    Tried this place for some classic French food! It did not disappoint. We needed a classic French bistro type place to check off some items we wanted to try on our trip and this once looked like it would fit the bill. I loved the homey feel of the inside seating and I really liked the open windows seats which unfortunately were all taken. The service was nice and fairly quick and friendly. My first Kir Royale cocktail drink was here. And it was just lovely and fruity and bubbly! Crème de cassis liqueur and some bubbly poured on top. Just a classic French drink ! We ordered the French onion soup and the escargot also here. Both dishes were served up steaming hot and just amazingly decadent! Served with French baguettes of course! The soup was nice Rich brothy and cheesy and had nice chunks of bread inside and plenty of onions. Super tasty. The escargot were in a garlic butter and out of the shell so we didn't have to mess with the fiddly part! These were simply Devine and I ate them all! The buttery aspect gets you every time! Served up with more bread than we could eat . This was a pretty hearty snack. It's definitely a great place to get some classics and brunch and a bunch of other great menu options. With all the French decor too it was so nice to feel like I was eating this in France . They had some amazing looking desserts but we were all buttered up ! Cafe de Paris is a must in the QC!

    We stopped by this place to buy some pastry. The owner made some weird joke and corny so we didn't feel funny, but we were just getting along with because my friend had already paid her pastry by hoping the pastry, she bought will be good but honesty if I was there at the beginning, I would tell her not to buy it, but it is ok she has to learn by herself.

    Great wine! We visited this winery, definitely check it out!

    Small restaurant but full of personality! This was our first time in Canada, we chose to go to Old Quebec because of all the history and the architecture of the buildings! This restaurant had that European feel and we had our first dinner there. We thought people exaggerated about the French Canadians not being nice... sadly we found out as soon as we arrived at the hotel that it was true. But when we got to this restaurant, they were very nice despite our apprehension when we walked in. We don't speak French but fortunately they spoke English here. We had pizza and salad and delicious wine! The waiters here were super friendly! We would definitely recommend this place!

    While walking around Quebec, we kept looking at menus posted outside some of the restaurants before coming to this Cafe. The menu looked like a good selection of items, both regular fare and fancier food. I joked earlier about eating some "Frenchie-food", or some local Quebecian dishes. So, we went in. I liked the feel of it immediately, and the host was quick to greet us and seat us. There was a guy singing and playing guitar, both French language and American rock standards. He was very good, and entertaining. Service is by committee here, so someone is always coming by making sure you have water or if you need another drink. I had a red ale. For appetizers, I wanted to try the Soupe aux Pois Canadienne (Canadian Pea Soup), which gave me my local food. We also ordered Courgettes Gratinees (Baked Zucchini with cheese and tomato sauce). For my main entree, I chose Beef Bourguignon. My travel girl chose from the Prix Fixe menu, Puff Pastry with tomato and basil app and Quebec Pork Chop in maple sauce for a main. Comes with dessert. Which was pie and chocolate sauce. THE FOOD: The pea soup was delicious. Not creamy like American pea soup. This was pea heaven, wonderful in its simplicity. The Baked zucchini was also fantastic. Tons of flavor in a great rich tomato sauce and cheese bake to perfection. This was the first time I've had Beef Bourguignon and I gotta say, it was superb. The sauce was rich and savory, thick with flavor and just made the meat even better. It came with baby carrots, French beans and red potatoes. All were delicious. Travel girl's puff pastry was light and airy with great tomato and basil flavor. The Quebec Pork chop was done perfectly, moist and tasty. Pie good. We were not in a rush and the restaurant was 3/4 full, so food was slow coming out, but we didn't mind. It was a great atmosphere and a beautiful day. Service was sooo excellent. We were made to feel like regular customers, and had fun.

    Wait staff were very nice and tolerated our inability to speak French. I had Poutine au poulette croustillant. Great french fries, crispy chicken, gravy and cheese curds were excellent.

    Ice cider and chocolate pudding.

    We found this lovely place on Rue St Louis and were very pleased with the wonderful and super friendly service. We had the quiche and crepe dinner specials, which were very tasty. The Black Forest cake was excellent and the chocolate pudding was good. Try the unique Quebec ice cider as an aperitif. We sat by the window and enjoyed the view and flavors!

    Châteaubriand or as they say in the United States filet for two

    Forget those bad reviews‼ we love Café De Paris‼ We are gourmets and the Châteaubriand was fantastic with lots of vegetables and salad or soup . The excellent service was friendly and welcoming. if you miss this restaurant you miss the best part of QubecCity

    Dinner was amazing!

We so enjoyed sitting on the patio, it was a beautiful day, we were people watching and enjoying the umbrellas place up the alley. Our poutine was delivered to the table and I can honestly say it was our favorite. The fries were crunch and creamy on the inside. The gravy was rich and had a deep flavor and the cheese curds had lightly melted. Every bite was perfect. The eatery and bar are tucked into a stone house that dates back to 1668, if only the walls could talk. The bar and restaurant feature local Quebec cuisine and is a gem.

Ambiance and service were great. They accommodated our awful French attempts. Drinks were large. Honestly, I feel lucky to have dined here. Everything was wonderful!

    It was decent…read more Tonight (Monday) was our first of 5 nights in Quebec City ahead of a cruise to Boston. We decided to try Portofino. We made an online reservation for 7:30 pm. We arrived on time and waited maybe 5 minutes before being seated. All the outdoor tables were full so the two of us sat at a low 4-top inside not far from the kitchen. Water was brought right away. Our server then took our drink, appetizer and entree orders. We each had a pint of Stella beer on draft and we shared an order of their Focaccia bread, served with butter and a dish of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. The beer was cold and because it was draft, not from a green bottle, no skunk smell or taste :) The Focaccia bread isn't what we make in the States, but it was find. More of a soft, yet dense bread, topped with herbs. For $3 CAN, it was a deal. Later on, the Casesar salad was brought out. It was a generous portion and was plenty for the two of us to split. The dressing was tasty as was the shaved Parmesan cheese and the house made croutons. Later, our Cannelloni entree came. It was in an oval dish that had been baked. The full order came with 2 Cannellonis. Here again, plenty for two people to share. It was stuffed with a meat and cheese mixture. We were too full to be tempted by their dessert menu. Our friends arrive from the US in a couple of days, so we've made another reservation here at Portofino for the four of us. The only downside to Portofino was that it is popular and busy, so it was a bit loud inside.

So we kept getting bumped by the servers. The waitresses were very nice however they were a little sloppy when pouring water into our classes, there were many times that I had to clean the table with a napkin because water got all over the table, so that was wasted napkins... The food wasn't too bad, I'm not gonna lie. I have to say, I've had a bit better. The desserts were amazing though. The bathrooms weren't as cleanly, I mean, the floors could've used a bit of a cleaning and as a germaphobe, it didn't sit well with me. Overall, would I come here again? I'm not too sure because I live far away lol but it was decent enough.
