Quebec Travel Diary | Foodie Edition 🍮🍷🍽🍝

1️⃣ Tora-Ya Ramen With limited Asian food options in Quebec, this 4.5-star Yelp-rated spot was worth a try. The ramen was decent (not mind-blowing), but their takoyaki (octopus balls) and fried chicken stood out! Paired with hot sake🍶, it made for a cozy meal on a snowy night. A safe choice for Asian-food-craving travelers. 💰 ~$35 CAD per person (2 ramen bowls, 3 appetizers, and drinks). 2️⃣ Le Continental Our splurge meal in Quebec—and totally worth it! The Uber driver told us this is the most iconic fine-dining spot in the city for 50+ years. Main Courses: My steak and my boyfriend’s lamb chops were flawless. Starters: Escargots🐌 (a bit small but tasty) and lobster bisque (8/10). Dessert: Surprisingly generous portions and delicious! 🔥 Flame Show: Some dishes are cooked tableside—from searing to saucing—making it a full culinary performance. Service: Impeccable! 💰 ~$115 CAD per person. 3️⃣ Ciel Bistro A 360° revolving restaurant with stunning city views—go on a clear day! We visited for Sunday brunch (limited menu, but great value). Brunch Highlights: Solid dishes, and the $30 CAD set includes 2 drinks! Note: Dinner/weekday lunch menus look more exciting—next time! 4️⃣ Sapristi A charming Italian spot on Petit-Champlain Street. Pastas: All well-executed—pair with red wine for a perfect dinner. Appetizers: Skip the fried calamari (meh), but the salmon tartare was fresh. Bonus: The waiters were unexpectedly handsome 😂 💰 ~$45 CAD per person. 5️⃣ Bistro 1640 Different menus at lunch vs. dinner! Mains: The steak was great, and the cod was tender but lightly seasoned (not for heavy-flavor lovers). Surprise Hit: Their French onion soup was shockingly good! Dessert Warning: The sugar pie is diabetes-level sweet—one bite is enough. Hidden Gem: Their mojitos were refreshing and Instagram-worthy! 💰 ~$40 CAD per person. Final Thoughts: Quebec’s food scene blends old-world charm (Le Continental) with cozy finds (Tora-Ya). If you’re visiting, prioritize Le Continental for a fancy night and Ciel Bistro for the view! Which one would you try first? 😋 #QuebecEats #FoodieTravel #FineDining #TravelDiaries #CanadaFood #QuebecCity
