    Walk up stand for beaver tails. They also have ice cream and poutine. What is a beaver tails? Essentially a fry bread style donut. They add toppings. We did the mEHple - maple syrup, maple Crunchies, and dark chocolate syrup It was so good. The tail came out quickly. It was hot and fresh. So so so good. It was super messy to eat but I think that's to be expected. There's only a few benches so it's more of a grab and go place but it was worth it.

    If you are in Canada and you love donut then you must try beavertails. It's a fried bread shaped like a beaver tail. Plenty of toppings to choose. This place also sells poutine.

    Oh yes! Beaver tails! No silly, these are not the actual tails of beavers, they are long pieces of fried dough shaped in what looks like the tail of a beaver. Then you get your pick of toppings of what to put on it. It is that simple, and tastes great because of it. The price is great too! I got mine with strawberries, bananas, and a hazelnut spread and loved eating it. This is a great dessert or midday snack. If not for expanding waistlines I would have had one each day I was in Quebec City, but a one time deal is good enough for someone in his early 30's. There are not many places to sit inside, so be prepared to eat one on the go. No matter, it will still taste great.

    The fry doe was large and hot got ice cream to go with it for a warm / cold combo that made both better. Service was nice and quick. Store was small on the inside. No parking

    Delicious treat after a night of cocktails! This place was very busy, so that's a good sign. Hot spot for desserts, such as beaver tails and ice cream. I got beaver tail bites with maple and bacon. Soooooooo good!!!!! Excellent and fast service.

    Beaver tails for after dinner or anytime of the day! It is so good that we went back for second before leaving Quebec City. Nice cosy shop and staff prepare the warm crispy crust with your pick of toppings from maple syrup to peanut butter with smarties! A must try when in Quebec City.

    Most delicious thing I had in Quebec City! I'm not a guy that goes for overly sweet things, but I will recommend the beaver tails! I was quite skeptical about this place as I entered the store, but the bread base they used was a chewy/crispy pizza crust consistency topped with whatever you want. I got the Bananarama, which was a Nutella and sliced bananas on the flat bread. They were extremely generous with the Nutella that I could only take a few bites and was happy the share the rest with my sister and mom. But overall, I was amazed by the flatbread and how the bread and Nutella/banana complemented each other. I couldn't stop thinking about getting another beaver tail. Next beaver tail will be the La Classique!

    Bomb fried dessert. I got the Nutella beaver tail and it was delectable. Pretty consistent line out of the building all night. Try it out if you're in Quebec!

    BeaverTails are way better than I expected. When I saw people eating them at other locations I thought they were some fried firm dough bread with slather of chocolate, hazelnut or vanilla cream and would be overly sweet. They turned out to be soft, chewy roundish fried dough that's airy and light. I got the Killaloe Sunrise, which is a cinnamon sugar topping just like a churro but it also comes with a wedge of lemon for you to squeeze onto. The lemon might sound strange but it actually worked well with the cinnamon sugar and it's delicious! Definitely try a BeaverTail even though it seems like a tourist trap. It's a nice treat and I would get it again if I ever come across one in Canada.

    Beavertails are so good. If you're from America, it's much like an elephant ear but better!

All crepes are freshly cooked on traditional billig iron griddles, available in both savory and sweet flavors. I tried the duck confit with goat cheese, and it was incredible. The duck meat is tender and juicy, paired perfectly with crispy yet soft buckwheat crepe crust. Caramelized onions blend smoothly with rich cheese, bringing out such a savory and satisfying taste. Pair it with local cider or fresh Guinness draft beer, and your taste buds will be totally satisfied. A well-loved spot on Rue Saint-Jean in Old Quebec. Expect a short wait on weekends. After your brunch, you can easily wander around nearby bookstores and vintage shops for a nice stroll. Rating: 5/5

The meal was mostly a hit with the shredded duck savory crepes a big hit. The French Onion soup was also very delicious! I did debate whether to try the dessert versions but ultimately stuck with the savory. The only miss was the La Cannoise, with ricotta, spinach, olives, tomato sauce, egg and pesto which was not a hit. Just a weird combination of flavors that I guess I don't find mesh well, this dish was mostly left behind. Service was really friendly and helpful.

It's hard to pick as each item looks better than the last. Sticking with the basics though, croissant, almond filled croissant and a hazelnut roll. Oh my gosh. The almond filling was amazing. Like a marzipan but lighter and more almond flavor. Generously filled into a sliced croissant. The hazelnut roll;similiar to a cinnamon roll but an elevated taste with real hazelnut paste. Basically everything in that bakery is top drawer as they are using pure ingredients. Definitely stop in and try anything. No disappointments only regrets that you eat more!

The place is huge when you walk in, lots of places to sit and enjoy you baked good. We got coffees to go and two cheese croissants and a toasted smoked salmon bagel. The cheese croissants were fresh, fluffy, buttery and layered. They just do pastries better in QC than home (Vancouver). The cheese was nicely distributed through the croissant too. My salmon bagel was also a star! So fresh, good toppings and great crunch. The bagel was chewy and delicious too. Service was fast and we enjoyed everything we had!

Picture this: soft snow falling on the cobblestone streets of Petit-Champlain, fairy lights glowing, and the warm light spilling out of this beautiful little café. I ducked in both mornings of my short trip and could have happily stayed all day. The interior is perfect Québécois charm: exposed stone walls, wooden beams, cozy lighting, and that unbeatable smell of fresh baking. First morning I ordered the pistachio latte and the quiche Florentine. I would legitimately sell my firstborn for that pistachio latte: silky, perfectly balanced, with a rich, natural pistachio flavor that no syrup could ever match. One sip and I was ruined for life. The quiche was flawless: buttery, flaky crust, creamy spinach-and-cheese filling, baked to golden perfection. Absolute breakfast heaven. I braved a full-on snowglobe blizzard the next morning just to come back. This time I paired the same life-changing pistachio latte with the almond croissant. I'd hand over my other kid for daily access to these croissants (kidding... mostly). Impossibly crisp and flaky outside, cloud-soft inside, generously stuffed with fragrant almond paste, topped with toasted almonds and powdered sugar. I ate it slowly by the window while the snow piled up on Rue Notre-Dame and honestly felt like the luckiest person alive. The baristas were friendly, the vibe warm and unhurried, and everything was flawless. If you're in Quebec City, make La Maison Smith non-negotiable (and budget time to visit at least twice). Five stars isn't enough. This place is winter-morning perfection.

The latte I get had a weak taste of espresso and tasted a bit more watery than I'd like. I got a pastry in the morning. Nothing special but also nothing bad. Perhaps their other drinks are better but my latte was simply okay. Service was fast and prompt though.
