Best Dessert in Quebec City

"This large bakery and pastry shop—which features a dining area with several tables that allow customers to eat on site—makes one of the city’s widest ranges of pastries, cakes, breads, and ready-to-eat dishes such as soups, quiches and pizza slices. Sorbets, gelati, macarons, fine chocolates, and truffles are all house made too."

"This homey, traditional Italian eatery provides a unique blend of home cooked foods such as salmon, pasta and veal. For a worthwhile gastronomic change of pace, why not try calves' kidneys in mustard sauce, the chef's special pepper steak flambé or even Luigi's legendary manicotti stuffed with spinach and cheese?. You won't leave disappointed – or hungry."

"Restaurant Parmesan offers a taste of the Old World in the heart of old Québec. The interior is decorated with thousands of liquor bottles from around the world and is full of character. Live music, including an accordion player, contributes to the quirky and fun atmosphere."

"If you are a looking for a place that’s passionate about tasty brews, Cafe La Maison Smith Des Jardins is the place for you. Hop into their Old Québec location for a rich and robust or creamy and smooth cup of joe. If you’re there in summer, grab a spot on their cosy green patio."

"With three locations (Sainte-Foy, Lebourgneuf and rue Cartier) and over 50 different coffees, this coffee house is the perfect place to work. Their delicious soups and panini are also a good choice. The Lebourgneuf location is my favourite as the place is calm and less busy during the day."

"While this bakery is admittedly a little off the tourist map, a growing number of food enthusiasts love to walk along Limoilou’s 3rd Avenue, where several new creative restaurants have opened their doors in the past few years. In this growing new generation of gourmet establishments, La Fournée Bio is the founding mainstay, having been catering to hungry locals for over ten years now. It makes over 75 different bread varieties that cycle in and out of seasonal offerings, which customers can pair with homemade jams and local artisanal products."

"Coffee fanatics will tell you: to test the talent of a barista (or "master of the coffee machine"), nothing beats an espresso. So, prepare your small cups, because the following establishments will give you quite a caffeine boost!"

"Though it has a full menu (mains $17 to $23, steaks $38) and restaurant seating, the main focus of this iconic spot in place since 1973 is the bar, which is really a pub as we see it. Try any of the local..."

"The 4 buildings making up this museum complex sit where history was made on the Plains of Abraham in the Upper Town of Old Québec. The museum is home to over 40,000 works, the largest collection of art from Québec. Discover artists from Québec and abroad, a remarkable variety of old masterpieces and modern art, and the Family Gallery with exhibits and workshops for everyone."

"The mid-18th-century classical French Maison Chevalier is another fine example of urban architecture in New France. A former hotel, it was the first building in the Place-Royale area to be restored in the 1950s. The current structure is really three separate houses from three distinctive periods: Maison de l'Armateur Chevalier (home of a former shipowner), built in a square in the 1750s; Maison Frérot, with a mansard roof (1683); and Maison Chesnay, dating from 1660."

"Built in the first third of the 18th century, Maison des Jésuites de Sillery was leased to British merchants at the end of the Seven Years War (1756–1763). In 1929 the home was classified a historic monument. Managed and developed by the Borough of Sainte-Foy–Sillery–Cap-Rouge, it houses a collection of hundreds of archeological and ethnological objects of aboriginal, French, and English origin."

"Built in the early 18th-century, Maison des Jésuites de Sillery was home to the first Jésuite mission in Quebec. Today, it is a historic landmark, museum and interpretation centre."

"There is no better place to cool off with an ice-cold drink on a hot summer day in Québec City than La Cour arrière du Festibière. This incredible patio, complete with a shallow pool where you can relax on a lounge chair while soaking your feet, is located at the Old Port of Québec overlooking the St. Lawrence River and has definitely earned its reputation as The Most Beautiful Terrace in Town. With one of the most extensive drink menus in the city (maybe even the province!), visitors can take their pick from more than 70 types of beer from local microbreweries, cocktails, wine, sangria, summer specialties like slushies, and non-alcoholic options."

"La Cour arrière du Festibière feels like an oasis in the heart of the Old Port of Québec City. Located along the waterfront of the majestic St. Lawrence River, this pool-like terrace offers the ideal atmosphere to soak up summer vibes. With a wide variety of local beers catered by the organizers of the Festibière, Québec City's popular beer festival, La Cour arrière is the most refreshing terrace in town."

"Festibière de Quebec is your chance to experience some of the best craft beers produced in Quebec, as well as ciders and other tasty local products. This delightful beer festival takes place at Quais de l’Espace 400e, near the marina. Best to leave your car at home or the hotel and stumble back."

"The star player on Québec City’s tiny gay scene, Le Drague is a large club with an attractive outdoor terrace that gets packed in summer, a dance bar and stage on the ground floor where drag shows are held, and a..."

"Beneath the Dufferin Terrace lies an archaeological crypt revealing what was, for more than 200 years of French and then English rule, the official residence and seat of power of the French and British governors. Experience life in a château and take in the history of a site where decisions that affected all of North America were made."

"Saint-Louis Forts and Châteaux National Historic Site take you back to the days of Saint-Louis Fort, which once overlooked the Saint-Lawrence River. A fun and interesting activity for families (and everyone else!)."

"Just fifteen minutes’ drive to the northeast of town is one of the area’s most astounding natural sights, the majestic Montmorency Falls. Set in a scenic park of the same name, the waterfall towers to a huge 275 feet which is much taller than the famed Niagara Falls. While its white wall of water certainly makes for some fabulous photos, the park itself is also well worth exploring."

"This park perched atop a ridge provides a panoramic view of the St. Lawrence River and the Fresque des Québécois mural. It’s got all the makings of a perfect pic."
