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!

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 tried this place on Civic Day, and as you probably know, Quebec doesn’t observe Civic Day like other provinces, so it becomes a popular spot for people to visit when everything else is closed. That’s probably why there was a long lineup of about 25 people in front of us. Even though they had some free tables outside, they didn’t have enough servers to cover them. But there was a really nice guy managing the line, talking to everyone and explaining the wait, which made the experience way better. Once we got seated, we were given a menu with lots of options, and what I really liked was that they had a little icon next to the dishes that were made with local Quebec ingredients. That made it easier to try the more authentic items. The prices were reasonable, and the portions were huge. Most meals came with fries and a lot of sides. You could also upgrade to include a soup and drink, and for just $1.55 more, you could add a dessert too. We ordered a pitcher of IPA for $23, and the regular pitchers were $20, which felt pretty fair. The only small issue was that they forgot our hot drink and dessert at first, even though we had upgraded for them. But they eventually brought them, and honestly, they were super busy, so it was understandable. The mushroom soup was tasty, even though the portion was small. The food overall was really delicious, the service was super friendly, and for what you pay, the whole experience was totally worth it.
