Restaurant Aux Anciens Canadiens - Quebec City, Quebec

So, we had heard so much about this restaurant as being a tradition Canadian food restaurant. The people were nice, friendly and accommodating but the food. The presentation was good but...... The chicken cordon bleu was so dry, even the sauce it was served with couldn't moisten it. The meatballs ... tasted like cardboard mixed with mystery meat. The meat pie was bland. Underwhelming meal. On the upside, the pea soup was good and so was dessert but how can you go wrong with maple syrup, cake and sugar. Read more

Food is great and our waiter was very nice! We had lunch here and it was $39 for drink, appetizer, main, and dessert. Simple great deal! I loved meat pie and maple caramel bread pudding! Our waiter was very kind and explained each dish. The place was like a little ... old house with cozy feeling. Would love to come back here again if I visit Quebec City in the future! Read more

No matter how the food is, I have to say the atmosphere here is like dead while we visit.. I came here couple years ago and it was so welcoming. To start with, the lunch combo for $39. the meat pie smell and taste like on shelf for 10 days, not fresh ... at all. Don’t do the meat pie, ground meat not good quality at all. Not recommend ordering this dish( forget the name, but it has bison, red deer, elk $65) it tastes like raw meet even fully cooked. Their maple syrup pie was soooo good!! Read more

My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful meal here on our last night in Quebec City and were so pleased with our experience! Our waiter Sam was incredibly knowledgeable not only about every aspect of the menu but he also has a great knowledge of the building's history which was ... super cool to learn about! It's 350 years old, the oldest building in town which is super cool! We really enjoyed the atmosphere in the old house environment and were so happy we got seated upstairs by the fireplace with all the fun old decor and unique construction. It is so quaint and the food was amazing! My husband tried the meat pie and meatballs and I tried the bison with blueberry wine sauce. We also tried the caramel maple bread pudding and blueberry pie for dessert. Everything was great! We will definitely come back here again! A+++ Read more

Wow.... very impressive. No wonder it's on 1001 places to go before you die. Little pricey but so good and so much historical ambience! The maple creme Brule was awesome indeed.
