Dessert was easy... the banana with chocolate ganauche,... More

This is a really nice, understated local neighborhood bistro in the up-and-coming Saint Roch neighborhood. What is really nice about it is the local vibe. It is not touristy like the restaurants in the old city. The food was great: The housemade fresh cheese was very refreshing and nice. The salmon tartare, the signature dish for Quebec City, was very... More

Great restaurant in a vibrant new neighborhood. The salmon tartare was one of the best I have ever had and the veggies accompanying were local and fresh. My friend had skate and scallops cooked perfectly. Good wine selection by the glass completed a truly delicious meal in a warm and lively atmosphere.

Food was quite good but service was very poor. Had a reservation for 8pm, and was sat within 5 minutes of arrival. Ordered appetizer and main course plus wine. Waiter served wine and we never saw him again except after food was delivered by someone else, came back to ask if all is fine. Never made an effort to pour... More

We had brunch here today and it was fabulous. The restaurant seems to be located in an old bank, with the washrooms in the former vault. The whole place is bright and sunny and inviting. The building had a really great vibe, and we thought the food was outstanding. We made reservations online and that went without a hitch. The... More

My wife and I had different types of salmon with vegetables and salad and both were delicious. We split the dishes and we loved them equally. It is a busy restaurant for lunch and we sat at the counter and it took 40 minutes but it was worth it. All very great wine.

We were there for lunch. Each of us 4 had different dishes and we all enjoyed our meal. Service was very good and courteous. This restaurant is installed in an old bank and kept some of its features. Nice experience.

Restaurant has a terrific feel to it. Greeting at the front door was warm and immediate, service at the bar/counter for brunch one recent Sunday was friendly, with a caveat beleo. My only disappointment was my meal. The brunch menu starts with an 'amuse' of yogurt parfait, with orange coulis, a 5 spice gelee at the bottom, topped with granola.... More

Service spectacular, food wonderful! The salmon tartar was light, creamy and fabulous! I could have eaten it as my entree. The veal tataki was ok not great. The veal was tough, the sauces were not flavorful but the dish was beautiful.. I do not recommend. We shared the 'duck confit cassoulet' it was wonderful! I think I could eat this... More

The food was delicious and artfully presented. Our server had no problem accommodating my vegetarian needs and there were two great veggie options on the menu. We dined on a nice summer evening and the open windows offered a nice breeze that made the whole experience seem very European. If you are staying in the Old Town it is well... More
