then the meat pie which had beef, pork, and duck. The top was a buttery puff pastry. My mother ordered the maple glazed pork loin, that was tender,and juicy. It came with a carrot puree and a potato pancake. A really wonderful meal. read more
Had a brunch reservation on our last morning in Quebec City and had an early brunch reservation. We arrived an hour earlier (essentially when they opened) and they had plenty of seats so we were seated. Very friendly service with everyone making sure we were enjoying our meal. All the food we ordered was really good too. Got to try little bits of everything which I really enjoyed. We also got an omelette which was very nice. Everything was great but the ambiance was my favorite part. Super cute place that I definitely recommend visiting! read more
Pure Quebec food! The Poutin was on point, the drinks on point! The waitresses and the waiters are super sweet. We even got a nice seating arrangement. The service was super quick. Although the portions were a little bit small for the prices they were going for. But nonetheless, the everything was amazing. read more
If I could eat here again, I would. The service is friendly and helpful. The shepherds pie was suggested by our server and it did not disappoint. The pea soup was also delicious. The best part was dessert and it was very delightful. The ambiance is a cabin like setting and very casual alongside the streets of Quebec. Would highly recommend! read more
Friendly local spot that has a large menu ensuring everyone can find something to eat. We ordered the crepes and breakfast poutine and both were perfect for brunch on a snowy day. The crepes were exceptionally soft and had a melt in your mouth texture while not being overtly sweet. We were promptly seated despite not having a reservation. Even though we were placed at communal table, the staff spaced the patrons out enough that you didn't feel crowded. A standout feature to me was how friendly and quick the service was despite the restaurant clearly being packed due to a snow storm. Overall it had a very welcoming atmosphere regardless of if you were a local or visiting the city and staying nearby. People of all ages really seemed to be having a good time and it's easy to see why. read more

I didn't like the food. The grandma's meatball was oily, dense and dry. The gravy and mash potatoes were good and the peas were okay. The beef pot pie wasn't very appetizing but the side salad was okay. WiFi didn't work at all and the phone signal was nonexistent. read more
We loved it. You might have to roll us out of there, or we might die at the table of a meat coronary, but we sure would die happy. I was describing to some friends what kind of place it is, and the best possible word I have is "Lumberjack-y". This is the kind of place that has sleds hanging in the rafters and not just taxidermy heads on the walls but taxidermy heads with buckets and sleigh bells draped over their necks and antlers. Meat and potatoes meals. Stick to your ribs food. Big portions. Beer drafts at 12, 20, or 40 oz pours. My order actually had a creamy salad as its side, and it could have had twice as much salad and half as much meat, or it could have lasted me multiple meals. (Did I finish it? I did. I don't have a microwave at my hotel room and no way was I letting this go to waste.) Hubs & I ordered what is possibly the most quintessentially Quebecois entrees, Le Pâté Chinois (a specific shepherd's pie, named not for the country China but for a town in Quebec named China) and La Tourtière, which was a puff pastry topped meat pie with duck, pork, and beef inside. We also got a starter of crispy "pork rinds" which were in fact slivers of pig ear doused in maple syrup (I know it sounds weird but it's a Chinese food too so I didn't even have to wrap my head around that one). Added a side of poutine for kicks and giggles, and let me tell you, when it was fresh from the fryer with crunchy fries and squeaky cheese curds under a blanket of gravy... this is what you come to Canada for. You need to get a reservation, and they pretty much have two settings per evening, but they're also kind of a complex of interconnected restaurants if you didn't plan ahead, you can eat at one of the others. Don't do that to yourself, though. Plan and prepare, and eat like a lumberjack. read more
