There are six different Archibald locations in Québec: Lac-Beauport, Sainte-Foy, Aéroport de Montréal, Trois-Rivières, Blainville, and Cartier Petit Champlain (the one featured here). We returned in December 2025 for a quick snack so we got the small plate of nachos this time.

Distribution of Toppings
I see that in the first visit, we did not have a good distribution of toppings. This time around, the distribution was much better, granted it was a much smaller plate and thus, proper distribution is more easily achieved.
Quality
I always love a good triangular corn chip. In addition, there was a lot of cheese on the chips, and an excellent toast factor. There was quite a bit of sauce on the chips, but the chips did not get soggy! I am always wary of sauce because I'm afraid of the potential of a soggy chip but these were great. If you have been reading the blog, we usually get beef nachos; however, there was only a veggie option available. The jalapeños on these nachos were not very spicy, but they were tasty. I did like that there were green onions on them. The nachos came with a salsa only with no other options for dips.
Quantity
The full portion is good to share for a meal and the small portion is good to share for a snack.
Value
The full nachos were $24.50. If you order a half portion, it is $17. No need for a big paragraph with different pricing for different options - their pricing is very simple due to lack of options. I think the value is great considering we were in a touristy part of Québec City and they tasted pretty good.
Conclusion
The decor and comfy seats made us feel very cozy, despite the large size of this restaurant. The server spoke only French to us (which I loved! again!), and that gave me a warm fuzzy feeling for the whole experience. I think they did a lot of things right, and for that I think they deserve to be in the A range.
