Kind of basic for what it is. The menu was written down on our place mats & the decor looked straight out of a hotel. For that kind of atmosphere, I wouldn't expect the prices to be so high. The food was just ok.

I believe this was my first visit to Au Vieux Duluth, even though I lived here for some time. We went for a special occasion & it went very smoothly. I specifically loved the waiter, who was quite funny in his no nonsense approach. The food was ok, I would say that for the price though, it is excellent. You cannot really find much at this price point, notably as the serving sizes are fairly big, so bring a container to take the leftovers to go (& bring your own wine as well). The parking lot is kind of a mess though, the layout & the maintenance level. It also did not get too loud so we were able to talk easily amongst ourselves.
Food is good, depending on what you get. One big suggestion is more staff is needed especially during rush hours. Dishwasher stained drinking glasses are not good.

I go with my husband almost once a week & have tried everything on menu & everything is good, waiters do their job & one waiter in particular I like, not sure if he's the Maitre D but he's good, knows his job & always looks relaxed, years of experience...
Food was just ok, not as good as it used to be. The rice was terrible, overcooked & all stuck together. Sorry we chose this place for lunch, it won't happen again.

Le vieux duluth devait faire un grand effort pour revenir sur le plancher des restaurants les plus intéressants au Québec, le plus le temps passe le plus malheureusement on laisse faire. J'ai visité plusieurs restaurants pour maintenir mon attachement à cette cuisine qui était vraiment authentique, & qui ne l'ai plus à mon avis. Poulet pas toujours cuit à la bonne température, salade sans goût, service lent & prix à la hausse. Ce n'est pas les franchisés le problème mais le franchiseur qui n'apporte pas de nouveaux. Svp faire de quoi, c'était une très belle place & belle ambiance, jadis.
