latebuyer Posted July 20 #1 Share Posted July 20 I’m staying in quebec city an additional day and will have time for additional meals. If anyone has recommendations please post. In particular i’m interested in tourtiere, crepes and poutine. Someone suggested sagamite, not sure if thats a good place. Also i believe they have some sort of maple sugar.

canadjineh Posted July 21 #3 Share Posted July 21 Late Sept 2023 we had a fun time and delicious food at La Buche (FWIW they even have some good gluten free choices - I have celiac disease.) It is right in Old Quebec 49 Rue Saint-Louis. Yes it's kinda touristy but that is the fun part - it is like an old sugar shack where you can sit at private tables or join in a long family-style trestle table with benches. Historic building, food, service and atmosphere are good - they have 4.5 stars out of 5 with over 5000 Google reviews and over 2100 Tripadvisor reviews. https://restolabuche.com/ Lots of neat stuff to look at on the walls and definitely head downstairs to the washrooms, they are a gas! Casual restaurant, not fancy dining... if you want a yummy fancier dining place we can suggest Restaurant Shiraz. Very tasty Persian food, great atmosphere, lovely owners in upper Vieux Quebec. https://restaurantshiraz.com/ We really enjoyed their flavourful menu.

princeton123211 Posted July 22 #4 Share Posted July 22 One of our favorites in town is Le Continental right outside the Chateau Frontenac. Its very French and the specialize in tableside as well as flambe. Tableside caesar salad, flambe steaks and seafood, dover sole, tableside chateaubriand. They do wonderful tableside flambe desserts: crepes suzette, bananas foster, cherries jubilee etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare tetleytea Posted July 23 #5 Share Posted July 23 Quite frankly, just walking the streets ISO a restaurant is part of the fun. Rue St Jean is hopping. But, Brasserie Les Mordus was my favorite in Old Quebec (and I was there 6 days and ate somewhere different every time), and it had multiple "elevated" poutines (as Gordon Ramsey likes to call it). They had outdoor seating, which made it feel European, and I had this crazy seafood poutine, that you couldn't even tell was poutine until you got to the very bottom (that's where the fries were). Brasserie Les Mordus is right around the corner from City Hall and across the street from a cathedral. We did eat breakfast at La Buche (which was fine), and I distinctly remember Aux Anciens Canadiens but did not eat there. It has that pretty red storefront. I think the prices sent me away.

latebuyer Posted July 25 Author #6 Share Posted July 25 I meant to thank people for responding. My time in quebec city is shortened as catching the train to montreal but will have time for breakfast and lunch twice. I thought i'd get tourtiere at la buche for lunch one day (i love tourtiere) and mordus for poutine the other. I'm still thinking about breakfast. I'm considering sagamite which i heard of in another post. The flambe crepes at le continental sound cool and may have to eat dessert first one day. Lots of choices!

Qcsailor Posted July 26 #7 Share Posted July 26 For breakfast (or for lunch), i strongly suggest Le Buffet de l'Antiquaire on rue St-Paul. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latebuyer Posted July 26 Author #8 Share Posted July 26 Thanks, that looks real reasonable. I hope i can fit everything in! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will be visiting Quebec two days in October, before the cruise leaves port. Can you provide an idea on pricing? I went to the website, but the menu appears to be pictures only. No description of the dishes, or cost. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qcsailor Posted July 30 #10 Share Posted July 30 Here's a link to the pdf menu including prices. It's from 2023 so the current prices may be a little higher. https://lebuffetdelantiquaire.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/menubuffetantiquaire2023.pdf Bienvenue à Québec et bon appétit! 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So is poutine a finger food or fork food? Asking for a friend 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anne76 Posted August 2 #14 Share Posted August 2 Not finger food!! Fork, and some take a spoon for the gravy/sauce... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
