Hi LyndaKaye30,
The fast answer is, "Yes."
About 30 minutes from Quebec City, in Saint-Apollinaire, is a foie gras producer. Their website is
http://www.canardgoulu.com/Site2008/index.htm
I don't know how your French is (or for others doing research) but from the menu on the left select "En ville" and it tells you they have a store in Quebec City (though they are mighty good at keeping the actual address to themselves). Clicking on, "Carte de localisation" will bring you to a map of their location (if you want to buy some).
As for restaurants, click on, "Partout ailleurs" and then, "Restaurants" for a list of where their products are being served. And this is just one producer.
If it is beyond your budget to have foie gras with a Sauternes, ask your server if they have Quebec Ice Cider (Pomme de Glace).

You should be able to get foie gras at any good restaurant in Québec City, but it is a specialty at Le Saint Amour. The foie gras and other duck products are locally raised.
Check their menu:

You might also try Panache in the Auberge Saint-Antoine:

The best fois gras we have ever had was at l'echeude in lower town. http://www.echaude.com
We had the table d'hote with wine pairings - just the best!!!
