L’Ascenseur - Quebec City, Quebec

Ascenseur du Faubourg, 1942 by Wilfrid Lacroix The Faubourg Elevator is a prime example of public Art Deco architecture and holds significant architectural value. Originally designed to accommodate two elevator shafts, only one was operational initially. This elevator could transport 16 people and travel 300 feet per minute, completing a round trip ... in one minute. Read more

Cozy small cafe, nice coffee and pastries. Definitely worth stopping by.

We stopped there for a breakfast. Good and fresh baked goods, quishes straight from the oven, panini. They had a combo (think around $10) - coffee, sandwich/quiche, pastry. The staff is very nice.

What a great place. I got to interact with the morning staff after getting a bit lost on my way to the Christmas Market. The male staff who was working at the time went above and beyond to help me to find my way. For his trouble, I decided to ... make a purchase and brought a brownie. My goodness the brownie was good! He said it was made in house. As I continued my journey, I noticed how affordable the food were here. So in the evening after I finished sightseeing and freezing my butt off in the Quebec weather, I stopped here to warm up. This time was a different staff. The place was empty but people come in and out to use the elevator. They have different panini sandwiches for $7cad! This is after Canadian taxes. As of matter of fact, all the prices posted are after taxes. So no surprised total. I got the Mexicana panini. They actually ran out of that particular sandwich since it was 7:30pm and it's one of the popular sandwiches. But the female staff was kind enough to make me one. While I waited, I ordered a large matcha latte. Very good latte. I was tempted to order another one. With the location of this place and affordable prices, I'm surprised they weren't busy. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for food around the area. Read more
