The restaurant is only over 60 years old but in a building that is over 300 years old. The atmosphere is so warm and comfy with the service being exceptional. If you are a tourist in Quebec and want to try some of the local dishes, this is a place I recommend without breaking the bank and being authentic and flavourful at the same time. My kids enjoyed the meals by the fireplace and will always be a great memory for us visiting Quebec.

Ambiance is good, service is slow. But most importantly, food was really not good. I ordered the specialty dish of 3 different tenderloins, 1 was good the other 2 were bad. Also the side vegetables are below averageMy wife took chicken breast (cordon bleu), that tasted like frozen nuggets reheated, again with the sauce and veggies being below averageWine is good. We took white wineAll in all not worth the experience

We went here on out trip recently because the reviews were very good. We made a reservation for 5:30 pm. We were seated shortly after and the service was good.The restaurant vibe was interesting. The decor didn't seem on par with an upscale restaurant.We decided to get an appetizer which was crab cakes. They were good but the price was a bit steep at $22.00 for 2 cakes. I ordered the filet mignon for my dinner. The steak itself was incredible but the sides were just okay. The fries were kind of mushy and not crispy. It was also a huge portion of fries. My husband got the 3 filet dish which had red deer, bison, and elk. He really liked the meat but again sides were just okay. You expect a bit more at nearly $60/per plate.We then finished off with a dessert - chocolate pie and bread pudding. Both pretty good but again the price was a bit steep. I think each were about 16 dollars. So all in all, it was good but for the prices? No. I wouldn't recommend and I wouldn't go back. The dinners we had on previous nights were much better and worth the higher price.

simply incredible, I think the buffalo bourguignon is the best dish I have eaten in my life. What sauce!!! Many thanks, it was great. The lunch menu is perfect, it’s the place to go to eat well in Quebec and eat Quebecois!

Heerlijk eten met goede wijnen. Vriendelijk personeel. De trio van red deer, bizon en Elk was een waar feest. Met twee personen deelden wij een schotel medium-rare en een schotel medium gebakken vlees, waaruit significante verschillen in smaak en textuur nog duidelijker werden. Hierbij dronken we een Canadese pinot noir en een Bordeaux wijn. De ijswijn uit Ontario was een perfecte afsluiter.

If you are looking for a dinner that can give you a wide taste of local foods, this is a wonderful choice. We were looking for a place to eat at 4 after missing lunch. The restaurant we were considering was closed until 5, so we continued down the road and found that Aux Anciens Canadiens was not only open but still had the lunch prix fixe prices. It is possible the dinners are larger, but the lunch was more than enough for us. We shared our meals with each other and were able to try pea soup, smoked bison fondue, meat pie, meat ball ragout, and deer, bison and elk tenderloin with a lovely blueberry sauce. For desert, we had maple syrup pie and maple bread pudding.Everything was very good and we felt like we had the perfect culinary review of classic Quebecoise foods. We could have chosen the poutine, but we were concerned that we were not going to make it to desert and since the woman behind us was telling her friend that this place had the best maple syrup pie, we didn't want to risk it.
