Le Café du Monde - Québec

Dined here for lunch, outside, on a very pleasant afternoon. Restaurant is located waterfront at the cruise terminal lovely views of the river, under cover. Restaurant is large and modern. Menu is large enough and includes some nice seafood dishes. Lobster and shrimp roll was quite good. Salmon poke bowl was also delicious. Service was very good. Not as inexpensive as the cafes in the historic areas, but the food was better!

Nice server. Excellent view of the river and city across the water. Menu had English on it. The martini and beer were awesome. The food was awful. I would suggest going for drinks only. The bread (upon request) was hard and cold like you’d get from a cheap cafeteria and came with packaged butter cups which should have been the first red flag. The French soup was ok. The seafood soup (soup of the day) was good but not great. The Cornish hen was just ok. My flank steak was burned on the outside in several places. It was super fatty (I realize flank is a cheap cut but coming from the Midwest I’ve had nice flank steak) and just not good. The fries were limp and soggy. I had 4 bites and was done. Left hungry and ended up eating across the street at another establishment. For 2 soups, 2 entrees, and 3 drinks it was $130ish US dollars.

Good tourist trap with very nice views. Seafood chowder was excellent, very creamy and tasty. Food was slightly above average but nothing special. Would recommend mainly for the locat6/experience.

This was one of the few restaurants that actually let us sit outside with our kids. We had a lovely table on the deck. Our waitress was incredibly nice, even though there was a bit of a language barrier (my fault, not hers! . They were able to accommodate my request to have the tuna cooked well in the Nicoise salad. My husband got the duck salad and it was the definite winner of the meal. Absolutely delicious. I love the way the restaurants (particularly in this restaurant group have very elevated and fun menus for the kids. Two of my kids had the chicken tenders that were delicious and a huge portion. But even better was the veggie app that was presented so fancy that it makes the kids feel really special. Kids meal also included a drink and dessert, which was a delicious profiterole. Overall, the food and service was great. The only thing to note is that there is a noisy bar below this restaurant. There was live music and we did not want to sit anywhere near the music because it was loud. It happened to be music we like, but if it wasn't it would be annoying. Just something to know about. Otherwise, the view is fantastic and it's just a lovely setup. Drinks were good, too.

Once again, another gem with waterfront views in Quebec City. Server was fantastic, really caring and telling us so much about QC. Food was great and what an ambiance. Thank you.
