Description:
VIEUX QUEBEC. You'll not only enjoy a tasty treat at Café de la Terrace, but you'll also delight in a beautiful view of the Saint-Lawrence while you dine. The lunch buffet, very reasonably priced, features the culinary magic of Chef Jean Soulard, whose dishes are inspired by traditional Québec favorites. The buffet is available until 2:00 and is a super idea if you've been traveling all day. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

The pub also offers live jazz. |

Description:
VIEUX QUEBEC. This restaurant has gained a reputation as one of the most polished in Lower Town. Butcher's paper serves as a covering on outside tables, and the food offerings range from grilled meat to fish to seafood stews. The chic décor consists of reds and yellows, with the odd piece of modern art sprinkled here and there. L'Échaudé attracts a mix of business people, tourists and local patrons. There's also a bright, mirrored dining area outfitted with a stainless-steel bar. For lunch, you'll want to sample their special: cuisse de canard confit with frites and salad. |

Description:
VIEUX QUEBEC. This smart Old Québec eatery has successfully fashioned itself after a Parisian bistro-café. A lovely front facade is marked by a large window that's thrown open when it's nice out; waiters attired in stiff bow ties and knee-length aprons stand ready to serve. The well-lit dining area features checkered tiles and intimate, café-style tables – few places provide a better setting for a business lunch. Menu specialties include French onion soup and garlic snails, mussels and fries, duck confit, and the immensely popular "Couscous Royal," a dish that looks too good to eat – at least until you sample it. Take a few moments to peruse the wine and international beer lists, both impressive. |
