Cafe Buade

The oldest restaurant of old Québec is a great place to try Canadian traditional food like the great variety of poudins. The service is great and fast

They have good food, but customer service is poor

We came here at about 8pm, no problem with seating (4 of us). Food was excellent (Esp. the veg soup and calf liver (delish!). Service was good, price was reasonable. Only negative- dessert menu is limited, no fruit/light things. But I'd recommend it.

One of our favorite restaurants in old Quebec. I love their escargot.

just trying General Tao Chicken, and Spicy Chicken Wings.. not bad! love the taste 💕

Excellent little restaurant with quality food. My wife and I had the chicken quesadilla and a poutine. Very good. Fast service.

This is a typical local food place located in the heart of old Quebec. Menu is the diner style and the clientele is older generation.

We stopped for dinner and had the fish & chips and a burger. One of the options with the burger was a house salad. Having driven all day, the salad sounded good so I ordered a side salad with my fish & chips. The burger was very good but the fish was just so-so. The salad however was great and really made the meal. The spring mix was very fresh and probably the best I ever had. The dressing went well with the vegetables in the salad.

Amazing food, friendly staff and great price!

Great place for food and drink

Very slow service, very limited choices. Waitresses seem over worked

Very nice ambiance. Food that we did receive was great! They forgot though my sons meal. Which could be due to take out being difficult for them. Not really sure what happened.

Made stop here with family for lunch. We all enjoyed food here. Smoked salmon was really delicious. Service was good and it did not take long to get food.

Good service and good food.

Definitely an old resturaunt serving food above average. Poutine had great gravy sauce, but the fries was average and the cheese were chunky. I can definitely take that consider its price point! The wings were served a little bit raw, but when we asked for re-heat, it ended up pretty well as the seasoning was very well-made. Garden salad had a large portion, yet its sauce is a bit bland. The service was great, but one server is too busy to deal with 8 tables. To summarize up, this place has a potential to be better, and if you are looking for a place that costs you less on food, this place is not a bad option. Oh and I love the Canadian Pea Soup hh. -------- Update: I got serious of diarrhea for the next 3 days. So, food safety is still a problem.

Traditional French food & more. Value for money.

Great price and friendly staff

You can have the best hot chocolate here but the customer service is bad.

DO NOT COME HERE! The worst food in Old town Quebec city and HORRIBLE SERVICE!!! I don't know how they manage to be on business for 100 years. That's what they claimed! Perhaps under different ownership and definitely a different cook. Food was super bad....very salty. AVOID this place. Any place will definitely better than this place. SUPER AWFUL SERVICE AND BAD FOOD.

Delicious steak

My family and I went here for lunch. As a vegan, there were not many options. I decided on the veggie baguette (minus the mozzarella) and a side salad. It was pretty good, they weren’t stingy on the veggies and the salad dressing was great. There wasn’t too much marinara though. We also got fish and chips, a caesar salad, the smoked meat sandwich, and pea soup. Besides the pea soup being too watered down and the caesar salad being okay for what it was, the food was good.

45-min wait for breakfast from the time we sat down. Lunch was a long wait the day before, also from the time we sat down.

Wonderful cafe in Old Québec that's great for breakfast. A simple but plentiful menu with hearty, sweet and savory options to please any one. Prices are very good, and you get a good portion for what you pay. The service is friendly, but can be slow at times leaving you with an inattentive feeling, especially if you're from a place with a faster pace of life. Overall, a very good place for some local cuisine.

Good breakfast and nice service.

The food could be better, but the service is very good. The dessert was amazing (Maple pie with ice cream)

Most of the food was good, but the fajitas had everything but meat and when we went to talk to the manager/owner about it, he was extremely rude!

Great little diner with good service and yummy food.

Food was okay, service was good.The place is a little bit run down.The price is okay. I had the fish and chips and it was soggy.

Service was fast and easily accommodated to English for us. They do provide options of breakfast lunch or dinner at your request. The location was clean and well staffed. My big complaints are that the coffee was cold initially and at refill. If you order scrambled eggs they are from a carton, over easy however is a real egg. While I can appreciate that instant eggs are a more convenient option; if I am paying for breakfast I expect real eggs. While eating my fake eggs, I found something I couldn't identify as egg in my scrambled eggs and that shutdown my whole interest in the eggs from there on. Location is great, I feel sorry for the server as she was very pleasant and helpful and I dont hold her responsible for any of the above other than coffee.

100 year old restaurant (per their signage). Small cosy authentic feeling restaurant. We had poutine nice crispy fries and gravy and cheese. Other items included pizza and more. Friendly service.

Service was ok.Order one dish,receive a totally different dish and the waiter offers whole 10% off.Big deal I couldn't eat more than half my dish.Would not recommend this place or go back again.

Ordered poutine with sausage which was filling. Sausage was warm with hot fries. Biggest disappointment was the pitcher of Sangria, which was not homemade with alcohol unnoticeable. Service was good and we were seated very quickly.

I don't usually leave bad reviews but the food was really bad. The spicy Buffalo wings were way too salty and spicy - completely inedible. The fries in the poutine was not fresh at all, and the cheese inside tastes like rubber. The service was not friendly at all. For the quality of the food, the prices are way too high. Would not recommend, go somewhere better if you want to eat.

Great food and service.

Was ok but with over 100 years of service I expected a bit more. Tasted great but left a bit hungry and my friend who ate with me was not impressed with the salmon and lack of vegetables when that was one of the selling factors. Overall venue and service was ok

Excellent fish and poutine dishes, servers really nice but sadly it takes forever to get your food and your bill, which is why I have to give it 4 starts. One hour experience at 1 PM to eat a meal that takes 15 minutes to eat.

We came in for a late lunch on a Saturday. We were seated pretty quickly. The place looks really cozy and warm. The server was friendly. The food quality was really good. I ordered the salmon tartar and it was tasty.

Good taste and I tried my friend menu that was also good taste. All staffs are kind.

God was really good but waiter very unappealing. Think he maybe owner. Just not personable!!

The service is good. A lot of choices to choose from for dinner. Maybe we chose a wrong dishes. For the price is ok and the food... We did have a little bit disappointed. I think we would pay a little bit more for a better looking and tastier food. Roasted salmon is $24 and the salmon tartare is $23 dinner, not a appetiter. The salmon tartare is tastier, but the look of the dishes.

My wife enjoyed her salad and I had their smoked meat sandeich. Delicious. Very nice interiors. Accessible from the street, but also part of a small upscale mall.

Where's the fish? Seriously, my fish and chips was 99% batter. The fish was as thin as a piece of cardboard and tasted like it too! The ribs my husband got were great. Just expected better fish seeing how this place is very close to the water lol

Food was ok, but the service was terrible, I ordert a water and first they said only one water. That’s not okay for a restaurant.

Fantastic food!! Had the classic burger. So glad to have found this place after D’Orsay turned us away. Was hoping for this type of comfort food and friendly staff!!

I had a nice Fish'n chip, the waiter was very kind to us and the food was good! Also the prices were ok. I recommend this place!

Great place. Think NYC diner with a nice Quebecois twise. Breakfast was great.

Good food with good service.u can get local beer and wine.They have special menu sometimes.100 years old family restaurant.you can try it..

If I could I would give -10 ....The worst service ever !!!

The quiche was great, pizza good and location excellent.

Okay. Service was a bit slow. To be fair it was on Canada's Thanksgiving. The entertainment was superb if you people watch. This is a family establishment. They called in others in the family to handle the tourist volume. What dedication! More importantly it was delicious. So go. Enjoy!
