Reviews for Café Buade in Québec, QC
A huge no no to the onion soup? just bad! A very small portion, burned toast and almost no fromage. The service was not fun. The... waitress asked how the food is, we said that we have a problem, she said perfect and left. Read more
Great location, but really bad food. Definitely skip the onion soup- extremely salty, thin with a burned toast. Poutine was... cold- had to send back for reheating- and, you guested it, salty. Cafe Buade supposed the oldest in Quebec City, someone isdefinitely screwing with tradition here. Read more
The staffs are friendly, but they are quite busy while we were dinning in at 7:30pm on Saturday., So waiting time might be... longer than usual. Don't miss the pasta and the duck burger! Read more
I ordered the clasic poutine - very delicious. They also have some dishes for vegetarians so everybody can choose! I recommend... you to have Cheval beer(wheat beer). The waitress was nice. Favorable prices. Read more
The food was pretty good definitely would recommend the smoked salmon bagel. However, the service was really slow and the... washroom is not inside the restaurant and annoying to access (you have to ask for a token to use it). Read more
I?ll be honest that I am usually quite persuaded by a restaurant?s online rating and if I had seen this place online prior to... visiting I probably wouldn?t have planned on dining here. BUT! I am glad I didn?t make that mistake of judging a book by itscover. My company & I happened to stumble across this place randomly and saw a sign for poutine + beer special for 17.90 CAD. Itwas getting dark and we were hungry so we walked in without much expectations. We were greeted and were offered menu and wateras soon as we were seated (you?d be surprised at how many places leave you sitting there thirsty). The waitress was amazing. Sheeven offered to take a picture of us and was kind and accommodating. When she saw me going to the restroom she told me I?d needa coin to access it and gave me one of her own!! There was another older man working (in a red shirt) and he was also veryattentive. When he saw me eating pizza on my poutine plate, he came up to me and handed me a small plate for the pizza. It wassuch a nice gesture. The poutine was nice and hot and delicious and so was the pizza. It was fresh and warm, with the crust flatjust like we had asked. We got dark beer, and although I don?t know the name of it, it was SO GOOD that we ended up orderinganother glass. We actually couldn?t finish the pizza and felt too embarrassed to ask for a take out box as we know it?s not anorm outside of the US. When asked, they gave us an aluminum container which allowed us to take the leftover back to ourhotel!! My only suggestion for improvement is perhaps closing the restaurant door during the evening hours. We sat by theentrance and although the interior of the restaurant was warm the front door was left open and it caused the wind to blowinside. Overall I was satisfied by my experience, and I definitely plan on coming back one day. I recommend this restaurant ! Read more
The waitress we had was very nice, sadly there is an older man who had no time for us. The food was mediocre at best but mostly... hard to eat. We had made a large order for dinner for 6 people, and wait 57 mins for the food to come. Right away the Frenchonion soup was frozen and cold, the chicken linguine was a spaghetti instead and had a weird chalky taste, the all dressed pizzawas alright just cold too, the chicken fried rice was over cooked and the rice was too dry and hard, they messed up the vegprimavera came with chicken and no sauce , the fish and chips were stale and the only thing that tasted fine was the fries. Wehad to send the cappuccino back 3 times and finally just decided to get a regular coffee? Honestly they might be having an offday but it was a terrible experience. :( Read more
There was no line and we were sat right away. The server was courteous & pleasant. The food was okay. Nice experience... nonetheless in Quebec! Read more
