Frommer's

"Québec's favorite dessert reaches its apogee at Aux Anciens Canadiens, 34 rue St-Louis. Think smooth maple sugar with a crust, at the ideal end of a traditional meal."

Bill Pennington

"The maple sugar pie with fresh cream should not be missed."

Adam Leith Gollner

"Authentic or not, the pheasant legs with baked fèves-au-lard and the incredibly sweet maple-syrup pie taste delicious."

The Australian

Patricia Rain

"It was delicious! Warm and sweet. While it may sound like whipped cream would be overkill, it’s necessary as it cuts the sweetness some, while adding a nice creaminess. I converted."

Michele Laufik

"The latter, a staple of Québécois and French-Canadian cuisine, typically consists of a filling made of eggs, vanilla, brown sugar, maple syrup, and walnuts. Québec City eatery Aux Anciens Canadiens, located in the Petit Champlain neighborhood, is considered one of the best spots for a sugar rush."
