A very delicious and affordable cafe in town with excellent French onion soup and sandwiches. I was delighted to come visit this place while staying in the city and man it was great. The food selection is classic diner and cafe and the service was very excellent. The food is fresh. Tastes great and is made with care. Will come back again.
Fantastic breakfast with great, friendly service! Yes you will probably have to wait in a short line but it will be worth it! I had the delicious Smoked Meat Benediction (Eggs Benedict), toast and homemade strawberry jam. Very, very good!
We had dinner here last night. It was perfect, exactly the diner food we wanted. The burger was fantastic and the poutine italienne.. To die for 😍😍. Service was super friendly and very prompt. Thank you for such a lovely memory of Quebec-City
Busy Old Quebec breakfast spot There’s almost always a line outside, which shows how popular this place is. We came for breakfast — portions were hearty, and the food was comforting in a traditional Quebecois style. Drinks were limited (mainly coffee and juice). Staff was courteous but clearly very busy, so there wasn’t much time for small talk or personal touches. The floor was greasy and slippery, so be careful on rainy days. It’s a good stop if you’re nearby, but honestly not worth waiting more than 10 minutes in line. Try coming early in the morning before the rush for a smoother experience.
We walked by this restaurant just a few steps from our hotel and saw a huge line. At first we went walking to try and find something else but returned and got in line and it moved quite fast! The coffee was included with our meal and the dishes we ordered were fantastic. The breakfast poutine was so tasty and the crepes hit the spot. You must order the caramel and strawberry jam! Oh and when we saw one of the servers showing off the strawberry shortcake we had to order it….. Definitely recommend and don’t let the line deter you, it’s worth the wait!
