Restaurant La Buche in Québec City

Great food! Even better service. Cozy warm atmosphere takes you back in time. A definite most visit! Kid-friendliness: Kids menu is limited for dinner but has desserts that come with the meal

We had the Shepard pie and trout salad. It was good but the tomatoes of the pie were too sweet for me. Wish it was less sweet. Worth the experience. The trout salad was amazing but still the sauce was sweet.

A very holiday festive decorated place to visit for Christmas. The waiters are all dressed in Scotland style clothings and are all very friendly to customers. They have a wide selection of food to choose from ranging from the most basic poutine to deer meet. Their bathroom has to be the most interesting and creative bathroom I ve ever been to in a restaurant. Their food is very delicious and I like it very much; however, it s a little too salty and sweet for me on the main dish and the desert. Other than that there s nothing to complain about. 10/10 great restaurant

The best breakfast I had in my whole visit, great service and very friendly staff. Try the FRENCH toast with the thick cut bacon, mmm good. Food

Many thanks to Myke, co-owner, who clearly has the well-being of his customers at heart! Our waitresses, Olivia and Emy, provided excellent service! The atmosphere was both cozy and energetic. We will definitely come back.

We go to this restaurant several times a year, even though we are from Montreal. It s our guilty pleasure. Its very good! Really good. Too bad the line at the entrance includes people with reservations and others. However, the restaurant was marked full . We arrived early but waited over 15-20 minutes before speaking to anyone. On our last visit, our table was given to someone else after a 10 minute delay. We were afraid it would be the same this time... Several people passed in front of us, claiming to have a reservation. Having known The check should be done on the steps at the entrance or outside. The person at reception found our reservation but the note indicating our wish to have a window did not seem indicated. He mentioned to us that everyone wants a window. However, we had booked more than 2 weeks in advance and were there before the reservation time. He offered us to wait. Good news, we finally got a window. Once seated, everything was fine! The meal is hearty. The price is right! The service is excellent. Parking: Public parking nearby Kid-friendliness: Good choice of meals for children! Wheelchair accessibility: No accessibility

Loved this restaurant. Great food and service. Super portions.

Very warm welcome, excellent meal! Kid friendly++

Very good Chinese pastry but service a little quick, as soon as we finished eating we understood that we had to release

Use to be one of my favourites place in Old Quebec. I was there two days ago, and the experience was horrible. The waitress (Carla) bought the wrong order, forgot part of mine (my coffee), and try to remove the dishes before we have even finished. Also, bought the bill while we still eating. Basically we were pushed to leave th please, even though there was no line and many tables empty. It was very uncomfortable.

It is a very nice place, the service is very good, I recommend it 100%

Great food. Friendly service. Amazing atmosphere. Highly recommend and would come here again!

Good experience

Excellent restaurant, I recommend booking in advance to avoid waiting outside (especially in winter)

We loved it so much we went back the next day!! Staff is funny and friendly and the breakfast was the BEST!!

On this Tuesday, December 17, 2024, we had an exceptional culinary experience. Fast service, smiling and welcoming employees and a warm atmosphere. The meal was delicious, we have never eaten so well in ages! Thank you for your impeccable service. Keven and Véro :)

Nothing to say just perfect, very good service, good food, onion soup a big 5 stars, very clean and very original bathroom.

Great welcome and service. The staff was very pleasant and the food excellent

Filling, rustic tasty food. Great service, too. In a authentic, cozy atmosphere.

Impeccable all the way!!

Big thanks to Mimi the candlelight girl from Prémont for suggesting this restaurant, very good service, excellent food and very courteous person, I really recommend this restaurant!!

What a great breakfast spot! My wife and I absolutely loved the atmosphere, the great service and delicious food. 5 stars for sure

I was randomly walking down the street, saw their menu, and knew I had to go in. The tourtière was the best thing Ive eaten in Quebec so far. Great food, tasty beer, excellent service, and a charmingly rustic atmosphere. Absolutely worth stopping in. Try a Caribou wine digestif to round out your meal.

Amazing meal, friendly staff, great atmosphere. I really enjoined the Shepard pie.

Delicious home style cuisine, ample servings, awesome dessert!

Love, love, loveeeeee this restaurant. Food, service, and atmosphere are amazing. Highly recommend if visiting Old Quebec. Their poutine is amazing

Kid-friendliness: Yes Wheelchair accessibility: No Food : 5/5 |

The food and atmosphere is amazing. Do not miss!

What a great discovery, good value for money, clean, delicious. A lunch like nowhere else. I love it Very welcoming and exceptional service. I will go back

Excellent food and service.

We came here tipsy after a mixology class at our hotel. We ordered the ASSIETTE D LA CABANE - Sugar Shake Plate the Big One for two and everything was amazing. Everyone was friendly and very nice! This place was a great time. Amazing music selection. Definitely a vibe in there. Highly recommended!!

Friends brought us, I didnt really know what to expect, I took something I wouldnt normally have and it was delicious! Very generous portions, service was great except that they got our bills wrong several times but thats a detail

Excellent for a brunch you can go there with your eyes closed

10/10. It s always busy, but the service is great, and the food is amazing!

I loved the food! The service was amazing as well. Food

Dinner was really good here. They serve up some of the best Quebecois food in the area. Theyre usually quite busy so you know its good! Would definitely come back!

Recommended by our tour guide. So happy to have taken up his recommendation. Went for breakfast, so good. The French toast a must try. Definitely will go back on our next trip back to QC.

Great!! Amazing decor, a good atmosphere and very good food!! We spent our 2 evenings in Quebec there!! Small downside on the welcome, we saw a lot of waitresses pass by before one of them welcomed us. I love your bathroom

A fun place to go for breakfast. Staff is in good mood, beautiful atmosphere and excellent breakfast.

Delighted with the experience! There were 4 of us and we ate the whole log, a very hearty meal, we are 3 big eaters and we didnt finish.. Excellent value for money and full of discoveries! We strongly recommend it during your visit to Quebec.

Lo amè! The best breack f hola

Delicious and excellent service!!!!

Looks great but good luck getting a table. Even with a reservation you ll be standing outside in the snow waiting. Bring snacks, a book and a blanket to help last the time

Im not usually a fan of breakfast foods, but this place is absolutely amazing. Portions and quality were excellent. Food came out fast, despite being quite busy. Service was great too.

Liked the complimentary starter of pork rink, unique combination of salty & sweet caramel. Didnt really like the recommended signature Pate Chinois that I ordered, the red wine braised beef was so dried. Wish I would have ordered some other dish. Ordered draft whitbier too but nothing fancy it was quite watery. For such a highly rated restaurant I would expect more. Service is good with smile but the restaurant quite small so its a bit smoky for me when its crowded, and theres no place to hang our jackets so it can be a bit stuffy to be around, also the place i sat was too dim of light.

Really fun experience here, Caroline was awesome and so kind to our family! Coming from the US, I wouldnt say the kids menu is super kid friendly but we tried it and both kids (3 & 5) surprised us, eating the poutine & the nuggets! The shepherds pie was amazing, and atmosphere was great. Fun for a first dinner in the city!

First time having a poutine and it was totally amazing!

Excellently prepared food and a friendly staff. Packed in tables so is not a quiet meal though we did not have any issue conversing among our party. Children encouraged. Meat pie, Shepards pie, onion soup, pea soup, and meat pie nuggets were all excellent. Barolo wine was perfect with the meat pie.

For being highly reviewed and recommended this place was an absolute let down and a definite tourist trap. We had a 9AM reservation which was only an hour after opening and they were already out of bread! So instead of french toast we had to substitute for waffles which we could tell were the frozen generic kind you could get at grocery store. They werent even that warm when served. The food was bland and overly smothered in sauce. The only redeeming quality of the restaurant was it had a nice atmosphere and the server was nice. It definitely was not worth the trouble of making a reservation and putting down a cancellation deposit. I would not recommend this place to anyone and probably will not ever visit it again. We have had a better breakfast experience at the cafes nearby.

Delicious food and we appreciated how they got us seated during a busy brunch! Nice staff. Very yummy homefries. Would definitely go back!

It was a cold snowy day. All the others were booked full and we finally stumbled upon this place that took us in about 3 min asking us to wait for a bit. Service was really nice the entire time- he had a smile on and attentive to us despite it being super packed. We felt welcomed. I ordered the wall eyed filet and my husband ordered the deer tartare. Delicious. Both our first times eating this type of dish- pleasantly surprised. It s a plus we got a window seat to look at the beautiful snow outside while eating good food in a nice comfortable atmosphere. Music is just a bit loud but we are able to still carry conversation throughout and able to still hear each other . Strongly recommend

I recently visited La Bûche in Quebec City, and while it was a good experience overall, it didn t quite meet my expectations. The food was decent but not as great as I had hoped, especially considering the high reviews. We had to wait in a long line in the cold weather, which added to the anticipation, but unfortunately, it didn t live up to the hype. That said, it was still a unique experience, and the ambiance was nice. It s worth a visit if you re in the area, but don t expect it to be extraordinary.

Great breakfast place with great options. The cosy vibe and amazing home brewed coffee which is pretty much refillable . There was a long wait but it was all worth it. Their breakfast platters were huge. Specially their pancake and blackberry.

Excellent option to try the typical food of the Quebec region. Excellent atmosphere and the service is very attentive, we really enjoyed some beers.

Very well eaten, I recommend this restaurant

Excellent Quebec cuisine and impeccable service.

Even though I went at 9:30 in the morning, it was full, so I shared a table. I ordered French toast, crepes, and coffee, and they were all above average. They used opaque maple syrup, but it had a lighter, sweeter feel (?), so it was delicious. I ordered a cappuccino and then added drip coffee. The drip coffee was recommended. They also provide refills. I liked the Canadian-style atmosphere of the store the best.

WoW What a spectacular lunch we had! The service was so excellent too!

Excellent food, great staff, very friendly atmosphere

Best place to eat like in a sugar shack! Well Alex thank you, a great time! The French will come back

Very well served by a young girl, the toilets are original, the atmosphere is very friendly and the food excellent

Great discovery of this typical and welcoming restaurant. Trappers cabin atmosphere, good meals like at grandmas and the friendliest staff. We highly recommend but remember to make a reservation because there is always a queue.

Meals are very tasty, the chicken waffle is one of my favorite

Beautiful atmosphere!

Very warm welcome Very beautiful decor The dishes are plentiful and very good

I saw this restaurant on a TV show. We were not disappointed with this restaurant! The kitchen is sick! The staff even more! They are helpful, kind, and so pleasant! Super fast service and the restaurant was full! I have nothing negative to say!

I highly recommend! A very warm atmosphere and server. We had a great evening. Dish: Chinese pâté (a must-try specialty!) and bison flank steak. Very very good

Our first night in Québec city..lucky to walk in and got a table. Super busy but the staff were so friendly. The food is authentic Québécoise fare. Our server Marie was fantastic. Merçi beaucoup.!!

French tourist, we didnt know where to eat and five of us showed up without reservation. After a few minutes of very normal waiting we were taken to a table and made to feel welcome. We discovered Poutine, the liter of beer. Very satisfied

I visited by myself for brunch (around 10:30 on weekdays). The restaurant was busy and I was asked if I had a reservation, but I didnt have one, so I waited for a few minutes. I went to the counter, but there were so many people coming and going right behind me that I was handed a bill right after I finished eating, so I couldnt relax. French toast was delicious! Also, the restroom is unique, so please take a look. Its in the basement.

Very good meal in a very warm atmosphere (although a little noisy). The servers are great and the food is very good!

Good restaurant, but double billing: my credit card was swiped twice, under the pretext of a malfunction!

We went to the restaurant last night and had a great time! The dishes were delicious, the atmosphere was perfect and the service attentive. The only downside was that we were a bit rushed to finish our plates to free the table for other customers.

Fun little pub with many traditional food favourites, local beers on tap.

There are better in the city, don t waste your time. I had a reservation at 8:30, was left standing there for 15 minutes with no greeting or someone saying give us a moment. Sat at a table , took my order, cheese plate and Shepherd s pie. Got the cheese plate and then sat for over an hour and never got my shepherds pie. The waitress asked me as they were closing if I still wanted to pie and I said no and she made a face and said they already made it. So I had them pack it up. Was charged full amount for everything, no offer to compensate . Got back to my hotel to see that it was just a plate of sludge they had thrown together and looks so unappetizing I threw it out. So attempt at presentation. For a restaurant with such a good reputation and highly recommended, that was the worst service I ever had. Do not recommend, especially as a solo traveler. The cheese plate wash good and the waitress was friendly enough so I did tip her.

Frozen food reheated. Midday meal of Chicken and waffle and pie and free tea with meal. Not fresh, Quality of food is ok. Maple syrup too sweet. It s for tourists. Service was good and atmosphere was excellent. But I would go for food if someone tried something particular and recommended it.

A little disappointed with our experience this morning for brunch. We had reserved it several months ago and the service was prompt, although there were no people there, to the dismay of the waitress. The childrens brunch menu is overpriced: $10 per child for a simple waffle without a drink included. The overall bill is spicy... Its a shame it doesnt make you want to come back.

Great food .! Great service .! Great prices .!

The food was excellent, unfortunately the service left a lot to be desired. Although we were greeted by our waiter promptly upon arrival, throughout the rest of our meal we felt like we had been forgotten about, almost to the point of feeling ignored. It is too bad that what could have been a wonderful dining experience was tainted due to poor service.

Every weekend in Quebec must be ended with lunch at this place before leaving. A warm atmosphere, the service always impeccable with a good waiter/waitress and the meals hoooo lala an explosion of flavors. I really recommend La Bûche

A benchmark Quebec restaurant, a warm atmosphere, super nice decor and really hearty and good dishes!

Very good experience at La Bûche this evening! Certainly the restaurant is touristy, but thats the case with many places in Quebec so it makes sense. Despite a crowded room, we didnt wait long before being seated at the table. The atmosphere was very nice, in the heart of the action because it was close to the kitchens and the staff were very friendly and pleasant with us. We observed a very efficient and organized team, and despite a huge reservation of 75 people that evening, we were served very quickly! As for the food, the shepherds pie was very good, and above all very generous! The mash was very good, with the corn and the meat it all went very well together! The pea soup as a starter was a good appetizer, simple but effective. Finally, the pudding chômeur for dessert was also very generous and delicious, plan to be hungry! We took extra ice cream and coulis, it costs a bit in the end but it was very good!

Great location. Great atmosphere. Great staff. Tasty meal! Great day in Québec City!

Servant was rude and even though we had reservation we waited 20mins to sit because there s literally no one at the counter!!! Waited another 20 mins to take our order because servants ignored us

Decor that does not leave us indifferent. Homemade bacon to try. The only problem is that there are around ten groups at the same service time, which creates some frustration outside when it is cold.

Great place and amazing service from Diego ! Would definitely come again !

There s always a queue no matter what time. Love the ambiance but not the food. It was soso

Good food, old cabin vibe, ear-splitting Celine Deon Brunch was good but we had a hard time hearing each other. The music was so loud I couldn t think. Very strange and off putting. Food

I had such a wonderful breakfast at La Buche. Great vegetarian options. The music and decor felt very Quebecois, which I loved. I very much enjoyed their chocolate crepe and their house hot sauce on my potatoes. Vegetarian options: Mushroom omelette, crepes Kid-friendliness: Games in the menus for kids to do. Fun atmosphere

Came here with a friend, STARVING ! Meals were amazing, the space is cool asffff, atmosphere is extra cool, portions are BIG and the bathroom is ICONIC

Its better to make a reservation. A very nice place with a nice atmosphere and good food.

The food was spectacular. We loved the shepherds pie, French Onion soup and the bison.

Delicious food, had the salmon tartar, great drinks and service!! I ll be back

Excellent ! I recommend !

Amazing service and delicious food! Got the Foie Gras with poor mans pudding, deer tartare, and maple pie. Best meal Ive ever had, already planning my next trip to Quebec just for this.

Very good it was really great!!! And delicious thank you!!

Came here on a Tuesday morning, and we were the third customer having breakfast. More customers started pouring in around 9:30am. Very family friendly atmosphere, and the owner came by several times to make sure eveything was good. If you open the storage room while looking for the toilets then you got the La Buche experience. You will know.

Pleasant atmosphere and perfect service. Unfortunately the kitchen does not live up to the bill. Cold poutine and fries soaking in a kind of warm broth. We ate tastier ones. Damage.

Great place, typical Quebecois meal with incredible flavors, without forgetting perfect service, where smiles and sympathy are required . To do and to redo

Quebec restaurant Incredible! Impeccable service and interior decoration with original cuisine to absolutely taste. I highly recommend this restaurant as a French tourist!

Ok where to begin ! If you want a true Quebec experience, you need to come here ! On our most recent visit to Quebec City we came here three times: once for dinner, the next morning for breakfast and the day after for a late drink and cheeseboard. Dinner- we had the croquettes de tourtiere (ie. meat pie nuggets) which were absolutely delicious! Also les ailes de Cochon (ie pig wings/ribs). I should note that all tables get the starter of Les oreilles de crisse- crispy fried goodness with some maple syrup drizzled on it. Breakfast - I had the grandpa s oatmeal which was fantastic - just the right amount of maple syrup. Nice touch that it was served in a pot ! My husband had the cabane a sucre breakfast which was massive - a little bit of everything which you can see in the photo. Lastly on day three we came for the Quebec cheese plate which was beautifully presented and very good. Side note - go downstairs and check out the washrooms. The sink is a communal bathtub sink. Very cool!

Many thanks to Mimi and Olivia for their excellent service to our group of seven this morning for breakfast . Sated with good food and good conversation! See you again very soon!

TOURIST TRAAAAAAP. Vibes are alright, but the food is very, very, very average and overpriced. Not a serious establishment, far better options nearby.

Recommended for breakfast!! The employees were friendly, the maple French toast was delicious, and the omelet was delicious!! Above all.. If you like baked beans and salty ones, be sure to add baked beans!!! Life is baked beans... Because of the baked beans, I ate breakfast here the entire time I was in Quebec..! However, it is a bit salty, so if you dont like salty food, eat it with bread or order it from another menu!!

Great place. Really cute things inside. We loved the food. We came for brunch and the omelette, their homemade hot sauce and BLT are excellent.

Dinner was amazing. The maple pork loin is very good.

Incredible, to do!

From the second we walked in the door, the service was incredible. Food was out of this world, drinks were delightful . You ve got to try the Quebec old fashioned,it is Devine.

Delicious authentic quebec cuisine!

Very nice. I recommend taking a look.

Exceptional meal, exceptional service and just the right decor

Superb restaurant! To discover and share with friends! Excellent value for money!! Thunderous atmosphere!!

Good experience in a warm and friendly setting!

Excellent food and service. They are very friendly. Especially Juan Sebastian. Only because of their attention we returned two days later for dinner. And we will return next year.

The restaurant is magnificent and warm, the menu is varied and stands out for its traditional Quebecois dishes. I love Quebec and I feel at home. WE WANT A COUNTRY

I loved it: I highly recommend the shepherds pie! You feel like youre in a sugar shack with good Quebec music.

Either too sweet or too salty, Chinese people should never trust local taste. The meat pie I ordered was so salty that it was bitter and the meat was terrible. I told the waiter that it was too salty, but he said, Oh, we will talk to the chef. This also requires a 15% tip. Spend money to find fault

Rabbit Wings and Buffalo Flank Steak. One of the better meals I have ever had. Food

Warm service and good food, one of the best places I have visited in Quebec!

Its a fun place to dined. I loved the breakfast -- perhaps the best Ive ever had. The thick-cut, maple cured bacon is to die for!

Very nice place. Warm and welcoming Good atmosphere The dishes are delicious

Very warm and festive atmosphere! Particularly thanks to the waiters with their spontaneity and their communicative good humor. The decoration is original and very local! The dishes were delicious, very good local Quebec cuisine. We had a wonderful evening in this restaurant. I highly recommend!

This restaurant was recommended by our friends and it was the perfect spot to take a break during our road trip across the Eastern Coast of Canada on our honeymoon. I am originally Canadian, and I wanted to try the breakfast poutine, however I must admit, it was pretty dry and not up to par with the original poutine recipe from Smokes that I have continued to love for decades. I was very impressed with the atmosphere of the outdoor patio in the back with the vibrant red color of the table linens and the environment was very comfortable. We were immediately greeted as we walked in and were sat comfortably! The service was a bit slow, as it was very crowded. The bathroom design was very unique (see photos). I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who is looking for a cozy atmosphere to dine in while touring Quebec City.

Delicious food, nice sized portions and great service. Online said no availability, but they sat us right away.

Really don t understand the hype about this place. The service was terrible and racist. The food was inedibly sweet and heavy. Wouldn t recommend anyone to dine in this place

A place that I recommend. With pleasure to come back. The table we had was perfect!

Very good and good atmosphere.

Delicious food. Original ambience.

So amazing personal, which work at this place, especially girls

The food here is really good. The chicken and waffle is a must-try.

I went there several times, for brunch and also in the evening. The dishes are excellent, warm atmosphere. The servers are very nice and happy to advise. Special mention for the savory crepe at brunch

Simply excellent! Adorable service, top-notch poutine and beer, divine pancakes! Dont be afraid of the 10 people waiting in front, it goes quickly.

Great food with generous servings! Highly recommended. Their pulled pork and candied bacon (i assumed with maple syrup) that was part of the all-in breakfast platter was amazing! Food : 5/5

Excellent atmosphere and delicious meals. Be careful a little noisy, choose a meal in the second part of the evening for more calm!

Fun place with great service and delicious Quebec cuisine.

An old popular restaurant with a lot of customers entering continuously.

Enjoyed our breakfast here last week. Really enjoyed the inside of the restaurant and thought it was very quaint / lodge-like. It was very homey. For food - we got the Fat Guys Omelette - a meat lovers dream for my husband. Also came with potatoes and bread - very large meal. I had the Quebec Crepes with fruit / maple syrup. I thoroughly enjoyed it - although I would get the syrup on the side next time as some of the bites had too much. I would recommend the restaurant if youre in QC.

Very good place, we went there several times, brunch, evening meal....in short! Great food and super nice staff! September 2024

Good food! But nightclub volume, I couldnt even hear my partner! And the waitress strictly refused to reduce the volume even though she herself had difficulty hearing us

I love this place. The meals are excellent. The quantities are excellent and the pudding chômeur is completely sick! I recommend.

Be careful to be prepared to wait a short hour outside before returning because yes, its worth it. Great atmosphere, the food is truly impeccable and the servers are extremely friendly. We will come back

The food and service are very good, the sound environment was very loud. I recommend booking in advance to avoid waiting on site.

It was the worst dining experience in my diner, life, Starter came at the same time as the main course after 5 minutes of horror The venison tartare was very roughly cut and tasteless The sea bream was in an inedible sauce . Paid after 35 minutes and took the rest of the bottle of wine with us A bad experience for 130.00 euros Sorry this isnt Quebec is it????

Really nice place overall. The food was good but not what I expected. There is a looot of sweet as the main ingredient (maple). Service was FAST, and our waiter was awesome. The pie is different, no crust and sweet. Poutine is good (but sweet) Deer tartare was good Pig Wings (well bbq sweet) Soup was good, salty! Kid-friendliness: Ok for kids

Yoan s service was outstanding! Not only did he check in to ensure everything was going well, but he also made sure our water was always topped up without needing to ask. The restaurant is truly fortunate to have such a dedicated staff member. I ll definitely recommend this place to all my friends and family when they visit Old Quebec City this restaurant is a must-visit!

Disappointed with the experience at La Bûche. We were excited to try the food, as we had heard great things about both the cuisine and the service. Unfortunately, we ended up waiting for over an hour without any notice of how long it would take to get a table. The staff didn t provide updates or communicate the wait time, which was frustrating. It felt like the management was poorly organized. I hope they can improve their process because the food might be good, but the lack of communication and inefficient handling of customers left us with a negative impression.

Onion soup is far the best we tried in the city. Rest of the dishes we tried werent as good: cooked and salty. Its a crowded place in the city center with unique design. Reservation is needed. If you dont like your food -its only your problem ;)

While visiting Quebec City in October 2024, a group of friends and I noticed a long line outside La Buche in Old Quebec City. Assuming it must be a popular spot, we joined the line. After an hour, we noticed people coming and going, but our line did not move at all. Despite only four groups being ahead of us, the line continued to grow. When I inquired about the wait time, the doorman would not provide an estimate and mentioned that those entering had reservations. Curious about the system, I asked if there were tables reserved for walk-ins. He said he could not provide any information. I then asked if we were waiting for no-shows or last-minute cancellations, again, he would not answer. He simply stated that we had agreed to wait when we joined the line. I found this practice highly questionable. If the system were fair and transparent, why would the restaurant keep it a secret? It felt like we were being lured in by the illusion of a popular spot, only to be treated as a backup option without any clear information. Disappointed by this experience, I decided not to return to La Buche or attempt to make a reservation in the future. Shady business practices should not be tolerated, regardless of the quality of food. Instead, we crossed the street and visited several other restaurants. The first two informed us that they were fully booked and would not be able to seat us without reservations. This is expected from reputable establishments. The third attempt with Conti, we were offered seats at the bar. The food was fantastic, the prices were reasonable, and the service was exceptional. I highly recommend Conti for a great dining experience.

Thanks to Sabrina for her welcome and the impromptu visit to the place. Unforgettable evening. Lydia (Switzerland)

We were lucky to snag a table without a reservation - but we were a little early on a Tuesday I suggest making a reservation so you don t miss this gem! We loved every sip and every bite, from the pork rind/pickle starter, to the Kariboo (gluhwein/mulled wine) to the last bite of our entrees. We had the Bison sandwich, the Bison Flank Steak, the Pork Loin, and the Walleye - we nearly licked our plates clean, every bit was amazing and delicious - kudos to the kitchen! Our server was also delightful and attentive.

The food is very good. Very clean restaurant. Server just as kind, polite and smiling!!! Well done! A big downside to the host of October 15, a smile would have been appreciated. Really ordinary!

Always love going there. From French Quebecois music and maple indulged dishes, you are in for a Quebecois treat. The food is good, the portions are big and the staff is very friendly.

Great local style atmosphere. Love the pork wings. Chicken waffles were too sweet for me

Love the ambience! Staffs are really nice

Great service and food, best service in Quebec City so far! We tried the savory, trout crepes and love it! The portions is huge! Food : 5/5

Excellent place to eat typical Quebec foods!

Not at all commercial, Customer service to be reviewed!

A place to visit during your visit to Quebec, remember to book!

We booked 48 hours before and were not disappointed, very good meal, BUT, horribly loud music in the 3rd room. Too bad, it spoils the fun.

a fun atmosphere! definitely make a reservation- we waited for quite a while to get a table but the doorman was lovely to chat with. the staff is very kind and the food was delicious, especially the appetizers!

Very good restaurant! Lots of people, reservations are necessary!

Service was excellent, food delicious and the ambience, lovely Vegetarian options: The grandma mushroom omelette doesnt have any meat. Food : 5/5 |

A must see and try restaurant. Great food and Friendly staff. Clean facilities. Especially appreciate the washrooms cleanliness.

The food tastes good, the poutine s meat sauce is super delicious Unfortunately, the store clerk helped us move to the aisle, but we kept getting bumped into

It was ok. Nothing special. A bit cramped. The bathrooms were cool. The food was alright. The service was alright. Kind of leans into the worst aspects of the Vieux Quebec tourist trap scene. Doesnt feel authentic. I likely wont return, but I appreciate the dinner.

Food is great! A must visit in Quebec city!

This place was packed and for good reason! The guys were very friendly and the food was exceptional. Portion size was plentiful. Love the atmosphere! Well definitely visit again on our next visit to Quebec city

Pour ma première visite dans ce restaurant ( je vous suggère faire une réservation ) ! Un gros Wow... Premier contact c est le décor , ensuite le personnels souriants et très gentils. Et pour finir la nourriture, nous avons pris le forfait pour 4 ! Une expérience que je recommande pour tous... P-S ça comble les appétits les plus voraces....

A little noisy for my taste

Authentic place, great food, a typical place and top staff

Very nice decor and nice toilets . Otherwise the food is good. The music played there is on point (first time Ive heard the big Qc Redneck), big props!

not bad at all for a restaurant at a touristy spot

Had the apple french toasts which was amazing. Would go back if I ever visit Quebec City again.

The food was too delicious to wait for taking a picture so here is the brunch menu The potatoes are masterpiece I am very happy I discovered this place The staff is great and adorable

Very good experience, a pleasant and friendly setting. Tasty dishes and flavors. Welcoming staff. I recommend it for those who want to discover dishes from Quebec/Canada.

We went for brunch and had the fat man omelette they are amazing.

Dont believe that the fried chicken waffles and bacon are must-orders. The clerk highly recommended them, but they are just average. If you say they are delicious, you must have never tasted fried chicken from any alley in Taiwan. The chicken here is super hot and the bacon is super hard. A dish like this costs 28 plus tax + 15% service charge, which adds up to a total of 45 Canadian dollars (not worth it at all). It might be better to order other French toast or omelette eggs. But considering the price and food, I personally think this restaurant is overrated. In addition, I walked in without a reservation at noon on a weekday. There was a queue at first, but I was able to be seated soon. But there is absolutely no way I would queue for more than half an hour for this restaurant. If I have such free time, I might as well go back to Taiwan and go to Pai Xiangkou. Yiye Soy Milk Chicken
