Maelstrøm Saint-Roch

Elegant and cute restaurant. The staff is friendly and efficient. The food is unique and exceptional. We tried the muhammara and the oeufs a la turque, and I'd recommend to try these. Coffee is also great.

We came for breakfast as this restaurant was reccomend by my wife's sister. The vibe is chill, service was attentive, beverages were well crafted, and the food is artesanal. I must admit I did not like my dish or the other dishes on the menu. I do not like goat cheese, yogurt, vinegar, etc sour flavors in my breakfast dishes. My wife and family enjoyed their dishes though. The waffles i tried of a family member were good, but could use some protein on the side in my opinion. The menu is very small and not a lot to select from. Check out the menu before you go and If the flavors are in your pallet I would reccomend it.

A beautiful brunch place in the heart of the city. Looking at their menu you might think that it's concise, however each one of their choices is heavenly. The food is exceedingly delicious, their coffee is good and the atmosphere is cozy and comfortable. The staff is pleasant and courteous. A must if you're in the area.

This was honestly one of the worst café experiences I’ve had in Quebec City in a very long time.nnWe stopped in this morning for a hot chocolate and a latte. The hot chocolate wasn’t hot at all it was basically cold chocolate. The latte was barely drinkable. Both drinks were completely bland.nnWe also ordered a waffle with ricotta, honey, jam, and grapes. It was awful. The waffle tasted frozen, wasn’t crispy at all, and had a dense, doughy texture with no flavor. My wife barely touched it.nnThe server clearly noticed that the waffle was left almost untouched but never asked if everything was okay or tried to fix the situation. There was no follow-up, no attention to detail, and no real sense of care.nnI ordered a yogurt. It’s hard to mess up a yogurt, yet somehow it was still disappointing.nnI’ll say this: the place itself looks cute, the décor is festive and very Christmassy. But at the end of the day, décor doesn’t make up for poor food and bad drinks. They should invest far more in food quality and much more thoughtful, attentive service.nnOverall, extremely disappointing. I won’t be coming back.

Loved the vibe, service and food. The toast with ham egg was just amazing. Also service was fast. Will be back!
