Budget Foodie's Guide to Quebec | East Canada Trip

As someone who wants to experience local flavors without breaking the bank, here’s how I ate my way through Quebec in 1.5 days! 🍜 Dinner: Pho Tonkinoise (Open until 9pm) ✅ Review: Located outside Old Quebec (easy parking!). Tried pho (solid) & tom yum soup (sweet-spicy, not authentic but decent). Perfect for rainy days! ☔ 💵 Cost: $13-15 CAD 🥐 Brunch: Pâtisserie Chouquette (Opens at 10am) ✅ Review: Quebec’s #1 French pastry shop (near Hilton/Delta hotels). Must-tries: Napoleon pastry (flaky + caramel perfection) Chocolate croissant (ultra-crispy) Pistachio éclair was sold out 😢 💵 Cost: $8-10 CAD 🍔 Bonus Brunch: The Green McDonald’s ✅ Review: The world’s only green-logo McDonald’s! In Old Quebec’s tourist area (walkable). Pro tip: Download Canada’s McDonald’s app (US ID won’t work!). 💵 Cost: $8-10 CAD 🍗 Snack Attack: PFK (Québec’s KFC) ✅ Review: PFK = Poulet Frit Kentucky (KFC’s French name here). No Popeyes in Quebec City, so this was the fried chicken fix. Good but not great—less crispy than Popeyes, slightly pricier. 💵 Cost: $10-15 CAD #QuebecTravel #CanadaRoadTrip #BudgetEats #OldQuebec #FoodieOnABudget
