Felt like I was in a great bistro in Paris for the locals.  Not touristy at all and the wild menu items were great.  A bit out of the way, but cabbie got us there fast.  Loved the foie gras poutine for a started and bison tongue.  This was great peasant food, not for snobs, so right up our alley and this also felt like a neighborhood place, not artsy-fartsy.  Sometimes you don't need fancy to enjoy a great meal.  Everyone around us seemed happy and I'm glad we followed the hotel's advice and went early.  It is a usual old city bistro in that it is small and when it gets busy, it's really cramped.  If you want space, get out of the old city and go to something new.  This isn't for you.  Everything we had was fresh and they were receiving vegatables from a farmer while we were there, nothing wrong with that - especially if you're into local and fresh.
