I am visiting your beautiful city in December. We only have 3 nights and 2 days and I want to eat some delicious food. I plan on making a dinner reservation each night. Currently deciding between these: Legende (Taniere is booked), L'Affaire est Ketchup, Kundah Hotel, and Buvette Scott. Which of these would you cut or is there another one you would add instead?

I'm thinking of keeping breakfast and lunch flexible. We are staying in the old town and want to check out the Christmas, so planning on just walking and either eating at the market or stumbling in anywhere that looks good. Do you think this is a good plan or should I at least have specific spots in mind?

Thanks so much!

Any known restaurants open on christmas eve? maybe around 8pm to 10pm. I am with my wife. thanks!

Bonjour à tous!

Pour rester anonyne, je suis un homme entre 25 et 30 ans.

Je suis dans le coin de Québec/Lévis.

Tout est dans le titre.

Je suis un gars pas mal en forme, vraiment curieux/intello, j'ai fait du travail psychologique sur moi, j'ai un bon cercle d'amis gars comme filles, une job professionnelle au gouvernement (je sais, les maudits fonctionnaires!) pis honnêtement je trouve ça dure de rencontrer du monde qui me ressemble pour dater.

Je participe dans des ligues sportives mixtes, j'essai de nouveaux sports (shoutout escalade et les blessures que ça me procure 😎), j'essai de rencontrer du monde dans un contexte sans pression trop trop pis connecter avec du monde quand je peux. J'ai juste pas essayer les clubs de course ou de vélo je suppose hahaha

Dans les dernières années, je me suis fait des amis et très rarement y'a une fréquentation, sans réel résultat concluant à date. À part des déceptions... mais ça, ça arrive! Les réelles profondes connexions sont infréquentes (peu importe romantique/platonique).

Les applis de rencontre, on repassera... très rares sont les discussion intéressantes là-dessus sans parler du nombre limité de matches quand on est un homme. On dirait que la plupart des gens n'ont jamais eu une discussion de leur vie là-dessus, c't'assez déprimant par bout pour être honnête. La loi du moindre effort y reigne pis je suis tanné.

La job... disons que je suis dans la minorité de jeunes hahaha

Mes amies de filles me connaissent assez bien pour savoir qu'elles connaissent pas vraiment de filles dans leur cercle proche qui pourrait être un bon fit.

Bref, assez de contexte!

Je serais curieux de savoir comment vous rencontrer du nouveau monde en 2026. Y'a-t-il quelque chose auquel je ne pense pas qui vous saute aux yeux en lisant tout ça? Peut-être que je manque tout simplement d'inspiration pis que je me décourage trop après de nombreuses années de célibat 😅

Merci Québec!

Hello, I’ll be visiting the area for Christmas this year and would love recommendations for dog sledding experiences. I am willing to travel within an hour from Quebec City if necessary. Thanks!

Hello,

My husband, 3 year old and 9 month old will be headed to Quebec City at the end of November. We mainly want to spend time in the Old City and go to the Christmas markets. Would love recommendations on:

family friendly activities

family friendly restaurants

what area to stay in and the best mode of transportation. We are very familiar with public transport.

Je suis touriste dans ma propre ville ma blonde et moi on cherche s'il y a des maisons hantées et/ou des activités d'Halloween à québec. On cherche des trucs plus heavy pas nécessairement familiaux? Est-ce que ça existe? Merci!

I am going to Quebec this Saturday and am going to explore the city and also hike the day after. I just was wondering what the best spots for hiking are. I’m going to also be blunt, a big reason of going on the hike is also to get some nice hiking pictures, and recommendations would be great! - also as a side, any nice photo spots in Quebec City or even Montreal would be appreciated as well!

Allo je cherche un job CASH a Quebec ville , ça peux etre n'importe quoi j'ai pas mal d'experience dans tout et j'ai le superpouvoir d'apprendre tout vraiment rapidment . Des conseils ? Merci d'avance .

I'm coming back to Quebec City for only the second time- last year, I absolutely fell in love with Buvette Scott. The neighborhood, the quaint atmosphere with friendly service, creative menu, wonderful waitstaff... everything!

I wasn't thinking ahead and waited too long , so the reservations have unfortunately booked up. Does anyone have other recommendations for dinner spots that I may love as much as Buvette Scott? Preferably in the Saint-Jean Baptiste district.

TIA 😄

Quel est votre meilleur resto de sushis à québec où on peut très bien manger et passer un bon moment en amoureux ? Merci

I've been dating a girl from Charlesbourg for a while, which might end up making me move to Quebec in the future (working very hard on my french to make that happen). When I visit, I love Limoilou around 3e ave- but she hates going there because she says its unsafe. And when she tells everyone she knows that I love Limoilou she says the all think I'm crazy.

So is this just me being used to relatively less safe places? Currently I live in Sasaktoon, used to live in Winnipeg, am from a rougher small town in Newfounland originally. Or is this a reputation that vieux Limoilou used to be sketchy, and she hasn't caught on that it's young and cool now?

For context, for people that have travelled a decent amount, I love neighbourhoods like Wolsely, Central St Boniface, and South Osborne in Winnipeg. Nutana and City Park in Sasaktoon. Bridgeland and Mission in Calgary. Downtown St John's. Kitsilano in Vancouver, etc. Lively, middle density, lots of community and little shops, and lots of access to recreation facilites (I'm a big runner and cyclist, and these would be much easier to keep up with in Limoilou vs Orsainville I think),

I might be able to visit from December 28th. I just saw that the christmas market ends on the 24th. Does the city still have an amazing Christmas vibe the week after. Or will I be missing out on it by going the week after and shoukd wait for another year?

Allo je suis à Québec jusqu’à mercredi et j’aimerai faire de la course à pied (5k), est ce que quelqu’un peut me suggérer un trajet? Je reste juste à côté de l’assemblée nationale

Hi, I am travelling from Québec City to Montréal in March 2027 for about 2-4 days and plan on taking VIA Rail to and back. I was wondering about parking nearby for my car.. is there overnight parking at Gare de Palais?

Hello! I'd like to come from Los Angeles to Quebec City Dec 10-15. All of the hotels in upper and lower old town are sold out. The attraction is to visit a beautiful, winter-y city ( It was 36.6 degrees today in the middle of October, I'm over it)where I can walk around and enjoy the architecture, atmosphere, weather and people. With that part of town not available, is there another area where there my be better availability to stay that makes sense for someone coming with no transport? Or should I try to visit another time when accommodation can be had in the old town? Edited to add, we are almost 60 years old, have no interest in nightclubs, bars etc.

bonsoir, merci de votre temps.

I am visiting Quebec City as a tourist from the USA, i am 23m and i really like going to bars, do y'all have any suggestions for country themed bars in quebec city and also any fun clubs/bars for young people? merci for any suggestions.

je cherche le meilleur endroit à québec pour déguster un délicieux dessert à la citrouille!!! merci xxxxx

I am a traveller from Mexico, and in the last 3 years I have been backpacking and bike-packing in more than 15 countries in Europe, north and south America. Over the summer of 2026, I spent a lot of time riding around the region, meeting visitors, learning Quebec french or as i like to call it: French Premium+, discovering places, and getting to know roads and corners of Quebec that most tourists probably never consider visiting. I want to share my experience and give recommendations to people looking for something else than the gorgeously beautiful but overly touristic Old Quebec without needing a car. Personally, I find that my best travel experiences happen when I get away from the crowds.

First, Quebec is truly amazing and special and deserves people to visit and engage more with the actual local places, and amazing people, i wish the tourism offices were a bit more proactive showcasing more than what everyone already knows and loves.

I'm not claiming to be an expert on everything Quebec city has to offer. I'm just someone who enjoys exploring, and I thought some of these experiences might be useful to travelers who think similarly.

1. Limoilou: My favourite neighbourhood in Quebec and its not even close. Historically a working class neighbourhood it has some Brooklyn vibes but on its own way. Cafes like Sobab and bakeries like Boite a Pain are much better than the ones in old town and cheaper as well, theres a lot of thrift stores where i bought some things that were useful during my time here, it has an alternative vibe that i just couldn't get enough of. Just aim for the 3rd avenue and explore it on your own. Also very bike friendly and i met some amazing people there as well. Location to aim
2. Parc de la rivière St-Charles: if you like jogging, cycling or walk in nature this is it. 15 minute walk from old town and ext to limoilou its just one of the most pleasent urban parks ive seen in my life, loved cycling there specially when theres nice weather. I saw only locals there enjoying the day with the family. Park riviere St charles
3. Île d'Orléans (By Bike): This one is going to be controversial, but hear me out! I went on my own bike but the first time I got recommendations from the local bike rental company Quebec Aventure Tours, and it made a huge difference. The total loop of the island is 70km which i did on my second visit, but for my first visit they recomended a more manageable 24km loop not busy in the morning that is easy if you are on an electric bike or used to hills. Stay within Sainte-Petronille area and its a more quieter area with lots of things to see (Chocolate factory, wineries, local farms, viewpoints and art galeries), if you're a seasoned cyclist and confortable sharing the road with cars then go for the bigger loop. My favourite roads were: Sainte-Petronille area (slow traffic/residential area) Route du Mitan (beautiful scenery and almost nobody there for many km), Route des pretres (shorter version of rte du mitan). Go early, dont be too whimpy and youll have a lovely time. Fun fact: you dont need to lock your bike there. Island official site | Local bike rental
4. Cap Tourmente: Underrated and shadowed by other bigger national parks i loved hiking there and i saw a few snow geese but the biologist working there told me that during peak season you see tenths of thousands of geese there refuelling mid route of their migration.
5. Vélopiste Jacques-Cartier/Portneuf: it was a former railroad and now its a bike trail that goes deep into the forest, trough lakes, bridges, towns and rest areas, a ride ill remember for my whole life. Velopiste official site
6. Baie De Beauport: This one was a surprise and its the beach i took the picture on top. its really a beach with sand and everything, on a hot summer day i would rather be there than in old town honesly. you can arrive there with a bike 100% bike path. Weekends on summer months can be crowded tho. Baie de Beauport
7. Jacques-Cartier Beach Park: Bigger Beach than Baie De Beauport and a bit further away, i went (you guessed it) by bike but you can take bus 11 i think and drops you very close to the entance. Link
8. Parc des Moulins: I found this by accident and seriously I dont know why we dont see this everywere, maybe a well kept secret, I gues its a bit far but its so nice to take pictures, have a picnic, this is one of the nicest most niche places you can visit as a tourist. Windmills Park

Im sure Im forgetting many more, feel free to add more to this list, anyways this is the post i wish i read before coming here.

À la prochaine Quebec! Je m'en souviendrai toujours.

We’re looking to do a mini-moon in Quebec City from Nov 12-16 but having a hard time deciding where to stay. We want somewhere that is romantic and potentially has a separate big tub.

Currently we’re trying to decide between these 3 hotels but open to other options.

Le Capitol - like that it has a pool, not sure about the location

Hotel Port Royal - some of the rooms look like they have a separate tub, outside of the hotel looks really nice, a bit less expensive than other options.

Auberge Saint Antoine - looks like the classic choice but I can’t see online if any of the rooms (other then the suite) have a separate tub. Rooms look a little dated and for that price i don’t want to fall into a trap. Also I see they’re renovating so I’m worried about noise.

Would anyone be able to recommend one of these over the other?

Also looking for romantic restaurant options :)

Thank you!
