“Definitely family friendly. Preface, I was visiting QC from the States. I kind of liken this place as a Cracker Barrel, but with a more modern ambiance. The menu is simply curated, and it covers all the bases. Keep in mind the Canadian palate is a little different than Americans. The portions are smaller, but the food is more thought out. We're not just talking eggs and bacon here. More of a First Watch menu. The staff was super nice and helpful. French is the primary language here, but the staff tried very hard to communicate with me. They made me feel very comfortable. They do have menus in english if you request them. They told me Normandin restaurants use to be a staple in every Quebec town. Times were a little rough, and they eventually had to re-invent themselves to what they are today. So there are less locations, but if you look you will still find them off major highways. For a quick and nice sit down breakfast you will find this place perfect.“

“Yesterday was our 4th visit to the Lair and it still felt like the very first time. This place is magical, the service impeccable and attentive, the flavors are full of finesse, the dishes are sophisticated, magnificent and bring back vague happy memories. Truly, it’s our favorite restaurant in the world. Nothing compares to it and it’s an experience you never forget. This is definitely a must try in a lifetime!Thanks again to the whole team for making us experience this, time after time. “

“After four enjoyable visits in recent years, I feel the need to emphasize the extent to which it is an essential address for Quebec gastronomy.Both the service, the decor and the dishes are impeccable. The staff is passionate about their products and fascinating in their explanations, while trying to adapt to the tastes and knowledge of the customers. They don't hesitate to let us taste their bottles to help us make our choices; we find what we're looking for even if we have difficulty differentiating between regions, grape varieties and winemaking techniques and our oenological lexicon is limited to "I like that" and "I don't like that".The glass service and small plates to share allow you to travel through a wide range of flavors. The freshness and depth of the dishes highlight local ingredients with unsuspected virtues.Apart from the bill which can add up quickly, especially with a slight elbow (you have to remember that you are paying for a trip, not for a dinner), the burden on us is to choose from the dishes offered. But don't hesitate too much: be confident that everything will be delicious.In short, congratulations for the hydne with parsley cream and dill... and everything else.“

“Une des meilleures expériences que j'ai vécue. 1 menu dégustation classique et 1 végétarien avec 1 accord mets et vin. Le menu végétarien était original et goûteux, j'étais agréablement surprise, car bien souvent déçue des menus végétariens. Service impeccable. J'y retournerai assurément❤“

“The food is wonderful. You must try the duck wings, soy style. They were outstanding and we could have eaten them all day. The onion soup, elk stew, and chicken burger were all very good. Pub food and atmosphere (a little dark and dingy), but very friendly. Music is a bit too loud. I recommend reservations.“

“Been here a couple times - friendly and welcoming service into a perfect ambiance, and absolutely delicious food. There is always a line at the door - it moves quickly, and is always worth the wait. They make the best crepes here, but I would recommend anything on the menu <3“

“Amazing restaurent. Great ambiance and atmosphere. Absolutely loved this place. Took the braised beef, was delicious. We also tried the smoked meat sandwich, cold-cut pizza, burger, onion soup and escargots… all amazing! Must try if you are in quebec city!“

“We had a very good experience here. The food was quite good, the service was friendly, and the space was relatively attractive. I recommend this place, with caveats.Perhaps I set my expectations too high. For the price point, everything should be flawless. My comments are not complaints, just observations to guide other diners so they know better what to expect.One thing that is more than a nitpick is that the left wall (brick) in the restaurant is lit with modern tubular lights that I found very harsh. I was facing that wall, and really regretting it. They should be turned lower significantly, or better yet, replaced with bulbs that have a much lower value on the warmth scale. (These were about 6,000K, whereas a 3,000K would be much less harsh on the eyes.) It contributes to a modern aesthetic that is too cold.The music playlist was varied, and occasionally a bit too hip-hop for my taste. This is an individual taste and not a general complaint.Most of the dishes were excellent. I would recommend the add-on of the foie dish if it is available. It was really memorable and decadent.The portion sizes are spot-on, and generally well-balanced. On the night we were there, one dish, the tuna, lacked seasoning and was visually unappealing. But the fish was perfectly cooked. It just lacked visual appeal and taste.I found the informal service manner of sitting with the patrons on the banquette, or squatting while conversing with the diners to be a bit odd. I suppose it is meant to express a casual friendly hospitality, but it didn't work for me. But "a chacun-a-son-gout" as they say.Enjoy!“

“The food was excellent as always (blessed salmon tartare). This is the second time we have had the same server (unfortunately I didn't remember his name, next time!). He is efficient, listens to his customers' needs and always takes a few seconds to chat. He does it with EVERYONE. Moreover, all the staff are friendly and professional.Parking: I've never had trouble parking, so the space must be able to accommodate all the restaurant's customers.Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant is at ground level, no stairs. The toilet can easily accommodate a wheelchair (I don't remember if there are handles on the wall though). I think it is very easy to accommodate an armchair at the tables, you just have to ask for it when you make your reservation.“

“We had our rental next to this restaurant, and what a great discovery. We were not disappointed having dinner there, we let ourselves be tempted by the weekend poutine which was just delicious, the salmon tartare and a burger. We finished with a beaver tail with maple syrup. Everything was extremely delicious, prepared with love and with excellent products. the welcome is more than friendly. Everyone takes care of themselves. It’s a shame that we weren’t able to return there a second time during our visit to Quebec.“

“One of the most flavourful meals I’ve ever had, in the most beautiful surroundings imaginable, with the finest and most elegant service: a magnificent meal fit for a king, yet it cost less than eating at the trashy tourist traps just down the street.“

“The restaurant is only over 60 years old but in a building that is over 300 years old. The atmosphere is so warm and comfy with the service being exceptional. If you are a tourist in Quebec and want to try some of the local dishes, this is a place I recommend without breaking the bank and being authentic and flavourful at the same time. My kids enjoyed the meals by the fireplace and will always be a great memory for us visiting Quebec.“

I had the scallops, VERY tasty. Food came out at a great pace. Drinks were stiff, Jordan even brought us a few shots extra just because.Desert... The house special Maple pudding with melted cheddar cheese DON'T SLEEP ON IT! it was insane!! I can't stop thinking about it.Felt like we were having dinner at a friends house and I mean that in the highest of compliments. So good I had to thank the Chef before we left.“

“My group of 12, who came partly from Alberta, had many expectations which were all met. Excellent family evening, abundant food, lively music, impeccable service. We were all delighted. Our big eaters asked for some of the dishes served again and it was with a smile that the dishes were renewed. We danced to our hearts' content. A thunderous atmosphere. The entertainment was excellent. The visit to the site in French for part of the group and in English for the other was rich in history. Well done to the owners and thank you to the team who provided the service. And which contrasted with other places visited during our stay. Éliane Collin“
