Le Café du Monde

Le Café du Monde is by far one of the best culinary experiences we’ve ever had. The restaurant is gorgeous, and the service was impeccable. Our waitress made sure we had everything we needed, checked in after every course to see how we were enjoying our food, and was always available for any questions. She even pointed out some of the best sellers to help us decide. The food was a-ma-zing. We started with the fried calamari; the dipping sauce was finger-licking good, and the breading was light and not greasy. The beet salad with creamy goat cheese was a perfect combination of flavors. For the main course, we had fresh ricotta ravioli and duck confit. The duck was cooked to perfection. The meat fell apart easily with just a fork. Honestly, it was the best duck I’ve ever had. We finished with profiteroles and a crème brûlée, both delicious and freshly made. For drinks, we tried two of their signature cocktails, but if you prefer something more classic (like a rum and Coke), they’ll happily accommodate even though it’s not listed on the menu. If we ever go back to Quebec (I live on the South Shore), I’m definitely going back for that duck! Overall, the experience deserves more than five stars, hands down.

A warm, inviting stop in the Old Port, Le Café du Monde delivered exactly the kind of morning I was hoping for. The view over the Saint‑Laurent River set the tone right away calm, bright, and beautiful enough to make you linger a little longer than planned. The food matched the setting. The pain dorée with fruits was comforting without being heavy, and the other meal we ordered was on the healthier side and balanced things out perfectly. The coffee stood out even more: rich, smooth, and surprisingly included in the price of the plate, which felt like a small victory in a world where refills usually come with a surcharge. Service tied everything together. Our waiter was friendly, attentive without hovering, and genuinely added to the experience. A place worth returning to, especially if you want good food with a great view and a relaxed atmosphere.

Great view of St Laurence River. Azamara cruise ship was leaving port when we were dining. The service was excellent, our server was very helpful. We didn't want appetizers and she brought us some warm bread and butter. I ordered the duck and my husband ordered Tartare de Boeuf and they were excellent. The sauce for the duck is superb, tangy sweet. Not a fan of goat cheese but the croquette was crunchy and very tasty.

I was worried when I realized this resto was in the cruise ship terminal, but I had a terrific meal — tender calamari, exquisite duck, a perfect cocktail and attentive friendly service. Highly recommend.

The salmon dish is good. The duck confit is so-so. Prefer crispy duck skin

Outstanding evening. Joanne our waitress was terrific. We were celebrating our 40th anniversary. She was very attentive. I absolutely loved the ambience throughout the restaurant. The food was delicious. Delicious steak tartar. The Caesar salad was fabulous. Can’t wait to come back for the French onion soup! We will absolutely come back.

Wow, what a dining experience! The views were absolutely breathtaking, and our waitress was fantastic—she truly made the evening special. We kicked things off with a delightful cheese board, then savored a mouthwatering cheeseburger with crispy fries, the coldslaw fish and chips, and the incredible rabbit with ravioli. Every dish was excellent!

A beautiful place— we went there for lunch and it wasn’t as busy! definitely need to make a reservation just to be safe! food was really good and our waitress was very attentive! they also serve yummy hot sauces with your food and they were amazing! Will definitely come back next time we visit Quebec City!
