The french fries were great. We also had the truffle mac & cheese, which was pretty good. I ordered a Caesar salad without chicken and they messed up the order and didn't put any dressing on it but did put chicken on it. But they offered to remove it from the check so no problems!

I think I'm being a bit nice for giving it a 3 stars. My review is usually based on 2 important…read moreaspects. #1 being the service of utmost importance. #2 taste of food. Service here was average. It was nothing outstanding and nothing bad either. I was the one who walked in to ask for seating and had to ask several times for a highchair. We have a 1 yr old baby. Oh btw there is no changing table in the washrooms. So if you have a baby make sure you request a booth seat. At least this way you can easily change your baby on the booth seat without anyone having to see. Lol. My family ordered: - duck confit - burgers and fries - Meat Pie (DO NOT ORDER THIS!) overall the duck was a good portion but dry and salty. The burgers were apparently the only thing that was good which we had ordered but the fries came out so burnt my husband cut the inside of his mouth with a burnt sharp French fry. His gums inside his mouth actually started to bleed. Omg. Now let's talk about the meat pie which was so rock hard you can probably throw it at somebody and it would literally injure them. The pie crust was ok but the inside of the pie was rock hard meat that was sauceless and dry that chewing this meat made my jaws hurt. Just trying to swallow the meat inside the pie was so disgusting you could not possibly enjoy the food. Ambiance - cute and quaint. Very homey feel inside or you can choose to sit out on the patio where it was so hot. We decided to sit inside for this reason and it was nice and comfortable. Staff service - not bad. But nothing that stood out either. Overall - ok place if you looking for a quick bite. But the food is hit or miss. Your just taking a risk if you eat here. There are still better places within a 2 min walk that you can choose to eat at. And please please please DO NOT order the meat pie unless you want to be chewing rock-hard pieces of meat that is dry and flavorless.

Super cute bistro in Old Quebec. It was a rainy night when I stopped by and I was glad that I got…read moreseated. It's pretty small and most tables were already filled. It has got a bit of a snow ledge feel on the inside - high ceilings, wooden beams, brick. The host was also the bartender. He was really nice and could speak English. The menu was in both french and english - a bonus! I ordered a risotto of sorts with barley that had shaved apple in it! And also one of their signature summer spritzes. The risotto surprised me - the apple shavings gave it a slight tart flavor and the squash/beets gave it a rustic taste. The menu changes with the season and I think that their chef makes unique dishes. There is also a lengthy wine and cocktail list. Highly recommend - perhaps rsvp just in case.

My dad had the seafood chowder which was a huge bowl full of shellfish and potatoes, nice and thick and chunky.

Sometimes you know immedately that a dining experience is going to be very special. At Buvett Scott…read moreI knew when our host brought us to our seats at the end of the bar (which we had reserved). They were right next to the large pick-up window looking into the kitchen, and our host then said "These are the people who will be preparing your dinner", and introduced us to each person in the kitchen... by name. This is a very small place, cozy and atmospheric. If there are just two of you, sitting at the bar is the way to go. It's where you really feel the vibe and see what makes this place so special. The food is off the hook, and changes so frequently that it's pointless for me to highlight specific dishes. We had an amazing charred broccolli, a seasonal morel dish, razor clams, and unique egg mayo concoction. Doesn't matter. the food will be exceptional whatever they are serving. Thier Michelin Bib Gourmand (exceptional food at reasonable prices) designation is well deserved. But if the soul of Buvette Scott is the food, the heart is Marine, who appeared to be the only server on duty while we were there. She is a transplanted Brit (I believe), with a quick smile and a sassy outlook. Even as busy as she was, she had the time to engage us and make us feel like we were old friends. Stories were told, laughing was had. We were the last two left from the first dinner seating that day, and Marine and part of the kitchen team sat at the bar with us as we finished and shared insights about Quebec City and how they ended up there. Rarely have I felt so comfortable and at home in a place I have never been before. Really good restaurants serve up really good food... But truly great restaurants provide an experience that impacts you on many levels, and holds a place in your memory. Buvette Scott is a truly great restaurant.

The atmosphere is very quaint, intimate, and wonderfully dark, making the whole experience feel like you've stumbled upon a well-kept secret. The service was exceptional.

From the atmosphere to the food and service, this was a truly memorable dining experience. Definitely a hidden gem worth discovering!

Service was good, outdoor seating to watch all the tourists walk by. I had Penne pasta with duck confit. It was ok, not thrilled with the duck, it was greasy (yeah I know duck can be greasy but I've had it before better prepared and it wasn't greasy). My friends were kind of ho-hum on their food too (don't remember what they had). Not a great restaurant but fine if you're hungry and every place else is packed.

We…read moreopted to sit inside even though it was a nice day out, just because of how busy the street was. The servers here seem to work in tandem helping out wherever needed so we had two different people waiting on us throughout our meal which was cool! To start off with drinks we ordered a limoncello spritz and a fruitatto spritz. The fruit one was by far my favorite, but I'd also dangerous because you could drink them all day like water lol. The limoncello was delicious as well, just be mindful if you're not a limoncello person or have had it before that it'll be a strong flavor when you sip it! For our food we shared the Parmesan truffle fries as an appetizer, the Spag pollo (pasta with chicken, tomatoes, and veggies), and the 1608 flatbread (bechamel sauce, mushrooms, bacon, 1608 cheese, rosemary). Everything we had was so delicious & I even drizzled some spicy oil on top of the pizza which really elevated the flavor! If you're ever visiting Quebec City you have to check this place out!
