Maybe they're under staffed today but man the service is slow AF here.. been here for over an hour now and we only had a piece of bread that we ordered 30 mins ago.. would not come here again considering how slow they are. Really disappointed because this is my husband and my last dinner in Quebec before we leave to Boston.

We’ve been regulars here, mostly for brunch, and have always enjoyed the food. Unfortunately, last night’s dinner was a real disappointment, especially the steak.

To start, there’s only one doneness option for the steak: medium rare. Odd for a restaurant of this caliber, but we figured they must have perfected it. Turns out, we were wrong. The steak arrived almost entirely well-done, with only the faintest hint of pink in the center.

We sent it back, expecting the mistake to be addressed professionally. Instead, the waitress met us with defensiveness and a baffling excuse: “Your steak was overcooked because you didn’t eat it fast enough.”

As a chef, I know how absurd that claim is. Overcooking happens in the kitchen, not on the plate after it’s served. I chose to walk away rather than escalate the situation, but the rudeness of that interaction left a bitter taste.

Had they handled the mistake with grace, I might have returned. But after that encounter, I won’t be coming back. It’s a shame to see a place we used to enjoy fall so short.

Ok, so this was our favourite restaurant in QC until we had push back from the waitress telling us it was our fault for not eating our steak fast enough! It was supposed to be medium rare but came out medium well and dry AF. Apparently a steak keeps on cooking in your plate … duh ! So sad!

I had a most excellent Bruch. The tartiflette and gravlax were both amazing, highly recommend!

Over time, my favorite eggs benedict became a weird thing with pumpkin seeds and not even Hollandaise sauce. I won't have lunch there anymore. The lunch menu just made it weird.

A lovely experience overall. We had the pleasure of dining here on a Monday night. We had the squash donut, which wasn't anything we expected but a pleasant surprise. The open ravioli as an appetizer was underwhelming for the price, in our humble opinion, it was small and not as decadent as we hoped it would be, but taste is subjective and I would not discourage one to try it. For 17 $, however, we expected more. The pork tenderloin was nice, but a little on the dry side. The service takes time between courses, and the wine by the glass was not a usual pour and at a relatively hefty price point for the quantity. There are many restaurants in the area; I think a few tweaks may be necessary for a return visit to be warranted.

Atmosphere would have been a 5 except for a very large party with an occasional screeching child with poor parental control. Food and service awesome.

Waitress: “In Quebec you have to leave a minimum of 20%”
I understand that on a French table almost $2000 in turnover, $100 more for the waitress is fine.

Please don't do this, it's called extortion. Respect everyone. THANKS

Absolute gem of a restaurant with delicious food, friendly service, and quaint atmosphere. Menu items are unique and prepared perfectly with fresh ingredients. Definitely recommend reservations, especially on weekends, in order to ensure you get to experience Le Hobbit.

This restaurant had a nice ambiance but the food and service were super disappointing. The wait time for our table was almost twenty minutes. It was over twenty minutes before anyone came to take our order. And we waited more than thirty minutes for our food which arrived cold. That's over an hour of waiting for disappointing meals. And our server even forgot one of our starters.

It's almost unbelievable that we charge over $20 for a cold poached egg with cold hummus. I would not recommend this restaurant.
