Restaurant La Buche

This restaurant is ALWAYS busy, but there is a good reason for it, IT'S DELICIOUS. We came twice while here this vacation, for my birthday (Tues Jan. 16th, & Sat. 20th) I didn't mention that it was my birthday until we went to pay and our waitress insisted on wishing me a happy birthday and surprising me with a birthday treat. I was totally surprised! The food is always SO TASTY! Always recommend this as a must stop for brunch!

Excellent food and friendly staff at this unique rustic restaurant. The sugar shack plate is delicious and full of variety.

Amazing vibe and even more amazing food. Try to make reservation if you want to avid the long wait

What a wonderful place, the food is awesome, and the service is too good.
The ingredients are very fresh, and the salt is on the point.

Found this place on our first Morning in Old Quebec and liked it so much we went the following 2 Mornings for breakfast.

Juste MALADE. Tout était parfait, les assiettes en même pas 5min! Les toilettes trop nice, la bouffe juste DÉBILE. 3 heures de route aller ça en valait la peine amplement

Cool looking place in Old Quebec. I got some recommendations from a local and this place had the most number of tourists. Foods were just alright, none of them were anything amazing. I regret what I ordered in a sense that those were too safe choices; in another word, not interesting enough. Maybe I could have been happier if I ordered something different? Maybe, maybe not.

Based on what I had, I don’t think it really is worth trying this place given with lining and waiting (which exists even in Monday morning) but might be worth a try if reservation is made in advace. Not so difficult to make one via map.

I went there after receiving a recommendation from a local, but honestly, the food didn't taste as good as I expected. The omelet felt more like fried eggs than an omelet. I really liked the other bar I went to after being recommended by the local, so I had high expectations for this one, but I think it led to even bigger disappointment.

There was a line even on Monday morning, but I'm not sure if this place is worth waiting in line to eat. You can make a reservation quickly using maps, so I think it's worth trying at least once if you make a reservation. The atmosphere is pretty and nice.

Very busy at dinner time. Without a reservation we had a shared table, but it was fine, thank you. Excellent bison special, think buffalo prime rib. Classic U. S.rock music. Thumbs up!

Meh.touristy, churn & burn. Had the shepherd's pie.plate presented to me was mashed potatoes, creamed corn & "red wine infused beef", laughable because it was shredded tasteless "beef", all slapped on a plate- yuck. Deer tartar was ok, too sweet w/ "maple syrup" all over it. We should have run away when we saw the kitchy interior. Don't bother.

En visite à Québec ce samedi J’ai commandé l’assiette de crêpes érable avec fruits frais Très déçu par la qualité de la nourriture Trois petites crêpes avec seulement des framboises pour 18 $ Avec un extra patate à 5$ pourtant j’avais confiance avec les bons commentaires. Pas vraiment à conseiller, l’assiette de ma conjointe, Quant à elle, l’omelette au Champignons il y avait une tonne de champignons que s’en était abusé.

Décor original jusqu'aux toilettes. Repas délicieux. Prévoyez une réservation ou attendez vous à patienter pour de la place

Depuis le temps que je voulais aller déjeuner à ce resto! C'est fait! Et ce ne sera pas la dernière fois!
J'ai adoré! Le pain doré aux pommes caramélisées et sucre à la crème. Miam!
Il faut aussi goûter leur bacon à l'érable.
Le service est aussi impeccable!

Très bon repas, le personnel est très sympa! La décoration intérieure est très jolie, et les toilettes atypiques. Je recommande si vous êtes de passage à Quebec

WOW. This was an excellent restaurant. I only had time to eat at one place during my visit, and I'm glad I ended up at LA Buche.
The food came out only a few minutes after ordering. Hot food came hot and cold food came cold, can't ask for more than that. The menu features French Canadian cuisine. There was bison, rabbit, and venison on the menu (which I never saw in the rest of canada). The portions were large and every bite was delicious.
The restaurant itself is lively and decorated with eclectic Canadian items, stag mounts, sleds, syrup, etc. It's really a gorgeous little place.
There was so many staff members, service was excellent.
I had an amazing time enjoying the food and atmosphere I cannot recommend LA Buche enough, it is a must for visitors.

French toast was extremely salty and somewhat dry, not sure if it was a mix-up in the kitchen or what it is supposed to be like, but it wasn't the greatest. The service was great, prompt and friendly, and the food came out extremely fast. Cappuccino was also very good. Salmon crepe was nice too.

A deux pas du Château Frontenac, La buche est l’endroit parfait pour une bonne bouffe québécoise. Notre meilleur plat est la poutine avec le jambon, un plat à partager à deux Nous avons essayé les ailes de lapin et c’était délicieux selon mon fils, moi je ne pouvais pas manger du lapin, je les aime trop. Le tartare était délicieux. Les frites n’étaient pas les meilleures, mais la salade était bonne. Nous avons terminé le repas avec de la tire sur la neige. Et, nous avons remarqué qu’il y a possibilité de réserver pour un groupe de 20, ça donne de bonnes idées.

Such a wonderful restaurant. Great service and the interior it’s totally a different one than other restaurants. Highly recommended.

Loved the breakfast! Friendly, wonderful service and delicious food in a great setting. Highly recommended

Saddened to say this was a very poor breakfast experience. Coffee tasted like water. We asked for a refill, but the refill tasted the same. The French Onion soup was lacklustre, the main ingredient seemingly being cheese. The poutine was incredibly salty, the cheese curds cheap and plastic. The staff was nice and the ambiance very lovely, but the food incredibly poor. Left a bad taste in our mouths for a couple of hours afterwards.

Had such a delicious, pleasurable lunch today. The poutine, grilled cheese, pudding chomeur and Caribou cocktails were simply comforting and incredibly tasty. Service was thoughtful and attentive. Would definitely recommend️

Très bonne adresse pour une expérience traditionnelle mais dans l’originalité. Très bon service, repas copieux et très bon.

Fried chicken waffles supried me with spicy touch. I would say it is my first time to having it spicy, and it works. Cabane à sucre dish is decent good, with their little specialty. Lovely brunch here, nice service! Super recommended!

Great atmosphere. Appetizer was pea soup - very good and warmed me up. Main course was salmon salad, which was very good, especially the fried cheese.

Chanced upon this funky restaurant while looking for brunch in Quebec City. Love the decor and the ambience really enhanced our experience. My husband had the chicken and waffles which he loved. The sauce is not that sweet and really compliments.

I had the crepe with cheese salmon and spinach. I find that the crepe is abit too thick but not sure if that’s just the Quebec style. Loves the cheese and salmon.

Fun, quirky decor, good music, cool washroom, great atmosphere and excellent, friendly service by Jonathan…the other servers not quite as welcoming nor professional when it came to placing our orders on the table (pretty much slapped down without a word). Most of the food was a bit disappointing. Like the other reviewer said, the rabbit wings had wayyy too much sauce and the meat was dry and tough. The onion soup and salmon tartare with salad were tasty (fries with the salmon were awful and just not a good fit with the salmon). The tourtiere is worthy as long as you don’t dislike nutmeg (think it was nutmeg).

Ambiance de cabane à sucre a un niveau gastronomique. De plus le personnel nous a vraiment traité aux petits oignons. Un endroit a découvrir.

Great atmosphere, unexpected, friendly wait staff, great food quality and very different but amazing choices, Quebec cuisine done not overly fancy but so great

Breakfast exceptionnellement bien fait, des assiettes pleines de bonne bouffe. Au moins pour le déjeuner, tout vaut vraiment son prix.

C'est l'ambience qui prend le spotlight: un milieu chaleureux, des menus dessinés dans des cahiers de marchands, de la vieille musique Québecoise et l'une des toilettes les plus originales que j'ai vu.

Staff ben ben gentil.e. S
Merci beaucoup!

Très beau restaurant avec la thématique cabane à sucre et ses assiettes gargantuesque et délicieux. Service est un 5 étoiles vraiment à l'écoute du client

Loved this place! It was a great brunch spot, highly recommend if you are visiting or in the area. The food and bottomless mimosas are amazing and our server, Leo was the best. If you plan to visit I recommend asking for him!

Came back to this place after visiting Quebec city 5 years ago, and the food is still just as great tasting. Their Quebecois Sheppard's pie and the meat pie were delicious. The Sheppard's pie was extremely comforting to eat. The meat pie had chunks of generous portions of meat with a deliciously dressed salad. The food was so good, and the staff were even better. Superb service.

Food was excellent. Got a Salmon Crepe cause when in Quebec…. The Salmon Crepe was awesome. Prices for the area were great.

Came here on our trip to Quebec and I honestly can't rave about this place anymore! First off, when walking up cant go past the smell of fresh baked bread wafting out of this Place!
Nick was our server and he was the best! He took care of us and was so polite and nice but honestly the entire staff was so friendly and welcoming! It was my husband's birthday and we got the quebecois mimosa at brunch and Nick was just so attentive and made us feel really special!

Do yourselves a favour and make sure to visit this spot!

Ambiance top, brunch top. Véritable musicien, du moins le jour où on y est allé (en W-E)
Rien que pour les toilettes ça mérite d'être visité.

Excellent déjeuner yogourt à l'érable, fruits frais et granola maison Belle équipe de travail et décor fabuleux!

La Buche was fantastic. Our waiter Jonathan was superb. We were celebrating our 40th anniversary and they brought out sparkling wine as soon as we sat down. We had the grilled cheese and the ribs both were delicious. We then shared the chocolate cake. A fabulous place in Quebec city.

Perfect in so many ways! Great breakfast, atmosphere, service and location. Went multiple times during stay and enjoyed every minute

Always a good time. Good food and good drinks with very friendly people. The bathroom is very unique remember to bring a sharpie.

Loved it. Amazing quality, service and flavours! I got the cassolette du bûchron! Highly recommended!

Great place to be served by amazing staff and tasty dishes! Mike and Nick are the best! We are grateful to them!

Went there for brunch.
While the brunch menu is rather small, it is quite varied. Plates are quite big and very tasty. You have to taste their bacon if you go there.

Best restaurant best delishios food and best customer service! Special thanks to Nick and Mike! Guys you are very professional and very helpful! You made our day! We will come back 100%! Highly recommend this restaurant!
