Café-Terrasse La Nouvelle-France

It's a hidden gem just off the artists' alley. We sat outside on the terrace for dinner. The weather was perfect and the lights and the fire made it cozy. Overhead heaters; blankets if needed. Glass pumpkin centerpieces added to the ambiance. The cheesecake was dense, creamy and delicious.

This was my favourite place to eat in Old Quebec City! Tucked away on a small side street, we had dinner on the cutest patio. I ordered the 3 course meal and it was a great deal for $35. I was happy to have a truly authentic Quebecois meal. Yellow pea soup was a good size appetizer. The meat pie was piping hot out of the oven and very flavourful, fries were crispy and the fruit ketchup and beets were the perfect side accompaniment. Maple syrup pie was sweet and rich. Also ordered escargot and they were buttery, garlicky and yummy. Would definitely recommend.

Perfect can't complain. Hidden gem, I think it's tucked away and people miss it because of the tourist traps. Server/host had short hair and beard, very nice man.

We found this little gem based on other reviews and it was the best find. The white sangria is actually pink, and quite refreshing. We had classic combinations of meat pie and onion soup. The maple syrup pie is a requisite ending.

Underrated restaurant!
All of the employees are so nice and accommodating. They made sure all of the meals were plated well. The best service I have received in Quebec.
I got the French onion soup and the chocolate crème brûlée and everything was delicious. Note that you have to access the restaurant through a side street.
Beautiful ambience and not as crowded as the restaurants on the Main Street

The food was good, but the service was truly exceptional. The gentleman serving us last night did anything he could to look after us. We are very grateful!!!! I cannot say enough good things about our dining experience.
I think because this spot is tucked away, out of view from other attractions nearby, it might get overlooked. For those of you looking for a good place to eat, this is perfect! You should consider dining here! It is quiet and we were treated like royalty.
A+. Bravo!!!!!

A small cosy restaurant with incredible hospitality from the owner and staff and an exceptionally tasty cuisine.

The food is very well made, richly prepared with quality ingredients. Everything we ordered was delicious, with generous portions and a balanced price.

The staff is exceedingly friendly and courteous, and the owner is a jewel of a person. The waitress always had her corner under control and there was no table that was discarded.

This is a highly recommended place if you're ever visiting Quebec City.

If you’re looking for a family owned and run cafe in the heart of town, you’ve found one! It’s located down an ally way, so it’s more protected from the noise, wind, and crowds while having the beautiful terrace aesthetic.

The French onion soup is no joke. It comes freshly made in a large pot and is full of flavor. If you’re American and looking for something unique, try the elk stew. I finished my meal off with a chocolate cream brûlée that’s defiantly ranked in my top deserts.

This was such a cute spot! Yummy cheesy French onion soup and a croque monsieur! simple yet satisfying. it’s in the middle of town so there isn’t an insane amount of foot traffic around you, not very loud either. really enjoyed this place ☺

Found this little gem while walking around Old Quebec City. What draw me to it was the outside seating plus, the soup/salad combo on their menu. Both soups were excellent- French onion and white pea. Service was great. Definitely recommend 👌

We had an amazing dinner at this restaurant. 10 out of 10! Awesome staff, marvelous soups, delicious poutine, and clean and safe place. I truly recommend! Well served meal in a cozy environment. A must go! Enjoy!!!

Our 1st visit here...
Fantastic service..
Great outdoor seating..
Amazing menu ....
In-house Quebec draft ....

Love how it's hidden from the busy street. It's a quiet place to eat. Friendly staff and good food as well.

Cozy little bistro. They specialize in the outdoor seating; even in winter, with fire pits and hot beverages. The French Onion Soup was the best we had all week, huge portion. The staff were friendle and helpful.

We were greeted very friendly and seated by the fireplace. Food came quickly and was delicious. The mother and son that run this restaurant went above and beyond to make our experience pleasurable so much so that we stayed over 4 hours. Will definitely be back and highly recommend.

We had one of our best meals in Quebec at this hidden cafe. The escargot was flavorful and tender. The salmon with maple glaze was amazing.

We just stopped for a hot drink on the terrace while walking around beautiful Quebec City during the Christmas holidays. It is right on the corner of Rue du Trésor, a cute pedestrian street with artists selling their artwork hanging along the walls on each side. The Café had a nice gas firepit and outdoor sofas with blankets. The adults did not eat. 3 of us had a spiked coffee (with brandy). They had Hot chocolate for the kids. I had their "Caribou", traditional hot mulled wine and brandy. My niece was hungry and they let us order bacon wrapped sausages from the restaurant inside and even wrapped it to go in case she wanted to keep eating it while walking.Beautiful atmosphere with Christmas decorations. A great stop while touring the city on foot.

The Table D’hors option is well worth it compared to other places, especially for Quebec style food. Entrees come with generous serving of a side and small salad. Tourtière is unique and made with cinnamon. Maple pie was really good.

All the food we order were awesome and tasted excellent. I finished everything including the ice cream crepes. We belonged to a tour bus rendezvous for which they chose this restaurant and it was delicious, honestly! My steak melts in my mouth I didn’t even have to ask for A1 or worstershire sauce (sorry can’t spell that). Great dinner for the entire group.

Delicious food with a good variety of Québecois classics. Beautiful patio and location to complement the food. Servers were very friendly and made us feel at home. I love that they had a dog meal on the menu to make the meal a special outing for our four-legged friends as well.
