Le Delice Du Roy - Québec

This is the best breakfast we have had in Quebec City, and possibly in all of Canada! The homemade hollandaise sauce was delectable drizzled over poached eggs. read more This is the best breakfast we have had in Quebec City, and possibly in all of Canada!

Quebecois food through and through, but that's why you travel - to taste the local food rather than another ceasar salad. The staff is truly genuine, and very accommodating of my limited French language skills. We had pea soup, followed by duck tortetiere - perfect melt in your mouth pastry - and finishing with house made chocoloate fondant cake (like a lava cake). Very well priced for the food quality. Good selection of beer and cider on tap. By far our best meal of our stay in Quebec city!

It is quiet and intimate and you can sit by the fireplace on a chilly evening or outside in the sunshine for lunches in the afternoon. The food is simple but excellent and very quebecois. The service is wonderful and friendly. It was our favourite meal of our trip.

The restaurant is a simple bistro in a 1682 house in the Vieux Port neighbornood. Karin, our server, gave them good recommendations and a great time. We had the yellow pea soup, a Quebecois staple, the halibut, a pasta dish, and a very good boar/bison meatloaf thingie. It was all delicious. We finished with three shared desserts, which the boys loved. They insisted several days later that I make them creme brulee at home--usually a success, but mine was not nearly as good as Delice du Roy's.I am sorry about history_professor's bad experience, but I am sure that it is not the norm at this lovely old house.
