🇨🇦 Quebec City | Dining in a 1640 Heritage Building!

📍 Bistro 1640 A historic restaurant facing Château Frontenac, operating since... wait for it... 1640! 🍽️ The Experience ☀️ Summer Policy: Walk-ins only (except during storms ⚡) ⏰ Arrived at 11:40am - breakfast service ended, waited 20-25 mins for lunch 🗒️ Bilingual menu (EN/FR) with English-speaking staff 🥗 Appetizer Highlights 🍤 Shrimp Mocktail: Fresh, light, and refreshing with avocado base! 🐌 Baked Snails: Fragrant with no weird taste (though the fried bread topping was a bit oily) 🧅 French Onion Soup: Just okay - could skip 🍤 Main Event Seafood Pasta: LOADED with shrimp, mussels and more shrimp! Linguine perfection 🦐 🐂 Braised Beef Jowl: Tender 8-hour slow-cooked beef with mashed potatoes and veggies (even the broccoli had leaves! 🤩) 🍔 Classic Burger: Exactly what it says - classic burger and fries 🍹 Drinks Recolte Mocktail: SUPER sweet (had to water it down) - one of only two mocktail options ✨ Vibe Check 🎶 Vintage French tunes that match the old-world charm 🚽 Spotless bathrooms (always a plus!) 💰 Generous portions - come hungry! #QuebecEats #HistoricRestaurant #FoodieFind #StudyAbroadEats
