Really fun and energetic staff. I particularly liked the lunch servers. I don't know how they kept up the energy and humor. I stopped by for lunch and had a beer and the crab cakes, which were really good. Then I realized they have hard liquor too, so I stopped back for a whiskey and a smoked meat sandwich- also a good choice. I actually wanted to order the French onion soup on my second visit because I had heard theirs was good, but they were sold out. And because I'm not a quitter, I tried once more to get the soup the next day, but they were out of the cheese. I ended up going elsewhere that 3rd time and my server was so apologetic, I wanted to give him a tip anyway. He seemed genuinely disappointed that he couldn't get me what I wanted even though I never even sat down at a table that last time. I sat outside both times since the weather was so perfect. Just as well, since the inside was overly hot. Probably really cozy in the cold months!

This is not a full extensive review, but this pub boasted the best french onion soup in Quebec City. I only had the one, but it is by far my favourite french onion soup I have had. I don't have this dish often, but in Toronto, they don't do this dish justice. The soup is hot, fresh from the pot, cheese is crispy and gooey, but the baguette or bread they use wasn't fully maintained. Maybe just me though. When you eat the soup, it is an actual onion like broth, there is a clean finish to every bite, and the cheese is tasty. I wish I spent more time eating this Canadian dish. The pub itself seems like a historic building, almost a dungeon, but not dingy. The seating in the side room looks a little cramped but we got to sit close to the bar. Staff were friendly, despite our lack of French. It seems like a solid spot for drinks, but maybe not for everyone. If you look dark historic building vibes, it should fit your fancy.

This place will be hard to top! I had looked it up ahead time and we were so excited to go. The atmosphere was unreal! The coolest historic building I've ever been to. Was so cool to be in a cellar from the 1600's! It's a small place, smaller than the photos make it look, but the bartenders were amazing, so friendly and welcoming! They loved feeding us the maple whisky shots with every beer that was ordered, for only $3, and the long island iced tea was delicious! We had the French onion soup and it was delicious! That's all we are there. I think if you're looking for food specifically, maybe this isn't the place as the menu is limited, but if you're looking for a fun atmosphere, cozy with a fire, friendly people, this is the place! We went back both nights we were there and the bartender remembered us. No bar topped this for the rest of the time we were there!

Stumbled upon this gem of a pub accidentally it was a snowy night and I was out looking for souvenirs. When I needed to use the washroom, I decided to go in for a drink and use the washroom. That's exactly what I did. I ordered a drink and I used the washroom but instead of going further with my quest to find a souvenir shop, I stayed for a couple of hours. It was such a great place to hang out old and rustic with a wooden fireplace. The bartender greeted me and was super friendly. It was definitely a great environment. Great place to drink and chat and enjoy yourself. When I come back to Quebec city I will definitely be coming back to this pub. Thank you to the bartender that served me on a snowy end of February evening.

We had a bit of trouble finding the place but it was worth it. We were walking and Google maps made us zigzag on different streets it was confusing, also end of November so pretty cold for someone who lives in the South West. The drinks were good and the onion soup is delicious. When we left we followed the server's directions and voila they were easier and shorter, to the point we couldn't figure out why maps would make it so complicated.

French Onion Soup

Go back in time! After a long COLD walk through lower city. We entered the pub for some hot soup and a little pick-me-up. A blazing fire was burning in the hearth right as we entered, and the smell of burning wood and onion soup filled the air. The onion soup was amazing! The sign did say best in the city, and they were not lying. There is a maple whiskey that was recommended, best I've had. Unfortunately I cannot remember the name of it. Definitely a worthwhile stop to enjoy some old Quebec charm in a cozy atmosphere.

We couldn’t eat the food fast enough, it was so delicious. The two of us split the melted Brie as a perfect appetizer, and then finished off with French onion soup and a smoked meat sandwich. Le Trappeur coffee was delicious as well. Such a fun environment with great service. Would recommend it to anyone and definitely come here again.

Highly recommend coming here even for the history. It's a 400 year old pub and apparently one of the oldest in North America. The service was great, and accommodating to our English. The cider and the beer in the picture were good, and the food was excellent. I suggest getting the housemade french onion soup. When we walked in, I noticed almost every table had the soup. Very yummy! Zero complaints about my experience.

The place has a super nice atmosphere. The walls are beautiful and nicely decorated. The food is good and the drinks are great. So many options for drinks, ranging from regular stuff to local gems and in-house mixed drinks. The mulled wine is excellent. The french onion soup is one of the best I've had.

French Onion Soup

A very cool hole in the wall style pub. We went here for a few drinks, and they had some absolutely wicked specials. I’m talking four shots for $20 kind of thing. If you were in the area, or doing a bar crawl definitely add this place to your list. It’s worth it for the aesthetic alone. My fiancée and I had a blast at the staff, but didn’t stay too long as we had to head to dinner

Gave me everything I needed from a cosy bar in a historic snd beautiful building. Music wasn’t too loud. The host was very pleasant. Food was quite good. I enjoyed the hot dog and melted brie. Beer variety was limited but covered a reasonable range.

Cosy pub with a fireplace, which was great as it was very cold outside. We had a late lunch of french onion soup and a smoked meat sandwich, which were quite nice. The person who served us was friendly and helped with menu choices.

French Onion Soup, Smoked Meat

Close to the main attractions in old Quebec city but in a narrow street a few blocks away from the busy centre so a perfect compromise. Owner/ barman was extremely helpful and gave some good suggestions for the rest of our visit in quebec city. Would recommend, and I'll certainly go back there!

Love this place. We have to stop in for a pint and some onion soup every time we're in Quebec. This time, I had a shot of some kind of maple liquor. It was great. Our awesome waiter recommended I just pop it in my beer. So I did and loved it.

French Onion Soup

Great atmosphere and the service was incredible. We loved the food and beers!! This is the perfect spot to relax with friends. The ambiance it’s superb. The smell of an open fire just added to the experience. We went on weekday and the place had some locals and regulars having a great time. It’s a must place to visit when in Old Quebec.

Service was a bit slow, but the staff seemed overwhelmed/in a disagreement with other. My food was delicious and the atmosphere was very cool. Chatted with some other tourists and we all had a grand time.

I mean what can I say about this place. It's just the coolest little gem I have stumbled across in my travels. So old and rustic. The staff probably the nicest people so outgoing, willing to converse with all patrons. The beer was fantastic, the drinks awesome. Love this place can't wait to bring more people.

Quiet and cozy. Had mulled wine and crab cakes. Both were delicious. Wanted French Onion soup, but it was not available. Wish I had more time in Quebec City; I would visit the pub again.

A lovely warm fire greeted us after a cold walk in the slushy snow, then delicious French onion soup to warm up. A wonderful experience. Great advice on the IPA beer.

This restaurant gives you all the good vibes of sitting and boozing at a cave bar we see on movies or web series like Hobbit/Lord of the rings/GOT etc. We ordered Crab Cakes and Hot chocolates. Both had an amazing taste. More than the food, one should go there for experience.

This is a cozy, hidden gem. We were there for hours enjoying story time with friends in front of the fire on a snowy day. When you step into this establishment you will feel like you've gone back in time....in a good way. Staff was attentive ...drinks and food were good.

Phil and Sam are by far the best employees at this restaurant. They served my friends and I and were so welcoming. Heaving them being bilingual made it so easy to understand each other. We had such a great time, we would highly recommend coming to visit! More

Great atmosphere even though it's a small place it was a fantastic find! You can find Sortilège here which is like some kind of maple whiskey. They offer it in shot form or as part of other drinks. They had a wide variety of drinks on their menu.

Good for drinks as they have a wide variety and the setting is nice. Service and food were both terrible as they forgot items from our order twice, food was served cold and the waiter was more entertained doing shots at another table... More

This was a very cool bar! Defiantly had a different vide due to the way the building is, but it feels like you went back in time to an old tavern. The place was hearted by a wood fore place and was perfect in the winter when we were here.

This a very cozy Pub located in old Québec city in the neighbourhood of the Royal Square (Place royale). This pub offers the best French Onion soup and perfect nachos and other delicious pub foods. The atmosphere is perfect in this old

In Dec every place is warm while it's like a freezer outside.it does affect your rating. I'm trying not to let that affect my review. Its a nice little bar where the kitchen is behind the bar. They have no official kitchen space. So

We had an amazing meal here. Incredible atmosphere - could imagine the fur traders sitting around drinking in this place. Make sure you get the maple whiskey shot with your pint.

Absolutely amazing. Stopped here on our visit to Quebec City. Staff were professional and personable. Prices were very good. We had brie and a salad and smoked meat sandwich with a baguette. Wine to drink as well.

This place is cool. The building is amazing. The staff were friendly. Couldn’t get any French onion soup, but the maple whisky is awesome. More like a smooth/sweet schnapps than a whisky. We t was very nice.

We popped in for a drink and snack last night. I give 5 stars for atmosphere, as the pub was quite busy and lively. The pub was in some old cellars by the looks of it and had a wood fire roaring away, which

Great little pub in lower Old Quebec. The french onion soup was the best we had during our trip, and they recommended a maple whisky shot which was fantastic. Atmosphere was excellent, staff were great.

The best homemade french onion soup I’ve ever had! We ordered the brie salad and wine as well. Loved the atmosphere and their services. Everything was perfect for our first-year wedding anniversary.

Amazing sandwiches and soup, good beer, great prices, very friendly and easily accommodate English speakers. We had a great experience and would highly recommend, the food was incredible! More

If the Beatles would have started a set in the corner, it would not have been surprising. Like a trip to the past, we enjoyed some cocktails in a merry ambiance with friendly staff.
