Quebec Food Adventure | A Restaurant from 1640

📍1640 Bistro This charming restaurant is housed in a historic building dating back to 1640, right across from ChĂąteau Frontenac. During summer, they mostly accept walk-ins (reservations only for extreme weather). Arrived at 11:40 AM—breakfast service had just ended, but we got seated after a 20-25 minute wait. The menu is bilingual (English/French), and the staff speak English too. Appetizers đŸ€ Shrimp Mocktail : Fresh and refreshing! Served on a bed of avocado chunks. đŸ„— Caesar Salad with Roasted Chicken : Standard but well-made. 🐌 Baked Snails : Aromatic with no weird aftertaste. Topped with fried bread (a bit oily). đŸ§…đŸ„Ł French Onion Soup : Just okay, nothing special. Mains đŸ€ Seafood Pasta : Loaded with jumbo shrimp, mussels, and tiny shrimp on linguine. Generous portion! 🐂 Braised Beef Jowl : Huge portion—tender, 8-hour braised beef over mashed potatoes, with asparagus, carrots, and leafy broccoli (đŸ€©). 🍔 Classic Burger : Exactly what it says—ketchup, mustard, and fries with mayo. Very classic. 😂 Drinks Tried their mocktail "Recolte" (one of only two options, the other being mojito). Way too sweet—had to dilute it with water. Verdict Solid experience! Portions are huge, no major misses. The vibe matches the old-world charm—playing vintage French tunes inside. Plus, the washroom was spotless 😆. #CanadianCuisine #QuebecEats #Travel #HiddenGems #WesternFood #FoodieAdventures #HistoricEats #FoodPhotography
