Some of the restaurants on the Côte-de-Beaupré and Île d'Orléans are open only during high season, May to October, so check ahead. But visitors who do arrive in season won't be disappointed.

Some of the restaurants on the Côte-de-Beaupré and Île d'Orléans are open only during high season, May to October, so check ahead. But visitors who do arrive in season won't be disappointed. Fast-food or chain outlets are essentially absent from the island, and your best—and most widely available—option is to sample some of the regional cuisine on offer. And while fine dining is the order of the day on Île d'Orléans, those traveling on a budget won’t go hungry, as there are some good pubs and family-style restaurants with fairly reasonable prices.
In Charlevoix, the same rules apply—call ahead if you're visiting from June to September or during the Christmas holidays. During summer, Charlevoix is a food lover's haven, with fresh berries and cheeses sold roadside and plenty of bistros in the towns. Pick up a map (available at most hotels and restaurants) of La Route des Saveurs, a route through the region dotted with restaurants and farms, and taste your way to Tadoussac.
The best of old and new blend at this restaurant in an 1840 French-Canadian farmhouse, built by the owners' ancestors, which lies east of Château-Richer toward Ste-Anne-de-Beaupré. Antiques and old-fashioned woodstoves decorate the dining rooms, where you can sample traditional Québec dishes, from tourtière (meat pie) and pork hocks to maple-sugar pie. You can also opt for contemporary dishes such as the excellent pork tenderloin in a mushroom sauce and pastry-wrapped "Ferme d'Oc" goose leg confit and prosciutto. A lower-priced lunch menu is served until 4. Upstairs is a five-room B&B, also decorated in Canadiana; two exterior buildings hold two additional rooms.

This excellent, friendly bakery is located in the village of St-Jean's historic rectory, across the street from the church and a promenade along the river. In addition to delicious fresh croissants, pastries, and breads, La Boulange also offers pizzas and other light lunches that you can enjoy on the large covered porch in the summer.
If you're in the market for traditional French Canadian food, les Ancetres Auberge is highly unlikely to disappoint. With all dishes created from local ingredients, you can dine on classic Québécois fare like meatballs and pork hock ragout with root vegetables and pickled beats, or try another house specialty, their "famous" Ancetres pea and ham soup. It doesn't get more Québécois than that. Another plus is the vantage point of the dining room, so while dining on the local grub you can also feast on the beautiful views of the St-Lawrence river and Montmorency Falls a little further off in the distance. Vegetarian friendly.
This is one of the most interesting microbreweries in the Québec City region, producing a colorful range of beers named after historical characters from Île d'Orléans. You can taste them all at the adjoining Pub Le Mitan, along with standard pub fare including burgers, pizzas, and fries. The pub's terrace is particularly pleasant, and there's a beautiful view toward the St. Lawrence River. It's a great place to take a break from a tour of the island.
You can dine inside amid old stone walls or outside on the patios at the foot of a tiny, peaceful waterfall at this restaurant, which was converted from an early-18th-century stone mill. Scrumptious snacks, such as quiche and salads, are available on the terrace, and evening dishes include local pork tenderloin and venison stew. You can stay overnight at one of the Moulin de St-Laurent's chalets—nine available in summer; six in winter—on the edge of the St. Lawrence. Lodging packages, which include some meals, are also available.
This lively café-and-bakery offers a wide variety of classic and unique pastries and breads (hello, preserved-lemon bread!), sandwiches and quick breakfast and lunch options. It's a favorite with locals, who either eat in or take out after a quick chat with the friendly staff. It's a great resource for pâtés, cheeses, and breads to pack for your explorations of the region.
