Great, fresh food. Place was small but quite intimate and service was great. Waiter was attentive even though she was by herself doing everything.

When we first arrived, we walked past the restaurant, looked at the menu, and said that this was a possible choice one night. At breakfast, we talked to a couple, one being celiac, that had eaten here and our decision was made. My wife is celiac so she has to be very careful. We in fact ate here two nights... plus

We had a wonderful dinner at Bistro Du cap on our visit to Quebec City. I had a great lamb shank and my wife truly enjoyed the special fish of the evening. While our food was itself superb, the intimate, friendly atmosphere made this a great dining event. Such nice people that made one feel like a guest in their... plus

After a morning of gallery hopping in the old city the rains moved in and we serendipitously found ourselves standing in front of Cafe Bistro du Cap reading the enthusiastic New York Times review that was posted in the window. We went in and were fortunate to be seated at the only open table. The space is tiny but is... plus

We were visiting the beautiful city of Quebec on a cruise. We had to try some local cuisine other than fast food. We hit on Cafe Bistro Du Cap and how fortunate was this. My wife and I enjoyed a most pleasant 2 hours in the restaurant and had a meal to compare with any we have had anywhere. The... plus

Very small room with tables so close it limits personal conversations but food was top rate and overall noise level was not a problem.

Coming off a cruise ship we wanted an authentic simple French meal and we could not have been more pleased. This tiny spot has excellent food, great French wine selections and friendly service.

My husband, one year old daughter, and I sat outside this great little bistro for a perfect lunch on a perfect fall day. We had the most amazing soup and sandwich. We tried to go back for dinner but the restaurant was basically full and there wasn't room for a high chair or our stroller.

This is a great eating establishment if you like exceptional food and service in a more casual atmosphere. The room is cosy with all the ambience of the Old Port. The menu is small and our meals were delicious. We were guided to a terrific wine and were not rushed. I would travel to Quebec City again just for the... plus

After a long day of walking all over Quebec City, we stopped at Bistro du Cap for a quick dinner. The restaurant is towards the end of an old cobblestone street, near several boutique hotels, including le Priori (see review). There may be 10-12 tables in all, plus a small bar. We shared a crab cake (app), the rabbit stuffed... plus

This is a gem of a find. It is a small place but very nice. The dinner I had still has me wishing I could get back for more. I had beef cheeks prepared bourguignon style...just awesome. My wife had beef shepherd pie and she loved it.
For desert we had profiteroles freshly prepared...wonderful. The cafe is located in lower... plus

My wife scouted this restaurant during a walk in Old Quebec. It is a small restaurant with a simple, unassuming decor in a great location in the Le Vieux Port area of Quebec City. The restaurant features a small menu: 4 or 5 appetizers, 4 to 6 mains that change frequently. In short the food is superb. This is a... plus

This charming little bistro was just around the corner from our hotel so we picked it because we were tired and wanted to dine some place close. After eating there, I would have gladly walked a mile to get to it! Delicious food; reasonable prices!

Just what we were looking for on our last night in Quebec City: excellent food with attentive service in an unpretentious setting. We sat on the terrace and watched the tourists wander by.
The Bistro du Cap is a small husband/wife operation. Madame manages the front of the house; Monsieur handles duties in the kitchen. We had baked cod and... plus

One of the best food experiences I ever had.
Was 9 of us and we tried every dish.
it really spoiled our trip because food everywhere else wasn't as good.

My husband and I were looking for an intimate restaurant to celebrate our 25th anniversary. We found this restaurant quite by chance and had the most fabulous experience from the moment we walked through the door. The Hostess was charming (actually quite a character) and spoke to us in English with ease and pleasure. The Bistro is very small which... plus

This bistro is postcard adorable. However, we found the waitstaff to go out of their way to be incredibly rude, and we are not fragile travelers in the least. Skip this bistro and go to one of the many others that offer equal charm plus kind and attentive employees.

Finally a real Chef in Quebec..best Bouillabaisse ever!!
Fourth year in a row..no change in food quality and service..a must when in Quebec City.

Everything about Cafe Bistro du Cap is small - the restaurant, the menu, the number of staff (we counted 4 including the cooks). Every dish we ordered was excellent - bouillabaisse, beef cheeks bourgignon, steak, veal ravioli. The wine list is unfortunately too limited and doesn't live up to the food, but the service was very pleasant, and we enjoyed... plus

My sister and I recently spend three days in Quebec City. We were looking for somewhere to dine late Monday afternoon August 18th and decided to choose amongst the restaurants on this street. We stopped to read the menu at this restaurant first and continued down the street. Undecided, we retraced our steps and saw a lady placing a sidewalk... plus

You can tell the owners take pride in their place and their food. Simple, small menu, but expertly prepared and delivered efficiently without being rushed. Tight space, but great atmosphere.

Well we enter tonight and i asked them to see menu. After second time guy told us its not macdonald and started to scream us. Never we was impolite. He also asked me if we got a problem and: tu me casses les couiles. Therefore went out and go to another restaurant. Thats is sad,food seem good. Will never go... plus

Don't let the small size fool you - the service and food are extra special! The owner is a lovely lady and the the food (which her husband cooks) is phenomenal! The wine selections were plenty and everything we ordered tasted fantastic.

Had a great salmon tartare and also beef carpaccio. Both were very tasty and the place was adorable with outdoor tables.

Stay away from this place, The service is horrible I stayed there for 40 minutes before they come to give me the menu then another 40 minutes before I can order. Really Rude owner and servers. It is not a clean place. There are many other places with much better food and friendly service Quebec City that you don't have... plus

We were a bit disappointed showing up at this restaurant and finding it closed. Phoned ahead of time but no one answered and there was no special message to indicate that it was closed. Maybe next time... :(

Although the crepes were a bit overdone, they were still excellent. They offer a great choice and their sidewalk terrace is a great place to enjoy the old area. If you like crepes, this is a great place to savour the many offerings. We would return.

This truly lovely little bistro is run by husband (chef) and wife (server). Very charming decor inside. We sat outside. We had a cup of the cucumber soup, which was very creamy and garnished with bits of fried chorizo sausage (excellent), and pan seared fresh cod served with a beurre blanc sauce and chorizo bits and with the most perfect... plus

We walked to this charming and unassuming bistro on the recommendation of our hotel which was nearby. It was truly a fun and local experience without being too busy or touristy. The food was prepared in an old-fashioned manner and we lazily munched on French bread and rich butter as we waited. The menu is limited and the ambiance feels... plus

Went with friends who are frequent visitors to Quebec but never managed to find this tiny bistro open.
The restaurant is tiny with just a few tables. The menu is small but with a nice selection of bistro classics.
In general the food was fine - nothing special but perfectly acceptable.
Biggest surprise was the bill. This is pretty standard... plus

The food was lovely, the service was wonderful, and the outside seating was cozy and situated on a quasi-pedestrian street in Old Town. It was a perfect way to start our visit! Between the four of us we had beef carpaccio, crab cakes, bouillabaisse, veal ravioli with mushrooms, the fish of the day, chocolate mousse, and profiteroles. None of the... plus

Finely prepared food; small but delicious menu. Our party of four tried several different things: salmon ceviche, local cheeses, beef cheeks, fish, chicken…everything was delicious. Located in a charming and lively area of the old city.

Extremely clean and crepes were lovely. Quick service by friendly staff. Only crepes served on Saturdays so your choice is limited if not everyone wishing to have a crepe

We went here on a Saturday night around 7:00 and didn't have a reservation (the place we stayed didn't have a landline phone to make one), so I was worried - but thankfully for us the big crowd seemed to be in the upper city that evening. The lower city was quite quiet and we were able to snag a... plus

Lovely location for this great restaurant.food was wonderful cooked and served by the owners who were great. We went back twice on our holiday.

We ordered fish of the day and beef cheeks bourguignon. Both plates were very delicious and flavourful. The servers are very friendly and nice and the atmosphere is cozy and warm. If you want to have a great food I highly recommend this place.

We had the escargot, wild mushroom and veal ravioli, bouillabaisse, and creme brulee. All excellent. The outside cafe seating is comfortable and is in good spot near foot traffic but away from the street. My favorite place to eat in old Quebec City. I added some photos.

We had a fine meal at this mom and pop bistro. I had the chowder fish stew, which was actually much better than I expected from the name. My wife had the duck, which was succulent and delicious. Very pleasant dining and well situated near the museum of civilization and the old port.

We followed other reviewers recommendations and went for dinner 6/20/14 and were not disappointed. A very cozy atmosphere, delightful service, and gourmet French food.

Had nice table outside and ordered the crème of asparagus soup and Duck Confit which came with mashed potatoes and sautéed cabbage. All was excellent. My husband ordered the flank steak which was just average. Had perfiteroles with ice cream and chocolate sauce for dessert, also excellent. My husband had Crème Brulee, which was a little watery. Wine was a... plus

Small but well selected menu. Available table de hote for $29. Very friendly staff. Service unhurried but not too slow. Wonderful place for dinner

My girlfriend and I ate hear in early June and it was fantastic. This bistro is situated on a beautiful and quiet street. It's just nice to enjoy a great meal and people watch. The staff is extremely friendly and explain the menu in great detail in both French and English. The food has genuine French feel, as it is... plus

We dined here in early June 2014 and it was easily one of the best meals of our stay. We enjoyed this restaurant for the simplicity of its menu, the attentiveness of the staff, the lovely atmosphere and the quality of the food. Because it was a weekday evening only a handful of other tables were occupied; I imagine reservations... plus

wonderful lunch bistro

bathed in sunlight on cobblestones, we enjoyed lunch - delightful salads. Our waitress was dear, the 1/2 carafe of wine perfect. On a small street near lovely shops featuring good design and art.

Absolutely fabulous. Lunch was so good we went back for dinner

On what was our last of six days in Quebec, we discovered this restaurant in Basse-Ville. There is surprisingly little French food or seafod in Quebec City except for this extraordinarily expensive restaurants. Bistro du Cap is not cheap but very reasonably priced for the quality of the food. My husband thought that his grilled cod was the best fish... plus

Intimate dining

This is really intimate dining: a small room and tables close together. We had a lot of fun on our one dinner there, having lively conversations with the occupants of the tables on each side of us. It's in the Basse Ville of Quebec and an excellent choice if you're staying in that area. The food and service were both... plus

Exceptional food with charming proprietors

Where do I start? Yes, the restaurant is small inside (but with proportionate seating), but that is only one of the aspects that creates its irrefutable charm. To that, add an absolutely delightful server and chef whose dual attentiveness leaves you feeling a kind of warmth that can only be accomplished in a place of its size and by people... plus

Cozy dining with excellent food

My husband saw this on a morning walk, and was impressed with the ambiance and menu. When we made it to dinner, we were equally impressed with the good food and pleasant staff. A cream of vegetable soup, salmon and beef entrees, and dessert, filled us up with a marvelously pleasing effect of having been pampered and well-fed. The cafe... plus

Disappointed

This restaurant was recommended to is by friends. The restaurant is small and has a minutes du jour as well as quite a few choices a la carte. All our dishes were god but we felt it was over priced for an average cuisine. My fish was fresh but just pan fried served with mashed potatoes as was my partner's... plus

Surprisingly good

Ordered a sea food chauder and it was perfect, together with the proposed white italian wine, it just matched perfectly!

Food gets a 3, the service gets a 5. Portions are skimpy for the price. We left a bit hungry, even with the prixe fix. The women working here are very kind.

We both had the prix fixe. Wine was good.

Appetizers:
Salmon Pate: Not bad, nothing special, just fresh

Goat Cheese tart: Not bad but would not have been worth it as an appetizer

Main dishes:

(New England) Fish Stew: Not sure why they... plus

This was by far my favourite place in Qubec city! Every aspect from start to finish was nothin short of perfect. Wonderful owners, charming decor and delicious food make it the trifecta of bistros. Beautiful location.

Great food! Loved the atmosphere!

Mobile review

Very good not great. Personal wait staff that made you feel like regulars.

Ok, so this is really just a four star for food, but it's such a warm, intimate and genuine place that we think it's a best bet if you are in the neighborhood. The people couldn't be nicer. We went with a party of 8 and they took great care of us. Some of the dishes... Lamb shank, bison ravioli w mushrooms and soups were excellent. The duck was only so so. Desserts were excellent. It's also... plus

Small, unpretentious cafe. Service was extremely friendly, and the food was fresh, well-prepared and delicious. A very pleasant place for lunch.

Quaint resto owned by a husband-wife duo. Was there for dinner. Simple yet delicious meals. The daily soup, cream of vegetables, was a warm comfort in a cup. The fried yellow perch was perfectly seasoned and melts in your mouth. Dessert of Creme Brule could had been sweeter. Overall, great service, food and value.

we went to this restaurant after reading the reviews on yelp. we dined at six on a thursday and the place was empty. a few other diners braved the rain, but mostly we had the place to ourselves. the decor is very nice, the colors light and bright. the green salad had a wonderful tarragon vinegrette. i had the buffalow raviolis with the wild mushroom cream sauce. yum! my companion had the... plus

Five stars for old town quebec dining - especially relative to a lot of the other options around this part of town. Just far enough off the main drag to feel quaint but still an easy walk from most anywhere.

Went here on a Friday night after too many lunches/dinners of the same ol French onion soup and steak frites and were delightfully surprised. The menu was short but had great options for... plus

It was bound to happen. You cannot be in any major city for 6 days and not have one terrible experience. Well this was ours.

If you are looking for a place run by Satanic Gypsies then this is your Bistro The place looked inviting (for a second or third choice) as Toast and Panache were booked and both are excellent.

We left our son's stroller outside and entered an empty dining room (as... plus

Stopped in for a late breakfast. Both of us had different crepes with smoked salmon and they were very tasty. We ate outside but did go inside to see and thought it was lovely.

The service was a little dodgy but, the food was marvelous. The braised lamb shank was delicious!

Fun, small and intimate

Bubblicious

Cafe Bistro du Cap is a very pleasant place for a meal or a quick snack. Service was extremely friendly and I love... plus

Amazing.

We slipped into two of the last seats at the bar for dinner service after finding our first choice restaurant completely full. This was a happy thing.

From the beginning service was wonderful, (even though I rudely answered the french questions in English, I'm sorry! Date's an american and likes to know what's going on). Pleasant, attentive, and fun.

The food was french country with... plus

Question: "What does Heaven taste like?"

Answer: the goat cheese and asparagus savory crepe from Cafe Bistro Du Cap!

Even if you don't like goat cheese or Asparagus or crepes even, your whining annoying friend who complained the WHOLE way up to Canada will shut up, smile and say: "Oh YEEEAAAHH!!!!... What's this called again Claude?"

Seriously, I speak with some authority here since the 4... plus

Everything was brilliant.

Food: I went for it - and have nothing but delight about ordering the salad with chicken liver grilled in balsamic vinegar. The cream of asparagus soup was a wonderful start. My only regret, sharing my pear and chocolate crepe with my husband....

Service - warm, friendly and funny.

Mobile review

Excellent food and especially their creme brûlée!! Friendly service but I think is a tag pricy.

Really 2 1/2.

Attentive service and so-so food. Shepherds pie light on vegetables, crepe was too heavy until partially unwrapped and excess tossed aside and then OK (chicken filling included gristle), cream of vegetable soup was excellent. Really 2 1/2 stars.

Absolutely perfect. We were surprised to find such a hidden gem. I think it's a mom and pop shop. We were a bit hesitant at first, since we were the only customers there around 1pm but we decided to trust the reviews from yelp and tripadvisor and give this place a try anyway. Thank god we did.

The crepes were extraordinary. One of the members in our party said the he's "never had anything like... plus

This was my favorite meal in Quebec. The space is small, simply decorated, inviting, and cozy. Its off the main tourist drag on a quite street which was great. The staff, including the owner, was very friendly and attentive.
We had the Beef Carpaccio, Buffalo Ravioli, Leg of Lamb, and Coffee Creme Brulee--Everything was fantastic!!! The flavors were wonderful and the everything was perfectly... plus

This is a true find in what can be a city bustling with tourists. The food was perfectly prepared and beautifully served. A quiet respite for replenishment.
