  • 1. Chez Boulay

    $$$$ | Upper Town

    Chefs Jean-Luc Boulay and Arnaud Marchand, who are both revered in this town, delight patrons with elegant interpretations of cuisine inspired by northern Québec and made entirely from local ingredients, including reinvented classic desserts, such as iced nougat with cloudberries. A mix of locals celebrating special occasions and tourists fresh from shopping rue St-Jean dine in this elegant dining room on bison tartare, braised beef ravioli with candied red cabbage, and salmon in a flavorful cranberry glaze. The somber color scheme, rustic-meets-modern graphics, and dark wood trim make this one of the more sophisticated bistros in the neighborhood.

  • 2. Aux Anciens Canadiens

    $$$ | Upper Town

    Named for a 19th-century book by Philippe-Aubert de Gaspé, who once resided in the 1675 house, this establishment has a modern menu and a good wine list, but most people come for the authentic French-Canadian cooking. Servers are dressed in period costume and each of the five dining rooms has a different theme, such as the bright and cheerful vaisselier (dish room), featuring colorful antique dishes and a fireplace. One of the best deals is a three-course meal, starting at C$19.95, available until 5:45 every day.

  • 3. Buffet de L'Antiquaire

    $$ | Lower Town

    Hearty home cooking, generous portions, and rock-bottom prices have made this no-frills, diner-style eatery in the heart of the antiques district, a Lower Town institution. It's a good place to sample traditional Québécois dishes such as pea soup and cipaille (a deep-dish layered pie using poultry, meat, or seafood), and the homemade and delicious sugar pie, crepes, and other desserts. In summer, there is a small sidewalk terrace where you can sit and watch the shoppers stroll by.

  • 4. Chez Ashton

    $ | Upper Town

    As far as fast food goes, nothing is more Québécois than poutine, that rough-and-ready dish made of fries, cheese curds, and gravy. In Québec City, this regional chain, founded in 1969, is the local favorite for hurried lunchers and late-night snackers. Also well worth trying here is a hot-dog du lac, a "steamie" (steamed hot dog) with mayo, cabbage, and a few fries on top.

    54 Côte du Palais, Québec City, Québec, G1R 4H8, Canada
    418-692–3055
  • 5. Le Billig

    $$ | St-Jean-Baptiste

    At this lovely crepe shop, buckwheat flour crepes are filled with simple ham and cheese, or fancier combos like duck confit with onion marmalade, while a wheat crepe with salted caramel and sweet Chantilly cream makes a good dessert. The large shop also has bistro items like cod beignets, charcuterie plates, and cassoulet, and there's a nice selection of ciders and beers.

  • 6. Le Parlementaire

    $$ | Upper Town

    Despite its magnificent beaux arts interior and its reasonable prices, the National Assembly's restaurant remains one of the best-kept secrets in town. Chef Martin Gagné prepares contemporary cuisine with products from Québec's various regions, such as mini-fondues made with Charlevoix cheese to ravioli made from lobster caught in the Gaspé to pork from the Beauce region, trout from the Magdalen Islands, or candied-duck salad. At just C$37, the three-service tasting menu is an absolute steal.

    1045 rue des Parlementaires, Québec City, Québec, G1A 1A3, Canada
    418-643–6640

    Known For

    • Elegant, historic decor

  • 7. Taverne Louise

    $$$ | Lower Town

    As a nod to Queen Victoria's slightly rebellious fourth daughter, who happened to adore Québec City, Taverne Louise aims to please with its two distinct areas: one that's more laid-back and casual, with local beers on tap, and the other slightly more upscale with a regiment of tapas and privately imported wines. The space, with exposed stone and large ancestral windows, is the perfect backdrop for the restaurant's now iconic foie gras au torchon and a glass of rosé Lambrusco.

    48 rue Saint-Paul, Québec City, Québec, G1K 3V7, Canada
    418-780--7255

    Known For

    • Chef's table
    • Outstanding wine list with private imports
    • Charming space
