10Best Brunch
Le Champlain
(Restaurants - Brunch)
1, rue des Carrieres Fairmont Le Château Frontenac, Québec  G1R 4P5 • 418-266-3905
Distance: ~104 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.

Toast!
(Restaurants - Brunch)
17, rue Sault-au-Matelot Le Priori Hotel, Québec  G1K 3Y7 • 418-692-1334
Distance: ~207 m *
        Description: VIEUX QUEBEC. 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.

Le Lapin Sauté
(Restaurants - Brunch)
52, rue du Petit-Champlain, Québec  G1K 4H4 • 418-692-5325
Distance: ~221 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.

L'Échaudé
(Restaurants - Brunch)
73, rue Sault-au-Matelot, Québec  G1K 3Y9 • 418-692-1299
Distance: ~313 m *
        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 frites and salad.

L'Ardoise
(Restaurants - Brunch)
71, rue St-Paul, Québec  G1K 3V8 • 418-694-0213
Distance: ~342 m *
        Description: VIEUX QUEBEC. A casual French café if ever there was one, L'Ardoise has all the trappings you'd associate with a similar place in Paris: cushy banquettes, sidewalk tables, and Edith Piaf warbling in the background. Moules and frites (mussels and fries) is the favorite here. Choose your mussels with any of about a dozen different sauces, from bleu cheese, to white wine and cream. With a fresh salad, it's a meal fit for a king. Not a seafood fan? Try the boudin or a steak, with frites, of course. The notable wine list includes good French, Argentinean and Australian bottles. Good Sunday brunch, too!

Café du Monde
(Restaurants - Brunch)
84, rue Dalhousie at the Cruise Liner Terminal, Québec  G1K 4B2 • 418-692-4455
Distance: ~347 m *
        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.

Largo Resto-Club
(Restaurants - Brunch)
643, rue Saint-Joseph Est, Québec  G1K 3C1 • 418-529-3111
Distance: ~1.251 km *
        Description: Saint-Roch has become quite trendy over the past few years, with plenty of cool restaurants, cafes and bars to accommodate the local population. At Largo, the sunny contemporary décor and food recall the Mediterranean, a welcome destination in the depths of a cold Québec evening. Bright pasta dishes and salads, along with fresh fish and seafood, make up the bulk of the menu, although there are also a couple of steaks and veal as well. Some desserts are house made, and some come from the nearby De Blanchet Patisserie. Thursday through Saturday evenings the restaurant features live jazz.

Café du Clocher Penché
(Restaurants - Brunch)
203 rue St-Joseph est, Québec  G1K 3B1 • 418-640-0597
Distance: ~1.687 km *
        Description: SAINT-ROCH. A lively Saint Roch café that's quite popular with local residents who appreciate the simple, well prepared food, relaxed ambience and affordable prices. French Country French cooking is generally on the menu, which usually includes local meats, game and fish. Ideal for a quick and tasty lunch, the friendly staff will get you in and out in a hurry without sacrificing service or quality. Dinner tends to be quite crowded so arrive early!

Montego Resto Club
(Restaurants - Brunch)
1460, ave Maguire, Sillery  G1T 1Z4 • 418-688-7991
Distance: ~5.029 km *
        Description: SAINTE-FOY / SILLERY. Located across the river in Sillery, this lively restaurant serves a variety of "feel-good" dishes hailing from places like California, Italy, France and China. The Southwestern décor and rainbow lighting may seem out of place in Québec, but locals like it just fine. Serving up everything from steak with avocado and peppers to tuna carpaccio to Cajun-style crawfish and linguine with scallops, Montego's menu is nothing if not multi-cultural. In the warmer seasons, al fresco dining is available. If you get the chance, take the ferry over and give their Sunday brunch a go – if anything just for the omelets!

Manoir Montmorency
(Restaurants - Brunch)
2490, av Royale, Montmorency  G1C 1S1 • 418-663-3330
Distance: ~9.269 km *
        Description: BEAUPORT. The views are a big part of what draws hungry folks to Manoir Montmorency on Sunday mornings, but the food is equally as impressive. Buffet tables are laden with every conceivable breakfast bread and pastry, potatoes, egg dishes, meats, waffles and pancakes, plus an assortment of lunch-type dishes such as soups, pâtes, smoked salmon, cheeses, fresh fruits and vegetables, and several cakes, pies and desserts. If possible, sit on the terrace, where the views of the falls are even more stunning. From May to October, Manoir Montmorency opens up the Grill-Terrasse, a casual spot for grilled meats, game and fish.
