After taking the funicular down from the upper city, we wandered the old town and found Le Pape Georges. It was on my list to try and we discovered it on umbrella alley. We were seated on the patio and our very sweet server was right out to take our drink order. Since we are eating Poutine all over Canada in search of our favorite. 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. The service was excellent as was the atmosphere. read more

We wandered around old Quebec City and felt lucky to find Le Pape George's on umbrella alley- which right now has hockey sticks. We had 9 people and they sat 5 at a table and 4 at the bar and we were completely fine with the arrangement. It is quaint and small and we could see our family and even shared some food since we Were close enough. The cheese fondue is not to be missed . It was absolutely the perfect start to our meal. Then we shared an original poutine and it also was delicious- best I had on our trip thus far! I ordered mussels for my meal and a steaming pot arrived and they were yummy. 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! read more

I was determined to find a wine bar to visit during our time in Quebec City and someone pointed me here. Despite being October it was nice enough out that we could eat on their patio, which was very small but charming. I didn't see the inside. We had a couple glasses of wine as well as cheese and charcuterie boards. It was exactly what I was looking for, though I do wish trying wine flights was an option. read more

This place is the real deal. Simple cheese plate with so much happening in an old low wooden ceiling space. Marinated red onion on spring greens with cheese called CHEVAL NOIR DE L'ISLE - one of the best I've ever tried - ashed bloody rind for a semi-soft cheese goodness. Also, smallest kitchen Ive ever seen and the Chilean chef does his thing! read more

A little stiff staff who reversed to English even when spoken to in French. There is indoor and outdoor seating but nearly no one sat inside due to the nice ambiance of the outdoor seating. It's rather small with only a few tables both inside and out - many of the outdoor tables are in direct sun even with the umbrellas. Tables outside are right next to a beautiful walkway decorated with hanging colorful umbrellas which makes for a spot for instagram photos - many people stopped and took photos while we were eating. Indoors is very dark and has a few tables and a bar. There is also a small restroom inside. Fondue appetizer - excellently done, if a little on the greasy side. Served with a side of bread cubes and you can add on a sausage. The sausage is impeccable, but I would've preferred an option to add a plate of veggies/fruits as well. Topped with a single pecan. They also carry peroni and serve them in lovely tall glasses. Light and airy beer. House salad is so fresh and comes with a lovely vinaigrette and a lovely mix of pecans and dried cranberries. Highly recommend this. read more

Stopped in for a beer on a mid afternoon weekday in February. Beautiful stone walls, it is like you are entering a cave. We sat at the bar and enjoyed a couple of local craft beers. Very friendly staff. We didn't have anything to eat but did admire the small cooking area. Wow! read more

Loved this place located in the umbrella alley. We sat at the bar and unbeknownst to us the owner was the cook behind the bar. It was the smallest kitchen I've ever seen. Tucked away in the corner of the bar. I was amazed the at the food that was coming out of this tiny kitchen area. The owner was friendly and engaging talking to us about his restaurant. The waitress that waited on us was also very friendly and attentive. We split the Oktoberfest hotdog with fries, it was delicious. The interior and ambiance were very nice. We could picture being here on a snowy night. A must try while in Quebec. read more

Came here for lunch and, despite it being very busy, we were seated in only 5 minutes. It's not every day that I'm in Quebec, so I had to try the poutine. And I'm so glad that I did - it was surprisingly very good! I would definitely come back here again for it. read more

Wonderful find in QC. Back room was a lovely place for our first meal and some drinks. Great staff, helpful and kind. Seafood chowder was delicious read more

So where to begin...we went here initially for the fondue and instead we got lots of amazing food, outstanding service, and a very fun and enjoyable evening. The owner came out to visit our table and was a riot (funny), we really enjoyed talking to him. As for the delicious food, our group of four had: Fondue, Tuna tartare, Beef tartare, and two Steak paninis. Everything was cooked to perfection and the atmosphere was very cozy and inviting. I would highly recommend Le Papa George's (definitely talk to the owner for giggles), enjoy! read more

This business states it sells food at midnight on this app and the only business around that does. After making a hike through the rain to eat here, they tell you "we're only a bar" upon arrival. How about stating that on yelp so people aren't mislead. read more

The good.... The lobster roll and large house salad with lobster and goat cheese were good. The eh... the wine selection is very limited. They are challenged with limited seating. The bad, the staff isn't trained well. It was mid October and about 45 degrees outside with no space heaters. They didn't have seating inside and we were only given an option if sitting at a 2top in the dark outside on a slope. We asked about a 4 top in the light and nobody was waiting behind us and they said no. Then another 2 top came in and got seated inside. The manager was kind and got us inside at the next open table, but the attitude of the other staff was not about service. read more

Well I had high hopes for this place. It was our first evening in QC and we were overwhelmed by the tourists crowding the streets. We found a table at this place on a little side street and the staff was friendly and there was enough on the menu to satisfy vegetarians so we took it. Wine was served promptly-food a little slower but not terrible. The part that was so odd was that with our Quebec fondue we were served both a bread basket and a huge plate of celery. Yes, you read that right, celery. This was not the vegetable plate promised by the menu. And it was not fresh and it was the skinny inside parts. A lot of fiber to be sure but very strange. Fondue was fine as were side salads but nothing outstanding. A strange experience indeed. read more

This place was awesome. Great food, excellent service, and a lovely atmosphere. My husband and I both had the beef stew, and found it delicious. It was flavorful and hearty. (Be warned, the menu options are a bit limited.) My husband enjoyed his locally brewed beer, but my Chardonnay was unfortunately a disappointment. The service was friendly and prompt, and we appreciated the fact they welcomed our 3 month old baby. We sat on the outdoor patio in front of the pub and it was quite pleasant. The pub is situated on a beautiful, quaint street in Old Quebec. There was live music playing inside, and we were able to enjoy it from the patio, where we could still hear, but it wasn't as loud. The tavern is apparently 400 years old, which is pretty neat. Overall, a great place for dinner and/or drinks! read more

The pub was located in a side street which was great and we sat outside which was great. The server was nice and spoke English too. We ordered a cheese/meat board called the papelle. We went during happy hour but they had no wine available on the happy hour menu? I thought the board was quite expensive for what we got $30. Was okay but would try another pub next time. read more

Since 1996, Le Pape Georges has been an annual go-to for my family and me when we visit this beautiful city. The menu rotates seasonally, but always delicious meat and cheese platters, full bar, Canadian drafts and friendly service are assured. Phil is the owner, is usually on site, and is always welcoming and engaging. The bar's interior and exterior is one big photo op, so put Le Pape on your itinerary, and thank me later! read more

Outside patio was cozy and private and we enjoyed the staff very much. The fondue was delicious along with some beers.

Interesting place with original 16/17th century bricks interior. We stopped by on our first day here coz it was really closed to our hotel. Food wise, it's ok. Perhaps because of the location, I thought it was a bit overpriced for what it is, hence 3 stars. Hubby got a beef stew but it barely had any beef, and a bit salty imo (even from a Midwestern/Chicago standard :o ) . My steak and fries were ok. Highlight was the salad that it came with. Be aware that there's tons of sauce on the steak, something I didn't expect. Not a sauce person, so that kinda dampen the experience. read more

Had a great time sitting at the bar and visiting with Phil who runs the place. The food was exceptional and the conversation with Phil, and his friendly staff, made our time pass way too quickly. And, we sat there for easily 3-hours. During our stay my wife and I shared a wonderful basket of fries, a fantastic and artful cheese board, a fresh bread service, and we split a burger that's was off the charts delicious.

What a gem. Stopped in for lunch by the recommendation of a friend and wasn't disappointed. Started with a draft beer. Not a lot of options, but that just played into the coziness of the joint. Ordered the seafood stew, overflowing with, well, local seafood. It was made in front of me, behind the bar, which made it feel like I had my own personal chef fixing lunch. It was like watching an artist honing his craft. The stew came with fresh French bread that sopped every last bit of food. I left happy, full and feeling like I had enjoyed a genuine Quebec experience. read more
