Bistro 1640 is a restaurant located in a 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.

Building

The restaurant is located on the ground floor of the Auberge Place d'Armes, which was built for Guillaume Couillard, one of the first French settlers, in 1620. The building is divided into two sections: a French side and an English side. 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.
The upper two floors consist of the rooms of the Auberge du Trésor hotel.
