The best restaurants Quebec

This neighborhood address offers traditional Tibetan food in a simple and authentic atmosphere. The terrace at the back is restful as you wish. The dishes are concocted with meats and finely cut vegetables in the Tibetan style. The typical dish is the momo, a large ravioli stuffed with meat, cheese or vegetables. The Yeti menu includes a rich assortment of the house specialties. Something to feast on before planning, why not, a trek in the Himalayas!

The Byblos is an excellent "brunch spot" for those who like to indulge in mint tea and oriental sweets. The decor is a great success. The menu introduces the gourmet to Iranian gourmet philosophy, then divides into six chapters and an epilogue, giving a good idea of the variety of products to be sampled. The traditional breakfast is a must. Every Sunday from 5pm to 11pm, the restaurant offers Dizzy, a traditional dish (based on lamb, pulses, potato and tomato).

Jones is a great vegan café and resto. Breakfast and brunch are served every day it's open, and with them come colorful salads, healthy toasts , gourmet French toast and extra smoothies. It's beautiful, it's good and it's fresh: everything is homemade, using local, seasonal ingredients whenever possible. The oyster mushroom toast, for example, is made with mushrooms grown on a local farm. On certain evenings of the week, the place transforms into a buvette with dishes to share. All at fairly reasonable prices.

The ideal stop-off for a lunch break around the market. Chef Judith is the sole proprietor of this small take-away counter, which can also accommodate a few people on site. An advocate of local, zero-waste and organic food, she selects only high-quality products. The result: cooked sandwiches (piri-piri chicken, lamb and dried fruit, shredded ham cooked on the bone...), naughty grilled cheeses , all with or without a salad or soup.

A trendy gourmet address nestled in a historic building in the Hull district, Sans Façon offers something for the thirsty and the hungry. On the plate, dishes to share like the seafood tower, raw dishes like tartare and oysters, and heartier fare like rack of venison and wild mushroom risotto. In the glass, a superb selection of classic and signature cocktails, as well as an extensive wine list including organic and natural wines imported privately. An excellent place to treat yourself!

A love story led to the birth of this restaurant: a Quebec woman's gourmet trip to Italy, a local chef whose cuisine seduced her, a move to Canada and the adventure began. Roberto, the chef in question, and Geneviève, his partner in life and business, run this restaurant where pizza reigns supreme. The discovery formats for two are highly recommended, as is the rest of the menu. The Italian wine list is sublime, as is the bakery corner with its breads of all kinds.

A relatively new address on Tremblant's culinary scene, this is a very pleasant gourmet experience, and one worthy of the trattorias of Italy. The fresh homemade pastas and wood-fired pizzas are pure delight, as is the fine selection of antipasti to whet your appetite. There's also an excellent wine list, and the staff know a thing or two about wine to advise you. Mention should also be made of the restaurant's design, which uses raw materials to give it an industrial-chic look. We'll definitely be back!

Having swapped premises with its little brother Larrys, the restaurant now operates in a smaller room with a cosy ambience. So it's in a decor of dark, coppery tones that the magic happens. The menu, true to form, promises a wealth of new discoveries: tripe with pine nuts, winter radish and chili gorria, double ravioli with liver and poultry heart, or doré with sauerkraut, leeks and sausage with smoked whelks - just a taste of the regularly changing menu. Lawrence continues to outdo itself year after year!

Designed to be a place that values surfing and its community, September Café is an address that delights Montreal, and not only surfers. In a modern and bright decor, we love to stop for a good coffee or to taste one of the classics of the house. Avocado toast on brioche bread with soft-boiled egg, grilled halloumi sandwich, big breakfast salad but most of all: the pancakes with maple syrup. Soft and (really) hearty, these pancakes are undoubtedly among the best in town, you can't refuse..

Restaurant Kazu is (often) at the end of the queue, on the corner of rue Sainte-Catherine and rue Saint-Marc. Frequented by regular customers and students, this Japanese izakaya in the heart of downtown is a delight for the taste buds... and the wallet! The place doesn't look much, the interior is tiny and unpretentious, but you come for the good food: okonomiyaki, onigiris, nabemono... in short, real Japanese cuisine, tasty and surprising. It's THE place to go in the neighborhood.

An eco-responsible neighbourhood bistro, featuring Quebec products, with a clear preference for organic products. A menu inspired by the seasons and new arrivals, with delicately prepared dishes, some of which come straight from the smoker's room. Tasting menu experience with wine pairing recommended (beautiful wine cellar including a selection of private imports). In addition, it is a recommended table "Ocean Wise", the guarantee of responsible fishing. Without a doubt one of the best tables in the Ahuntsic district!

The Hiatus gourmet restaurant has set up shop at the very top of Place Ville Marie. Needless to say, the panoramic view of the city is breathtaking! Opened by the same team that runs Cathcart and Jatoba, Hiatus is divided into three distinct floors: the Rose Orange terrace for aperitifs, a café-bar open all day long, and the restaurant with its blend of design and elegance. On the plate, top-flight Franco-Japanese cuisine incorporating many regional products. Discover it for the food and the view!

This restaurant is by far our best gourmet address in the area. On the menu, bistro-style cuisine with a Québécois and maritime accent: seafood chowder, beef cheek poutine, honey pecan-crusted cod, braised venison stew... For two, we recommend the surf & turf plate, featuring filet mignon and lobster tail. In addition to its tasty dishes, the restaurant's reputation is built on its magnificent terrace overlooking the St. Lawrence River, with lounges for relaxing on sunny days.

A true family affair, chef-owner Charles Gignac's gourmet haunt hopes to "put the chef's hat back on" without emptying our wallets. And when you look at his professional background - he did an internship at Alain Ducasse's Beige restaurant in Tokyo - you can't help but be excited about the gastronomic experience to come. On the plate, a French-inspired cuisine where local and seasonal products are the order of the day. For the full experience, we recommend the Experience menus, both in the evening and for brunch.

In the heart of Vieux-Terrebonne, in a superb heritage house dating back to 1804, this festive restaurant has taken up residence. A veritable gourmet refuge, the restaurant serves seasonal cuisine featuring tasty Quebec products such as organic Charlevoix meats and cheeses from the Fritz Kaiser cheese factory in the Montérégie region. At the bar, an extensive wine list perfectly complements each dish. Mention should also be made of the incredible design of the premises, which combines modernity with historic cachet.

Even if the name implies the contrary, it is not a grocery store but a Thai restaurant, at least there is no more confusion possible now. Light wood benches, counter and white tiles on the wall, the place is design. The open kitchen serves traditional dishes like the timeless pad thai or delectable curries. The crispy chicken wings are as good as they are spicy, you've been warned. Next to the Jean-Talon market, it's a good option to have lunch in the neighborhood at a good price.

The team has reinvented its Le Tournebroche bistro for summer 2021. Chef Stéphane Roth is still at the helm, offering a menu focused on local and organic products with an eco-responsible "farm-to-table" approach. Urban beekeeping, gardening on two green roofs, aeroponics and lacto-fermentation are also part of the concept. Main courses include smoked and grilled poultry supreme from Viandes biologiques de Charlevoix with thyme sauce and honey from their rooftop, and lightly cold-smoked and pan-fried medium-cooked organic king salmon.

A superb riverside address! Close to Parc de la Plage-Jacques-Cartier, this restaurant attracts crowds with its large, beautiful terrace overlooking the St. Lawrence. City dwellers looking to get away from it all meet here for aperitifs (5 à 7) over a shared plank. The restaurant also offers a gourmet brunch not to be missed, and salsa evenings to stretch your legs. Try it before or after a stroll along the river. Other branch in Lévis (seasonal resto-terrasse).

In a refined and soothing décor, we offer delicious Ethiopian specialities. Stews, at long length, are eaten in conviviality or intimacy, around dishes to be shared. A kitchen that was raised but not too spicy, dépaysante to wish. The terrace allows you to enjoy the outdoors in fine weather. Melkam eurat (good dinner)!

For dinner and dinner, go to this large, trendy bakery to serve you good sandwiches or consistent salad. Finish with a small ice cream, of course!

The dishes, while close to the bistro formula, are filled with delicious discoveries with a very honourable wine list. The frame is, in the image of the kitchen, refined and user friendly.

The chef is a lover of local products and he quickly transforms every client in a disciple…. Lamb jarret, pavé salmon, roll from brick to feta. A high-quality bistro kitchen!

In a pretty traditional setting, the waitresses in Breton costumes welcome you to eat… pancakes!

In a well-kept setting with superb plates, there is always an impeccable kitchen. The dishes are Italian and French but with a clear preference for the first. The wine cellar will provide, without a shadow of doubt, the bottle for ideal marriage.

If the little rue du Sault-au-Matelot had seduced you, Scalded would increase your affection. The sense of hospitality leads the institution, which is playing more and more in the courtyard of the big thanks to a sophisticated and tasty cuisine and a wine-dictated wine list. The menu honours quality products, carefully chosen. So many dishes carefully prepared and served with outstanding kindness and professionalism.

We are in love! Only twelve tables and one of the best seafood and fish restaurants in the old capital focus on a beautiful market kitchen and regular arrivals.

A festive post-ski place that offers American family cuisine in rustic surroundings. In winter, outdoor barbeques have a rating. In summer, from the terrace you will have a privileged view of the concerts of Piazza Saint-Bernard.

Fish and seafood specialities (French-fried mussels, salmon tartare, langoustines), meat and grills (bison mudflap, grilled lamb jarret), melted and shredded, all in a pleasant setting. Beautiful selection of local alcoholic products.

This establishment serves as a restaurant and wine bar. Chef Dominic Lapointe's menu tends towards a regional cuisine with French influences. An impressive wine list includes a fine selection by the glass as well as ports.

At Chez Milot Restaurant you can enjoy excellent cuisine with seafood, barbecue and pasta. Very pleasant. Service as a sommelier. Terrace.

The Orpailleur winery, which celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2022, offers several wines, including white, red, rosé, ice wine and aperitif wine. As it is also a member of the Artisans à l'oeuvre network, you can visit the Economusée du vigneron on site before taking a tour of the boutique. And in order to appreciate their products at their true value, the winery's restaurant serves appropriate dishes that create judicious pairings, all paired with Orpailleur wine. Superb terrace for a drink.

Located on the slopes of the cycling trail Le P'tit Train du Nord in the former railway station, this health stop will allow you to take full energy for the road. Small food, breakfast up to 11 h, sandwiches, croques, bagels… In the same building there is a shop for rental, sale and repair of bicycles and cross-skis. Terrace.

Offering a typically Canadian rustic atmosphere, this family-run sugar shack has been delighting young and old alike since 1955, all in an enchanting Pays d'en Haut setting. The traditional sugar shack meal includes pea soup, cretons, old-fashioned baked beans, omelette, maple-smoked ham, meatball stew, sugar pie with cream, maple taffy and more. On-site bonus: a boutique offering a range of homemade maple products for gourmet souvenirs. Reservations required.

In a historic house dating back to the th century Papa Luigi serves as excellent Italian specialities, including the famous sparkling steak, which is a favourite for seeing and tasting. Beautiful wine cellar and warm atmosphere.

The Triple Crown Dinette is a South American style restaurant with fried chicken as the undisputed star. We recommend the plate that includes two pieces of fried chicken, a buttermilk roll, a side dish (green beans and potatoes, pinto beans or coleslaw, for example), a little chicken sauce and a chocolate cookie. Another star on the menu: the famous fried chicken and cheddar and chive waffle combo with Espelette pepper maple syrup. Beautiful, good and inexpensive, perfect for a meal on the go!

Restaurant Chez Hackle is a real institution. Local dishes and traditional French cuisine cooked from father to son since 1956. It serves fish, seafood, barbecue and game. A map of affordable wines.

Charming bistro located in Old Saint-Hyacinthe, offering a cuisine based on regional products with a diversified menu adapted to seasonal arrivals. The specialties of the house are the pork net, the salmon and the duck. That said, the whole menu is very tempting and the choice will be difficult. So much better! A beautiful map of local and imported beers will complement the whole.

Without necessarily the fine table in Drummondville. A menu of finesse, French inspiration, but it doesn't disdain the innovations. Bruno works in master kitchens and prepares real wonders. Meat is tender, crisp and fresh vegetables, the wine list, mainly French, is well balanced. An attentive and fast service completes everything.

Now housed in a beautiful red barn, this gourmet address serves Breton crepes prepared using traditional methods, with organic wheat or buckwheat flours and garnished with local produce. Crêpes repas, crêpes estivales, crêpes dessert: everything is delicious (ask about the fancy crêpes of the moment). Pair it all with one of their house beers, brewed in partnership with Quebec microbreweries like Broadway or L'Ironie. In summer, enjoy the terrace, and in winter, the outdoor relaxation area with fireplace.

Located a few steps from the majestic Lake Superior, this log cabin offers a beautiful communion with nature, marked by calm and serenity, in a rustic and warm interior.

In summer, you'll enjoy a privileged view of the concerts on Place St-Bernard from the terrace, while in winter, you'll spend your après-ski around the outdoor fireplace.

The view is magnificent and the setting superb. The sea and the Entry Island accompany you in this restaurant which is never empty. And for good reason: the cuisine is friendly, innovative and truly delicious. Local fish and seafood are honoured, especially lobster, and prepared with originality, with a good dose of artisanal products from the Magdalen Islands. The wine and beer list of the archipelago is also very good. Reservations recommended.

Friendly restaurant. Terrace, beautiful view. Breakfasts, grills, levées (pork ribs), pizza, seafood, homemade pies.

A must stop, a must in the region since 1968! Captain Lobster, as his name suggests, prepares his seafood and fish specialities for you, but lobster remains in control of the place. The prices are excellent, the portions are generous and the view is magnificent. A shop, which looks more like a museum, contains souvenirs, crafts and works by local artists. Also on site: a fish shop and games for children. To stretch the pleasure, it is possible to rent a chalet or a camping site on site.

On the menu: creative bistro-style dishes to share or not, trendy happy hours and innovative mixology. The house cocktails are particularly noteworthy. The menu includes beef short ribs with black beer, seafood cassolette, cod loin fish & chips and cavatelli with black garlic and mushrooms. We can't overlook the magnificent view of the St. Lawrence from the glass roof. If you go in the evening, we recommend you make a reservation, especially during peak tourist season.
