Just returned from Quebec City and tried this place for lunch and for dessert. The sandwiches are big- perfect for sharing. The gelato they serve is the best in the city (in my opinion!). It just so happened the owner was in there when I was and he was very nice as well.
Owned by Yves Simard and his partner Rebecca, originally from Michigan, Wisconsin, this bakery beckons you inside with its selection of Viennese pastries and gelato. For a quick, inexpensive bite, there's soup, sandwiches, and pizza. The decor is simple and comfortable. There might be a line while the locals buy their lunch, but it's well worth the wait.
