In town for the night, we stopped in here for breakfast.  The bagels were great and the coffee was good too.  We just sat and listened to all the other patrons.  I think we were the only non-locals in the place, so we got to hear all the local…More »

This is one of my new all time favorite places to go.  Too bad I live hundreds of miles away from it.  At least I got to go twice during my weekend in Quebec.  

Reception in my hotel recommended it as nice place to go for a good selection of beer,…More »

This adorable place has a giant fireplace when you walk in and apparently used to be the storage room of the wife of one of the wealthy merchants in the early days of the city.  She used to keep her furs and china in there.  I think I read this on…More »

It was one of the weekends of the winter carnival and we didn't have a reservation for Saturday night.  We were lucky and got the last available table.  The waitress was very nice, but said we cold only take the table if we were finished by 8pm.…More »

We stopped in for a drink in the big round room that is a bar.  The coffees were good and warm after walking around the city, but even though my husband and I are in our mid-thirties we were like the kids in the room.  It just seemed like a place…More »

I had putin a few times before when up in Ottawa, and I remembered that it was good.  I mean, how can you not like fries with cheese and gravy, right?  So, we came, we saw, we ate.  And it was pretty good.  I'd say it was nothing to write home…More »

We came for a visit to Quebec City in February and it was COLD.  According to locals it was warmer than usual for the time of year, but it was still way below freezing and we therefore HAD to frequently stop into bars and restaurants to warm up.…More »

It just so happened that the Superbowl was going on while we walked in.  Lucky us they had Budweiser 2 for $5.  Visiting from Boston, this wasn't exactly what we had in mind - but it was cute.  On one side they had the game going on and on the other…More »

If you are spending a day or more visiting Quebec City, you should come to these falls.  They are JUST outside the city and are beautiful.  I went in February on a Monday and everything was closed, but like everywhere else in the winter in Quebec,…More »

On an island where everything was closed in February, we saw the owner walking his dogs and he offered to open up his shop for us.  We had a full sampling of all the ciders and tried the onion and maple preserves.  They also had jams and jellies and…More »

We read that Orleans was a cute little island - and it totally was, but virtually everything on the island was closed.  It was the middle of February after all!

We saw a sign on the highway for a winery, so we followed the sign.  We were there in few minutes.  The place is funny - it's got this whole medieval theme and a function room.  It's slightly tacky, but it's really cute.  I didn't have high hopes for…More »

This is a lovely abbey on the shores of the lake.  It was one of the many stops we made on our trip home to Boston from Quebec.  We spent all day stopping in at fromageries, cideries and other gastronomical venues.

It's a little out of the way, but…More »
