"Set in one of the city’s oldest houses dating back to 1675 in the heart of Old Quebec, this iconic staple of refined Quebecois cuisine offers a fine-dining experience without pomp, a stark contrast to the boisterous spots nearby. Opened in 1966, it remains beloved for tarte au sirop d’érable et crème barattée: a silky-rich maple syrup pie made with butter, heavy cream, and eggs in a shortcrust pastry, served with a dollop of Chantilly cream. Lunch or midafternoon is the best time to dine, when most people are out exploring the surrounding historic neighborhoods." - ByPamela MacNaughtan
