Description

A historic restaurant in Quebec City served disappointing food with slow service, including frozen soup and incorrect orders. Rude hostess, subpar vegetarian options, and inconsistent service also tarnished the experience for some diners. However, others praised the extensive menu, great service, and delicious options like Arrabiata and poutine. Friendly staff, tasty food including the French Toast, and attentive service left a positive impression on some customers. Overall, mixed reviews suggest inconsistent quality and service at this restaurant, with a range of experiences impacting diners’ visits.

It is just as good as it was 60 years ago when I worked there as cashier. The service was fast and the food was excellent. A great place to eat in Old Quebec

First visit with my two daughters... excellent vegetarian menus! We will definitely return on our next visit to Quebec City. Worth coming from Sherbrooke to check it out and take a stroll in Old Quebec afterwards.

The restaurant is very clean with wonderful service. The waitress was very kind, and the owner was really nice. I loved my pouding chômeur.
