Le Champlain
(Restaurants - European)
1, rue des Carrieres, Fairmont Le Château Frontenac, Québec  G1R 4P5 • 418-266-3905 • 418-692-3861
Distance: ~50 m *
        Description: VIEUX QUEBEC. Located in the historic Château Fontenac, this fine dining restaurant offers French and local cuisine. Traditional Continental ingredients join with local produce and game to create dishes that represent the best of two worlds. To complete the atmosphere, staff members don traditional 17th century dress. One of the most popular times to visit Le Champlain is for afternoon tea, when finger sandwiches, delectable pastries and stunning desserts are almost too much to bear. In the evening, before you dine on traditional Québec favorites, you'll most assuredly want to examine the wine list, which is among the best in the city.

Conti Caffè
(Restaurants - European)
32, rue St-Louis, Québec  G1R 3Y9 • 418-692-4191
Distance: ~129 m *
        Description: VIEUX QUEBEC. Adjacent to and sharing a kitchen with the renowned Le Continental, the Conti Caffè has a sleek, contemporary décor that complements the flavorful Italian cooking. You'll find pizzas on the menu, but the best dishes involve seafood and grilled meats. The seafood antipasto platter, a selection of superbly fresh oceanic tidbits, will leave you enamored, and veal dishes are especially well prepared. A variety of pastas are suitable for a second or main course depending on your appetite, but desserts are excellent so try to leave room for some cassata or sorbet.

Le Lapin Sauté
(Restaurants - European)
52, rue du Petit-Champlain, Québec  G1K 4H5 • 418-692-5325
Distance: ~169 m *
        Description: VIEUX QUEBEC. Located in the heart of the Quartier Petit Champlain, this lovely country-style restaurant specializes in tasty rabbit dishes (rabbit is "lapin" in French); though, gratin savoyard and rosemary chicken offer fine alternatives. If you've got something a little lighter in mind, try delicious sun-dried tomato pizza or even a warm baguette. Take note: the best time to dine here is on a warm summer afternoon, when their shaded patio provides a charming respite from the rigors of shopping.

Restaurant Parmesan
(Restaurants - European)
38, rue St-Louis, Québec  G1R 3Z2 • 418-692-0341
Distance: ~170 m *
        Description: VIEUX QUEBEC. Looking for an out-of-the-ordinary place to dine? Look no more. This homey, traditional Italian eatery provides a unique blend of home cooked foods such as salmon, pasta and veal. For a worthwhile gastronomic change of pace, why not try calves' kidneys in mustard sauce, the chef's special pepper steak flambé or even Luigi's legendary manicotti stuffed with spinach and cheese? You won't leave disappointed – or hungry. Enjoy live accordion music as musicians perform mellow French ballads. Truly a unique Québec experience!

Toast!
(Restaurants - European)
17, rue Sault-au-Matelot, Le Priori Hotel, Québec  G1K 3Y7 • 418-692-1334
Distance: ~353 m *
        Description: OLD PORT. The stylish restaurant, found in the equally stylish Le Priori Hotel, became a hit as soon as it opened its retro-sleek doors. The chef combines the best local produce in traditional Continental preparations with truly amazing results. The menu is unusual and innovative, but there's enough familiarity to appeal to a good cross section of diners. Begin with foie gras pressed with apples and port, or try the Italian-style red tuna sashimi. Follow with a main course of pan-fried veal sweetbreads, or Alberta rack of lamb with a mustard and citrus crust. Desserts are inventive: try the "spice bread reconstruction" with petite scoops of three ice creams – nutmeg, cinnamon and clove, and anise.

Il Matto
(Restaurants - European)
71, rue St.-Pierre, Québec  G1K 3Z9 • 418-266-9444
Distance: ~392 m *
        Description: VIEUX QUEBEC. This modern bistro welcomes patrons with its hip, positive vibe and a refreshing take on the homemade Italian fare owner Rocco Cortino grew up loving. Representative dishes include filet of skate with fried asparagus and penne with sausage, each of them simply approached but full of flavor and well-presented. There is also a location off Sainte-Foy, near Cité-Universitaire.

Le Saint-Amour
(Restaurants - European)
48, rue Ste-Ursule, Québec  G1R 4E3 • 418-694-0667
Distance: ~401 m *
        Description: VIEUX QUEBEC. Regarded as one of the most romantic restaurants in Québec, Le Saint-Amour is one of the finest in every respect. The restaurant and chefs have all won multiple awards over the years, and the wine list is counted among the top ten in Canada. While foie gras is the chef's specialty, he does an admirable job with game as well, in dishes such as grilled caribou steak with wild-berry and peppercorn sauce. Dishes are plated beautifully – indeed, seeing the food presentation is half the fun of dining here.
