Quebec City

Driving from P.E.I to Quebec is beautiful. We booked our hotel on hotwire, and were lucky to get Hotel Clarendon on Rue Sainte-Anne in Old Quebec. Very nice, and excellent location. We could walk everywhere! The streets were bustling with performances, and the energy in the city is so vibrant. We knew we would want to stay longer, so we extended our stay immediately.

The first night we were there we walked around for a bit, and ate at Au Parmesan on Rue Saint-Louis. Good food, good service.

Old Quebec has a very European feel to it, with cobblestone roads, and wooden cafe windows opening to the street. We ate as much as we could in the short time we spent here!




Breakfast at La Omelette (Cafe de Paris) also located on Rue Saint-Louis.

Hilarious street performers. Both ended up inside of those balls!

We walked around town, taking breaks to cool off. We went to see the citadel and the Chateau Frontenac. There was also a big concert being set up just behind the Citadel for Rush, K-Naan, and The Black Eyed Peas.

I think this is Rue Saint-Louis

Chateau Frontenac

 

Musee Du Fort

There are a lot of stairs in Old Quebec. Bring comfortable walking shoes!

Preparing for the concert

 We headed down to Le Petit Champlain district (down millions of stairs), and ate delicious poutine at Cafe Resto. There are so many shops, galleries and restaurants here. We could have spent days exploring.

The Funiculaire! For a fee will carry you back up the hill.

We at at Le Cochon Dingue, and had delicious duck confit spring rolls, and some kind of Oka starter. Very nice. I don't remember our main courses but I know we were not disappointed. The hardest part was choosing where to eat! So many choices.
