Great little place tucked away on a back street. One might almost think he/she has stumbled upon a secret, but with good food, service, and atmosphere others are sure to come.
We had breakfast here and the prices were relatively reasonable. The food is, like much of Quebec's, savory and top notch. -

It's a hit and miss kind of place. And the hits are decent as opposed to ver7y good and above. I ordered two scrambled soft with black forest ham, a croissant and a cafe au lait. The eggs were a tad tight and semi-bland while the ham was probably in the Hansel N' Gretel category, being rubbery and salty. While the croissant had a subtle earthy taste and had a moist inside and a crispy, flaky outside, I was disappointment by the Sealtest butter and Kraft jellies and honey as accompaniments. The cafe au lait was the highlight. A semi strong coffee liquid topped with an almost buttery steamed milk. Delicious. My waitress was friendly and certainly accommodating.

A low profile superb diner. I arrived Quebec City late at night, it was like a life-saving moment when I found this place. I never tried Québécois food before was curious about the food they serve there.
Me and my buddy saw the table next to us was having some sort of grill thingy and realized it was raclette grill - a swiss french style grill where you mix veggies, sausage, and chicken with grilled raclettte cheese.
We ordered all you can eat style and it was a fun dining experience. The atmosphere was great, the food was awesome. Great.
P.S. I miss raclette grill so much that I purchased one on Amazon after I got home. -

I ate here for lunch with my wife and two young children. We all ate frommthe table d'hôte menu. I ordered the croque monsieur (very good), my wife ordered the quiche (she enjoyed it a lot), my 6 year old ordered the smoke salmon with bagel (delicious) and my 9 year old ordered the pizza (terrible).
The restaurant has a great old world decor to it and during the lunch time service we were at, the owner was the waiter, cook, busboy and cashier (all done well).
Overall I enjoyed the restaurant but think ordering a la carte might be a better vale since you can skip the soup/salad and get your coffee elsewhere (all in the name of visiting as many establishments as possible). -

Le Petit Coin Latin was a recommendation from our travel book and it's a real gem! I'm serious! The restaurant is cozy, inviting and prices are reasonable. They have a great selection of sandwiches, salads and entrees. We ordered the Croque Monsieur and the bagel with cream cheese and lox. Both were toasted goodness and came with a fresh side salad. What added to the fantastic meal was their selection of Unibroue beers. Love it!
The restaurant is tucked away on a quiet street (nearby a hostel) and has outdoor seating as well. If in Quebec, I highly suggest you grab your next cup of coffee or meal at this place. -

This place is not bad, but I was expecting it to be better after reading the other yelp reviews. I went for dinner mid-week and found the place nearly abandoned of staff and customers. There was a pile of magazines on the window sill, which had fallen on the floor and made a clutter. I ended up paying $30 for the wapiti tourtiere and a glass of below-average house wine. The meal came with a plain salad and plain mashed potatoes. The tourtiere itself was savory, but not very memorable and actually pretty plain as well. After finishing the meal, I waited for the check, and was eventually told to pay at the register. When I paid in cash, they didn't have $5 in change, and I was thinking this might be a strange way to extract a tip. Other restaurants in Quebec offered a better value for the money.

This restaurant has gone through many owners over the years. I used to go there for their vegetarian tourtiere back when I worked for the Quebec government in 1990.
Today, it is a beautiful little place with marvelous staff and an extremely warm and inviting atmosphere. It's worth a snack or a quick lunch if you are on Rue St-Jean and need a little pick-me-up.
The place is definitely not fancy, but definitely an original. Maybe I'm biased because the place carries so much nostalgia for me. However, if you were to eat there just once, you would have your own nostalgia for this beautiful little gem. -

This place is unassuming, and tucked away in a corner of Old Québec. It's a place where you won't find many tourists, and the food is no-frills.
I and my travel companions each had the multi-course meal, mine consisting of a salad, parmesan fondue, caribou pie, and sugar pie for dessert. All for $23, a pretty good deal.
Each separate dish was not earth-shattering, but just consistent and good. The caribou dish especially was a nice surprise. It was sort of a pot pie (as you'd find in the US) and the meat inside was a little sweet, tender, and plentiful. I went with the sugar pie recommended by the waitress for dessert and was not disappointed, although I was about to burst by then from all I had eaten to that point.
Not flashy, not touristy, but REAL. Worth a stop when you want a sure thing instead of risking it on a place more in the touristy areas of Québec. -

Great local place that is within the walled city (there aren't many of these). The food was classic french/quebec food and is great for breakfast and lunch... I'm not sure about dinner. I had the "cheese sandwich" which was excellent. Toasted french bread with white wine sautéed mushrooms and garlic... a great late breakfast (or lunch) choice!

Well I just HAD to write this one.
I had breakfast there alone today after reading other reviews that sounded reasonable. I was extremely disappointed.
I ordered crepes with fresh fruit and blueberries. The crepes had clearly been made at least 24 hours ago, if not more, and re-heated in the microwave. In fact the waiter (who had no-one else to serve but me!) admitted as such. When I complained (in Pidgin French), he brought me more of the same. The blueberries were likely from a frozen packet, and mushed then diluted down with some generic syrup stuff. Coffee was expectedly crap.
Please avoid this place to punish an establishment that dares to not serve freshly made crepes! In Quebec of all places! -

Great brunch spot in Old Quebec. We were famished (and extremely hungover) after a long, cold, but extremely fun, night out during our winter carnival visit. After stumbling out of the hotel aimlessly around Noon in search of nourishment, we luckily wandered into this nearby gem. The killer brunch platters and eggs benedict (yum!!) replenished us and brought us back to the land of the living. Cheers!

The only reason I give 3 stars is because of the atmosphere and service this place has. Pleasant design and quiet nice music dispose for a long conversations and you don't notice how the time flies by. Waiters are also very attentive and don't bother you during the meal at all. The food itself is solid but nothing to rave about. They have decent selection of wines. The deserts are not that great.

Sort of scruffy-elegant, lovely food and unpretentious service. Homey atmosphere. The sugar pie is to die for. Seriously. I had the caribou pot pie, which I guess is a must-try; it was good. As another reviewer says: the food is consistent & good. I regret not going back to eat here every night of our stay - other places were fine, but this one gets the balance of formal/casual exactly right.

The place is really informal - most tables were occupied by locals - and the the staff friendly. The only waiter was trying her best to tend all tables. The food was correctly done and was tasteful, but not exceptional. It is a good deal for Quebec.
