Bistro 1640
Bistro 1640 is a restaurant located in an historic 17th-century building in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada. Situated on Rue Saint-Anne, it is located across Place d'Armes from the Château Frontenac.[1]
Building
The restaurant is located on the ground floor of the Auberge Place d'Armes, which was built for Guillaume Couillard [fr], one of the first French settlers, in 1620. The building is divided into two sections: a French side (built by Martin Boutet and adjacent to Rue du Trésor) and an English side (built in 1853 to a design by Edward Stavely). The French style is visible in century-old stones and exposed beams, while the English style, which was inspired by George Richard Renfrew, contains brick and woodwork.[2]
The upper two floors consist of the rooms of the Auberge du Trésor hotel.[3]
