Quebec City

My husband and I spent a few days visiting Quebec City while on vacation last week. Different than Montreal, Quebec City is small, historical and very French. We found the old city a bit too touristy for our taste and ended up walking down beautiful quiet streets just outside the city's ancient walls. (where these selected photos were taken) My husband and I love to find unique places to eat when we travel. Some of the restaurants we found and loved on this trip, were not even in the old city but more in the neighborhoods the locals haunt. Here are some of the places we enjoyed and would definitely visit again!

Le Moine Echanson is a very small restaurant that posts their every changing menu on a chalkboard that takes up an entire wall. The owners were so friendly and the meals were all local, organic and inventive. www.lemoineechanson.com/ It actually reminded me of a restaurant here in Boston called Hungry Mother. www.hungrymothercambridge.com/main.html

Le Clocher Penche is a bistro that has a relaxed and natural feel to it's interior, service and food.
The food was amazing and our waiter even shook our hand as we left, thanked us and welcomed us back again! www.clocherpenche.ca/

Last but not least, Le Cafe du Monde is a waterfront bistro that serves classic French food with an amazing view of the St Lawrence waterfront. We enjoyed a delicious duck confit salad paired with a classic rose. With a view of the water and excellent service this was a great way to enjoy a beautiful summer day. www.lecafedumonde.com/accueil.asp?lan=en
