Auberge La Goéliche

We were led to this restaurant by both its location and it's favorable Google reviews. Another example of diners being too generous with stars here. A pleasant enough location with attentive staff. The food we ordered was quite highly priced for its substance and presentation. Canned shrimp and lobster salad on a bun for $39. A confit duck leg on a bed of silly potato salad for about the same price. I began to notice other offerings being served around us that seemed to be of similar character. I guess everything just costs more now. In the end it's not just the cost though, but the optics of being led on by both the restaurant and Google reviewers that gets to me.

This restaurant by the waves is something special. Peaceful, full of personality, and the kind of place that makes you want to stay a little longer. The staff were super attentive and made the whole experience feel easy and warm. We had the fish and chips; absolutely delicious, like a plate of harmony! The drink we ordered was also amazing; local, full of character, and totally memorable. If you're on the island, this spot is a must. Simple, soulful, and just right.

After a leisurely tour around Île d'Orléans, we decided to stop by Goéliche Hôtel-Resto, almost on a whim, and we’re very glad we did. Nestled right on the shoreline, this charming spot offers not only a peaceful ambiance but also one of the loveliest views of Quebec City across the St. Lawrence River.||We sat out on the terrace and started with a sangria for me and a Hugo spritz for my wife. Both were refreshing and well balanced, perfect for a warm afternoon. For lunch, we ordered two guédilles, Quebec-style lobster and shrimp rolls. This local specialty was new to us and turned out to be a delightful discovery. Light, flavorful, and generously filled, they were easily among the best bites of our trip.||Our server, Chantal, was courteous and warm throughout, striking that rare balance between friendly and professional that makes a meal feel like a genuine pleasure.||Goéliche Hôtel-Resto is the kind of place you remember fondly. Not flashy or overdone, just quietly confident in its setting, service, and kitchen. A highly recommended stop for anyone exploring the island or simply looking to enjoy good food in a beautiful, tranquil spot.

We went to the restaurant and had craps and beef tartare. The food was amazing. Really amazing seasoning. Perfectly arranged all round great food. Also a great location with a terrace on the riverside. Definitely recommended!

This is a lovely restaurant right on the river. The menu is authentic; I had a Duck Poutine and my friend had a Ham Panini. The coffee was delicious. The server was helpful and friendly. The atmosphere - wonderful! We sat at an open window with a view of the patio and river. We would have sat outside but it was too sunny, and I burn easily.

The food tasted like a drop of heaven—absolutely delicious! I ordered the duck leg, and it was honestly one of the most superb dishes I’ve ever had.

We went there for lunch. Decent dining place, good indoor and outdoor seating options. Food quality good

Absolute wonderful reception!! We visited in November. We were looking for a nice place to have brunch. They welcomed us with open arms, even if we were too early for the dining room. They encouraged us to sit in the living area filled with history, games, photos, paintings. It was beautiful! Thank you for your hospitality, warmth and sharing history. Much appreciated
