“how do we review perfection?”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

As of today, there are 79 5-star reviews of this wondrous B&B, and zero of less than five stars. There are good reasons for this amazing track record. As others have posted, Clément is truly one of a kind, someone who'd give you the shirt off his back and then go buy another shirt to offer someone else. Also one of a kind is his gîte, a beautiful, lovingly and painstakingly restored townhouse on a safe and inviting street that is convenient to so many wonderful parts of the city and that has a wonderful European feel to it. Listening to him describe his restoration and explain the building's history was fascinating and added so much to our experience, and we have also learned so much from his exceptional knowledge of the city and Québecois culture and tradition. His lovely wife Nathalie (we hope we spelled her name right...) prefers to remain behind the scenes, but her culinary creations are truly a wonder to experience, in either the elegant Victorian dining room or the sweet private sunroom. Gorgeous classical music streams through the main floor (though the TV remote is kept handy for those who need their HNIC), the bedrooms upstairs are beautifully decorated and very European (which also means small by American standards -- but we don't go to Québec for American experiences), and the épicerie downstairs is addicting ... and if that weren't enough, there's a wonderful chocolate shop right across the street. We love Québec City and have turned visiting there into an annual tradition; and as long as Clément is there to welcome us along with his other guests, that tradition will include a visit to J.A. Moisan. We can't imagine Canada without it.

“Simply the best”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 December 2011
2
people found this review helpful

You will not find a better bed and breakfast place any where. Simply the best in every way. Clement is an absolute gem of a human being who delights with stories, information and then there are the breakfasts!!!! They are small masterpieces cooked with the fine ingredients from downstairs. It is almost worth the cost of an airfare from New Zealand to Quebec just for the croissant or the fresh smoothie. Brilliantly situated, Clement tells you how to approach the city and then explains the history and politics behind it all. On our last day we had a very early flight and he was up at 5.30 man handling our luggage downstairs, kissing and waving us off. I hope I live long enough to make it back.

Furnishing and decoration of our room and the living room was exceptional. Our host Mr. Clemente shared a lot of information about Quebec and the history of Canada and always had good recomendations where to go and to eat and....
We can recommend this place without any reservation for a stay in Quebec City.

“Extraordinary hospitality!”

Submitted by Romeo Mannarino, NYC

My wife and I stayed at Auberge J.A. Moisan on a recent trip to Quebec. Everything about this bed and breakfast was superb. The owner, Clement Saint-Laurent is a man of exceptional gentility and kindness. When we arrived, he spent a half hour just advising us on what to see, how to get to various places, and where to dine. The breakfasts, prepared by his wife, are first rate and change from day to day. Clement was always at our disposal during our stay. As an example of how he goes beyond the usual, I was having a problem with one of my car's tires losing air. I tried two service stations but they refused to help me. When I mentioned this to Clement, he contacted his own mechanic and got him to repair my tire before my departure, giving me peace of mind for my return drive to New York.
Guests are permitted the run of the house--living room, TV room, etc. Clement even made it possible for me to use each of two easily accessible computers. Yes, a most positive experience indeed!

“The best of places!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 October 2011

JA Moisan is situated a short distance outside the ‘City Wall’ but is very central. Adjacent the accommodation is the [famous] JA Moisan Grocery Store / café. We often ate and shopped there. It is ideal if you only want a light meal although having said that, there is so much variety that it is hard to choose what not to eat. We also liked the restaurant / bar ‘La Hobbit’ which is almost directly opposite. So, not very far to travel at the end of the day.

We visited between 22 and 25 June 2011 (3 nights). Our first 2 nights were spent in ‘Ludovine’ and the final night in ‘Amelia’. Although Ludovine was our first choice, we preferred Amelia given it has a larger bathroom (although slightly smaller bedroom).
We have stayed in numerous B&B’s throughout Canada / North America; all of which have been of a high standard. A common feature is both the quality of accommodation and friendliness of the proprietors. JA Moisan is in a class of its own; largely on account of Clément, the owner. Throughout our stay, he proved to be a most charming and attentive host. Shortly after arrival, Clément took considerable care to point out the various highlights of Quebec City together with some of the nitty-gritty stuff, such as the ‘electric buses’. It was apparent that he treated all of his guests very well and was always on hand to assist with sightseeing queries. The guest bedrooms are a little compact but this is compensated for by the many other guest areas on the first floor; all of which are appointed to the highest (authentic) standard. Clément is a very pleasant and interesting person, and we found his demeanour invigorating. So much so that we were genuinely sad to leave. If / when we return to Quebec City, we would not consider anywhere else to stay.

If arriving by car you can park right outside the accommodation as it is a loading / unloading area. When you are ready Clément will take your car and secure it in an underground car park where he has [free] reserved spaces. This is very useful as we didn’t need to use the car while in the City.
