Such a hidden gem — just tucked away off the main street and absolutely worth it! This cozy little restaurant recently celebrated 50 years, and it’s easy to see why it’s stood the test of time. The menu is small, but everything is done perfectly. The service is so warm and unpretentious — we dined in with our toddler and baby and felt completely at ease.
For dinner, we loved the French onion soup and fisherman’s pie, and our toddler couldn’t get enough of his grilled cheese. We came back for brunch and really enjoyed the homemade hot chocolate, croque madame, and classic egg benedict. Highly recommend!

We decided to go to Quebec City for Christmas Eve last minute and this is the only restaurant that has Christmas dinner available. I saw many good reviews so I made the booking. We were surprised to know there was only one menu for Christmas of $80 a person with a cold cauliflower soup (tastes like gasoline so we didn’t finish), one tiny fois gras, 3 tortellini - as main dish! and a dessert. We had to order ramen after dinner because that’s not enough for half a person and food didn’t taste so great. Such a rip off. I believe their regular menu is better and more reasonable, too bad we went there for Christmas Eve dinner.

On my week long vacation here in Quebec City, I have had the pleasure of eating at some really great restaurants, however this was by far the best! The owner and the staff along with his sister who waited on us, made sure we were well taken care of. The food was excellent and the atmosphere was perfectly cozy on a cold winter day. We had a late lunch and will be coming back for brunch on our last day out. This is the sort of place that you will want to come back to time and time again.

I am very disappointed with the Chrismas dinner at this restaurant. The food is extremely salty, and I don't understand how other customers can eat such salty food.

Please close your business for Christmas night. Don’t make this dirty money. We made reservation for this 4 meal option. It was an extremely bad experience. Feel sick after the food, my tongue and my stomach. The Christmas dinner, which costs $80 plus tax per person, price isnt a big deal at all, but the food is so perfunctory. Every dish is toooo salty to swallow, the cold soup tastes like pure large amount of salt in the cold water and the amount of dishes is also pitifully small. Did the chef lost sense of taste? The main is 3 tiny dumplings in the plate, 4 dishes, 3 cold one in a cold winter night. After eating, it's like not eating anything. But I need to drink two bottles of water to relieve such a salty dishes. We need to find another restaurant to fill our stomachs. From the dishes, you can feel that the restaurant's attitude towards guests is very rude. This is a Christmas dinner. My friends from Vancouver to visit Quebec City, I'm very angry.

We had the Christmas 4 course dinner and it was amazing. I am a little confused by the previous reviews especially regarding the service. They had our food out quick and were constantly refilling our waters. It felt very cozy in the restaurant. Considering it was a 4 course meal they usually come out in smaller portions but it was plenty of food. My favorite part was the soup, it was very flavorful. The desert part of the 4 course menu was okay but ultimately this was a great experience all around. I think maybe some were not prepared for the Christmas day 4 course meal only option.

The menu only left us one choice. Four dishes for $80 wasn't even enough to fill our stomachs. The ingredients were average and the taste was average. The service was terrible, it took a long time before the water was replaced, plates were collected very slowly and food was served very slowly. There is no atmosphere, the tables are set very crudely, the lighting is not good and it is not suitable for taking photos.

We enjoyed this Christmas Eve dinner very much. It was a “fixed” 4 course meal with few options . . . I believe there was a vegetarian option. I think I can show the menu below. Great presentation, great taste. . . As I said, we enjoyed it.

My partner and I had a wonderful dinner here. The mushroom risotto is one of the best dishes we have ever had. We also tried their seasonal dessert which was a strawberry basil Yule Log. Amazing! Our server was Flora and she was so incredibly kind. We will definitely come back the next time we are in Québec.

BEST PLACE WE ATE IN QUEBEC!!!! THE DRINKS WERE PERFECTION; THE FOOD, DIVINE; AND THE STAFF….OWNERS AND OTHERS WERE SO PERSONABLE …. EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE VERY BUSY!!! TOOK THE TIME TO CHAT WITH US AS WE ENJOYED DRINKS, APPETIZERS, SOUPS, MAINS…….OMGOSH I COULD GO ON AND ON…..BEST ESCARGOTS ANYWHERE! TOO BAD THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A HIGHER STAR THAN 5✔️
Super cute place with personalized service. Food was great (risotto was amazing) and warmed me up on a cold day, well priced for the area, quality of product and service.
FANTASTIC MEAL!! I hardly ever write reviews but this place was amazing!!! It’s a hidden gem with excellent food, great staff, and cozy vibe. I had the mushroom risotto with duck confit and it is probably one of the best meals I’ve ever had!! Do not miss this if you are in Québec City!!!!

Stopped here for lunch after reading about it. My wife is a huge french onion soup lover and someone said they had the best in town. She was actually pretty angry because she didn’t get much cheese on her soup and the guy next to us got a ton. I kept telling her she got the less because we are Americans . Regardless, the soup was exceptional it has incredible flavor and I agree it is one of the best French Onion soups i’ve had. She also got a burger and I got the Seafood pie. It was basically Shepard pie with shrimp and scallops. And was very very satisfying. The only draw back is that I am a fat f and the tables are spaced pretty close together. Not a lot of room to move. Otherwise, the food , the service and the price made for a wonderful lunch.

Stumbled into this cute spot without a reservation on a Sunday night. The service was great and the food was delicious. We were even treated to a delicious crème brûlée!! Favorite dish was the fois gras. I would recommend :)

Adorable place, funny waiter and scrumptious food. The hollandaise eggs over spinach were the best I’ve ever had. My son enjoyed the Croque-Monsier and my daughter loved the frittata. Portions were solid. Would go back for sure.
