Liked this spot so much, we ate here twice. Close to The Manoir Victoria Hotel and really good food and prompt service. First night we shared Fettuccine with "shrimps" and baguette. Next day, returned to share cheese platter and wine. Perfect! Happy place. read more

Very friendly staff. Lovely atmosphere and felt very welcoming. We tried the famous French onion soup with braised beef, which was SO DELICIOUS. It was loaded with braised beef and lots of cheese on top and the broth was rich and flavorful. Next, we tried the classic traditional Poutine which we shared, the servings are very generous. Lots of cheese curds, crispy fries topped with rich thick gravy. read more

This resto has been around since we first starting coming to Québec City 25 years ago. This location is a mere 50 yards away from their former location on St. Jean. It was our first time in the new location as well as the first time eating horse meat. Folks, it was absolutely delicious and oh so tender; the sauce was outstanding, so to the mixed variety of vegetables which included Brussels sprouts, carrots, broccoli, white beet and fingerling potatoes. The service was top notch; food quality excellent and the total experience memorable. You won't want to miss stopping here for a meal when visiting Québec City. read more

Probably the best French Canadian place I've had so far here in Quebec City and I've studied every place quite extensively. Price was reasonable. Selections quite authentic. Flavors were also good. Service was prompt- they speak both English and French, which most businesses on this street due to high tourist flow, speak both languages. Must try: Beef cheek in vin. Understated dish but perhaps should be their star attraction despite the competing poutines, pastas etc. For those who know stews, the beef cheek is the most supreme cut of meat to make in a slow stew. It is a different melt in your mouth that no chuck, oxtail, or parts of the body can copy. Cheeks are also super hard to find in the stores because most of it is gristle and fat and require a lot of work to trim. So for them to present a nice large piece, is already pretty hard to find. it is paired alongside a scalloped potato slab and some steamed veggies. A very 5/5 dish. Memorable and I even considered coming back for round 2 for dinner since I've not seen a cut of meat this soft. Ordered potted rabbit out of curiosity. Nothing particularly special for those wondering about this- reminded me more of a chicken salad paired with some toasted bread and salad. So, it's a safe tasting dish if you want to say you've had rabbit before. Steak tartare- a good dish and must try up here in Quebec. It was more sour than I remembered compared to France, and this may be a variant here in Quebec. Nonetheless, mind over matter if you can, it's very good. Ambiance: upscale bistro vibes- but not to the point where you can't bring kids. I had a table full of them behind me but yet you can also get dressed up and make this a special date place tool read more

Whatever you do, don't order the fish and chips! Probably in the bottom 2 or 3 I have ever had in my life and I've had a lot. Heavily breaded and absolutely no taste. There was hardly any fish. I asked the woman at the next table and she said hers were awful also. I told the waiter and he never apologized or said anything. That said the place has a good ambience. Service was only ok. Our waiter was an older man who gave me the impression he didn't like Americans. My wife got pizza and it was good so maybe they should stick to that. I wouldn't go back. read more

We walked across the street from Hortus where we had the worst encounter with a bartender who obviously dislikes tourists. What a complete difference here. The employees especially the bartender were the friendliest we have met in Quebec. We sat at the bar and split the pepperoni pizza. It was very good, and easily shareable. Even though it was late and they were closing we were not rushed. Loved the ambiance and decor. If you're a tourist looking for a place to eat, definitely give this place a try. read more

The only reason I came here is because it's the only place in Quebec City that serves Cheval (horse meat). According to the hotel concierge they do not take reservations - first come, first serve basis. There was line outside, and again another half full restaurant. Just don't understand it. I show up and walk in and head to the bar. There were about a dozen seats and only two were occupied. I was told by the hostess that I needed to wait to be seated even at the bar. Ok, went out and got on queue, as the Brits would say. Few minutes later the hostess lets in about a dozen people and then proceeds to tell everyone else that's on queue that they are full because the chef will not be able to handle any more. I asked the hostess if I could be seated at the bar. I told here I'm here for one dish and one dish only - cheval. She went in to check with the chef, OK I was allowed to be seated at the bar. WOW! what a special privilege. I guess I was chef approved. It took over and hour for my dish to arrive. In any case, I just kept drinking the wine, didn't care, didn't have to drive, the hotel was a couple of blocks away. Struck up a conversation with another expat so the time slipped away. Finally my cheval arrived - horse flank steak, medium rare with shallots, fingerling potatoes and vegetables, looks good. First bite - oh, tender, somewhat of a new flavor, not gamey at all and not chicken or beef or lamb...I did enjoy it but I have nothing else to compare it to. I also had a crème brûlée. I guess in Quebec City chefs rule the restaurants - don't know what to say. I would give it another try if I had the opportunity but wouldn't go out of my way. read more

An unexpected easy pitstop on our last night as we had not intended on this area. We sat at the bar and had martinis, tartare, mini poutine and mushrooms. It was a great small bite and the service was first class and pleasant. The ambiance was very mellow with gentle jazz wafting, all in all a perfect wind down. They have been in business for 35 years and moved to the current building 10 years ago. Prices were great. read more

We stopped in bc it was close. The service was lovely. The dinner was fine. One person really enjoyed their salmon tar tar. One person liked their spaghetti bolognese. The other two of us can't recall our meals- kind of forgettable. If we had more energy we would have found a more interesting spot. read more

More like a 3 1/2 Star restaurant but I'm feeling generous. I had the veal scallopini and my wife had a salmon pasta dish. She loved hers. Mine was just OK.

The food was good and the ambiance was great, but one plate came out too late after all the others were already done, so it was a bit inconvenient. We still enjoyed our evening anyway because the location was in the middle of many activities! read more

The service was outstanding from Dahlia. She knows what to do to make customers happy. The food was superb with flavor over the top. You must order the house red wine for a great accompaniment to dinner. We hate to get on ship because we know the food will not be as good as the food here. read more

Did's not expect much based on current rating, but we were pleasantly surprised. Beef liver, French onion soup, salmon and duck were pretty tasty. Great service. All 5 stars. read more

My husband and I had dinner here on our most recent trip to Quebec City. I was afraid that the food would be expensive and not very good since it's in the touristy part of town, but I was pleasantly surprised that the food was pretty good and the price was reasonable. We both had the table d'hote ($28) which gave you an appetizer (2 choices), a main (5 choices), a dessert (2 choices) and tea or coffee. I had the terrine as my starter. It was a duck pate with a sunflower seed and pickled vegetables chutney and a side salad. It was really tasty. My husband had the cream of carrot soup. I had a taste and thought it was ok (a bit too rich of my tastes). I definitely think I chose the better appetizer. We both had the Steak Frites as our main. The steak was a bit tough and oddly oily, but for the price I can't really complain. The fries were shoestring fries (my favourite) and so crispy. It came with mayo, but I ate mine with ketchup. I think the mayo was made in-house. It also came with a salad, which was a real mixed greens salad with shredded carrots, cucumbers and radishes. Veggies were fresh and the salad was big. I had the key lime pie for dessert. It was served in a tall shot glass with a side dollop of whipped cream. It was just the right size and equal parts sweet and tart. It was the perfect ending to the meal. My husband had the chocolate mousse cake. I had a taste and it was rich and creamy. I would have been happy with his dessert too. Service was excellent. Our server was Denis and he was very attentive and nice. The decor was cool. I really liked the big globe lights (see pictures). read more

Loved the food and Dahlia was a great server! We even brought our dog and ate outside. Would recommend the steak tartare.

Presentation was ok, but food was not so great. We saw 3 other tables return their food because of how bad it tasted. The burger was too creamy, the chicken was dry, the fries in all meals were subpar, it was a bit pricey, and the ribs were ok. I don't understand why there were long lines outside. read more

The nachos were some of the best I've ever had. The food was great, and the server very pleasant and helpful translating the French menu into English.

The food was pretty good, the fish and chips were a bit over battered and over cooked. The service was great! And it's a very nice setting.

We've eaten here once or twice a year for ca. 20, including the old location and times when we hand only just enough $. (Profile pic was there 6 years ago) They take some reservations, also still do walk in's. Warm service, quick plates, great value, good wine, excellent cooking, something for my kid. Hubby (from nearby) swears it's the same waiter and I believe him. Highly recommend for 4 or fewer, and a few tables can squeeze 6 or more - an efficient team. One of my fav places anywhere, ever. I get lamb if they have it and sometimes duck or duck poutine. They always act like we were there last week. Just go. read more

Food was okay. I wasn't too hungry so I got the French Onion soup and my bf has the blood sausage plate. I saw a lot of reviews about the attitudes of the servers. I did see that they interact a lot with the locals more than the non locals but that didn't bother me. My server was polite and to the point. I think the way he presented himself with the 'to the point' attitude may be what puts people off in the reviews I've read. Overall, it was an okay spot; definitely a tourist restaurant based on where it was located in Old Quebec. read more

We stumbled across this restaurant while walking through the old city. We tried some of the local rose wine and it was really good and on the cheaper side as far as drinks in Quebec go. We tried the charcuterie board. It was slim on the meat (3 slices) but came with a very nice selection of cheeses and a beet and honey chutney which was very nice. They have a good spin on the classic French onion soup; it contains actual braised beef. I tried the gruyere, bacon and ham white pizza and it was more of a round flatbread than a pizza, but was quite flavorful. To top off the night we had a seasonal chocolate coffee creamers brûlée which was out of this world delicious. read more

Quaint little bistro, featuring Steak Frites, Coq Au Vin, and heavenly thin crust pizzas! Located on the corner of Rue St. Jean, on the ground floor of Hotel du Vieux-Quebec (also a great find, and a great value). We've been patrons for a LONG time, beginning with our honeymoon some years ago. On that trip, I fell in love with olives because immediately after we were seated, our server brought a tureen of mixed olives, seasoned with herbs, garlic cloves and olive oil. They were a perfect compliment to our pizzas, salads, and wine. Years later, Les Frères de la côte still stands the test of time. Still a great spot to cozy up with your honey over a glass of wine and a good meal. TIP: try the Pissaladière Niçoise, a tart filled filled with carmelized onions, anchovy fillets, and black olives! read more

We stopped in on a lark and we were very pleased that we did. Great big portions at reasonable prices and very good food. It's a good family friendly place with something for everyone. I really enjoyed the osso bucco far more than I thought I would. The gnocchi made the dish but it had very large tender pieces of veal and bone marrow (of course). The pizza was also good though there are probably better pizza places around. Service was friendly though the waiter disappeared a bit before we could get the check. Busy place. They spoke English well and were friendly to us. Only complaint is that one steak frites came out about 5 minutes after everyone else. But it was done perfectly medium and was a great deal at just $14.95. Fries were tasty. My take: Trust the reviews from the elites. This is a definite find in the midst of lots of places. Nothing gourmet but a very solid enjoyable dinner at a reasonable price. Yay. read more

We went there for brunch on a Saturday morning. We ordered the Quebec pizza with no meat, my friend ordered the Poutine with no meat. Another one tried the brunch plate. The food was all good. Our table was placed very close to another table but I guess a lot of places have cramped layouts. Our server was polite and brought the pizza in two plates once we told her that two people were sharing. The ambience was good. read more

This restaurant has been very consistent for years....Used to be next to a hotel in Vieux Quebec, now it is located just a block up....closer to the Port St Jean. I had the moules et frites a volonte.....All you can eat Mussels and Fries for $19.99. They were good. I had the white wine and onion sauce first...then the peppercorn sauce. The latter was delicious and creamy...the former was a light. Fries were not as crispy as I like them, but OK. My BF got the Steak frites. The steak was good...not Prime nor Choice cut by any means, but still good. read more

These guys would have been a 5 if we didn't have to send one over cooked steak back. They did replace it fairly quickly. The steak frites is as good as Saint jean with exception of not having to pay the high price. The service was excellent. They are sweet, friendly and attend to you . The tortellini was excellent and the desserts succulent. The patio is nice and there is live music outside on the street. The only downfall just like any other restaurant on st jean is the wait . They do not take reservations for outdoor seating. read more

On the busy streets of Quebec City, there are so many restaurants to choose from - and to be frank, Les Frères de la Côté is nothing supremely special. However, if you're looking for a decently priced meal and a satisfied stomach after a long day, this place is definitely worth trying! First off, as an anglophone, I really appreciate it when the waiters ask you for your preferred language. As I wanted to practice my french, I tried to order in french but they just responded to me in english. I understand that I am not the best at french but it is discouraging to try to speak, just to be shut down. However, I didn't let that get to me as I was very used to it by now. Guess it's Quebec culture? Bread is complimentary here and very warm and crisp. We unapologetically got three baskets worth haha. I ordered the Duck Confit Burger and was very pleasantly surprised. Portions were awesome as I was given a salad, fries and burger. Ratio of duck and bread was on par and the orange marmalade added a certain acidity and sweetness that elevated the already aromatic flavours of the duck. French fries was crisp and not too oily and salty and salad was ordinary. I HIGHLY recommend ordering this burger. Other people in my party ordered the Carbonara, Duck Poutine, and Pizza. The Carbonara pasta came in a very small portion and my friend was not filled. It was also slightly bland. Duck Poutine was typical and the portion of the Pizza was also very small. Overall, it was a good dining experience but the food wasn't extremely special. There are definitely other restaurants in Quebec that are more worth trying. However, food was still yummy and service was mediocre. I wouldn't come back but I still enjoyed it. read more
