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. |

Description:
VIEUX QUEBEC. The action at Cosmos starts early every day, with excellent breakfasts drawing crowds of early morning risers and still-up-from-the-night-before partiers. And it's no wonder – the menu has over 40 options, from pancakes and omelettes to fruit and yogurt. Throughout the day, food is of the "comfort" variety: pizza, burgers and yummy homestyle desserts. The somewhat dorky (yet charming!) sci-fi décor seems more appropriate once the sun goes down – the vibe gets noticeably funkier, attracting a bevy of college students and young professionals who celebrate into the wee hours. |

Description:
VIEUX QUEBEC. Located in Québec's historic train station, Charbon stands out because most locals justifiably consider it among Québec City's elite steakhouses. A favorite of area business-types and politicians, this classy steak house specializes in preparing meat using traditional Canadian methods – that is, cooked on maple charcoal, thus giving it a distinctive flavor. House specialties include fish filets, seafood and, of course, North American beef. |

Description:
VIEUX QUEBEC. When you get a craving for red meat, this is the place to go. The à la carte menu is brief – mostly salads and sandwiches. But virtually everyone opts for the fabulous table d'hôte: a five- to nine-ounce sirloin steak with mustard gravy, fries, soup and salad, and chocolate profiteroles for dessert. Dine al fresco in the lovely courtyard, but arrive early since it fills up fast in warm weather. |

Chez Ashton |

|

Description:
SAINT-JEAN BAPTISTE. Knowing locals have been coming to Chez Ashton for years, for what may be the best poutine in town. For the uninitiated, poutine is a peculiarly Québec invention that tops a heap of fries with fresh cheese curds and brown gravy – it's the food of famished teenagers and hangover-nursing twenty-somethings, but people outside this demographic have been known to drive across town for their favorite version. It's a definite must-try. Chez Ashton also serves up some great burgers and sandwiches if poutine just won't cut it for you! |

Description:
SAINT-ROCH. Versa's urban ambience appeals to Québec's stylish young professionals, who gather in the bar to sip designer martinis and slurp down fresh Canadian oysters before moving on to the dining room to enjoy creative, updated comfort food. The menu takes old fashioned classics and spruces them up for modern consumption. For example, the diner favorite, grilled cheese. Versa's sandwiches come with choices like Monterey Jack, brie, Swiss and chevre, with add-ons like prosciutto, sun dried tomatoes and wild mushrooms. Burgers, pasta dishes, grilled fish and steaks, along with plenty of vegetarian offerings, round out the menu so everyone in your group should find something to their liking. |

Description:
MONTCALM. Where do the locals go for a quick breakfast? Well, a large percentage of them head to Café Krieghof on a regular basis. Food is a step or three above the usual fast food chains, yet the place still manages to get folks in and out quickly, a boon for harried professionals. But the staff is welcoming and efficient, which attracts a good cross-section of the population – there's an equally good chance that you'll find yourself seated next to a bohemian artist-type as a suited commodities trader. The coffee is reliably hot and fresh, the food is terrific and the ambience is ideal whether you're in for a leisurely morning nosh with friends or a speedy Continental on your way to work. What more could you ask? |

Restaurant L'Utopie |

|
|
Distance:
~13.661 km * |
|
|
|
|
| |
Description:
SAINT-ROCH. Owned by the chef and sommeliers, Restaurant L'Utopie has been drawing raves since it first opened in 2004, both for its super stylish décor and its innovative approach to food and wine. The room itself is incredible, and incredibly chic: architectural metal and glass are softened and warmed by sentinels of birch trunks and accents of bright color, for an ultra modern effect. The avant-garde menu changes frequently, and is often developed to accompany certain wines. The melding of flavors and textures is paramount here, and while some dishes may sound odd on paper they translate to the plate perfectly. If you go to just one or two restaurants in Québec, this should be one of them! |

Description:
L'ANCIENNE-LORETTE. Located in the rolling countryside just outside nearby Sainte-Foy, La Tanière offers a welcome escape from the bustle and traffic of the big city. Boasting rustic, hunting lodge-esque décor, the restaurant has managed to maintain an air of charming distinction over the years, thanks mostly to its superb menu. Wild game is the specialty, and few places in Québec "do" bison, duck, venison or moose better than La Tanière. |

Indeed, Camarine has managed to garner a fair amount of local and regional acclaim, thanks largely to its excellent wine list and innovative menu.
