Restaurants cuisine du monde Québec

Elegant and chic, without stripping your wallet, here is an address to remember. The menu is inspired by the roots of the delicious Italian cuisine that the chef and his team lovingly concoct. Fresh pasta is homemade, local meat is carefully selected from local producers, and risottos - the great specialty - are simply divine. Tartars and oven-baked pizzas are also popular. On sunny days, the terrace is the perfect place for an aperitif or a romantic meal. Buon appetito!

For the past 10 years, they've been preparing tasty pizzas in the traditional way. It doesn't get much more authentic than this: the two partners behind this gourmet address are duly certified by the Associazione Pizzaioli Napoletani and have even imported a wood-fired oven from Naples. Some twenty varieties are on the menu, with countless extras to suit all tastes, as well as appetizers to whet the appetite - with a special mention for the burrata - salads for freshness, and homemade desserts on the sweet side. A fine selection of natural wines.

A small corner of Italy where the festive flavours of "mama" cuisine come to light. We're looking forward to the traditional wood oven to see these ready-to-go pizzas in Europe. The dough is fine and the seasoning has the right tone. The choice of pasta is impressive and encourages the learning of Italian. But we can stick to fish and lamb and veal dishes. In the evening, the feast is accompanied by latino tunes cooked by musicians who drank the place. The service follows the feverish rhythm. A bastion of Italian freshness in New France.

The secret of this restaurant is the making of the thin, crispy pizza dough. Here, all the ingredients - even the wines - are meticulously chosen, for the most part organic and sourced from local suppliers, such as the goat cheeses from Cassis et Mélisse. The owner, a Frenchman, experimented with this winning recipe in Lille before settling in Quebec City. The menu also includes tasty fresh pasta and homemade sauces. Gourmets beware: the tiramisu is one of the best in town!

Tasty, traditional pizzas are prepared here: three of the five partners behind this gourmet address are certified by the Associazione Pizzaioli Napoletani and have even imported a gas oven from Naples. Some twenty varieties are on the menu, with countless extras to suit all tastes, as well as appetizers to whet the appetite, salads for freshness and homemade desserts on the sweet side. A fine selection of natural wines.

More French-Italian and inventive than Graffiti, impossible! The critics are unanimous and our taste buds confirm it, choose with your eyes closed, it's excellent every time. Our suggestion: as a starter, the shrimp and scallop puff pastry with Nantes butter and spinach, and as a main course, the pan-fried sweetbreads with mushrooms marinated in balsamic or the risotto with duck confit. Founded in 1984, the Graffiti offers an original and constantly evolving market cuisine, accompanied by one of the best cellars in the region.

This take-out counter with terrace is next to its big sister, the restaurant Bati Bassac (which is also worth discovering). On the canteen side, a wide range of Cambodian specialties but also from other South-East Asian countries, such as Saolin beef (breaded beef sautéed in an orange teriyaki sauce, sprinkled with candied oranges and flavored with sesame) or Singapore pad (rice noodles sautéed with chicken and shrimps in a curry sauce, cabbage strips and carrot). The pailin and imperial rolls are also excellent. We will go back there!

A very small restaurant - just a few tables - whose name, decor and background music are reminiscent of Bob Marley's homeland. That said, this is not a place for smoking, but rather for enjoying market cuisine that varies according to the season, with oysters, veggie dishes, fish and shellfish, not forgetting a little meat. All dishes have a vegetarian option. A fine selection of cocktails, microbrewery beers and a few wines, including organic vintages. Worth discovering!

In the image of famous American diners, this gourmet address offers soul food that blends Quebec classics with those of its southern neighbors. Gone is the traditional shepherd's pie! Here, it's prepared with shredded beef, creamed corn and cheesy mashed potatoes. The classic American combo of fried chicken and waffles is also on the menu, as is the Chili Cheese hot dog with homemade vegan chili, sour cream and cheese sauce. In short, this is not the place to diet!

The little brother of the renowned restaurant Tanière3, Légende offers a menu inspired by Quebec's culinary heritage and the imprint of time on this cuisine. A place to meet and share around the table, to discover or rediscover the land, the forest and the river, in a constantly evolving menu. The wine list is also renowned, with the American magazine Wine Spectator ranking it among the best in the world. A real favorite at this address, which offers exclusively Quebec products.

Here, Italian cuisine is simple, sharing and fresh. In a pretty little white room with large windows, everything is prepared in-house according to seasonality and the quality of the produce. From appetizers and starters like citrus-marinated olives, homemade mortadella and Savoy cabbage and leek fritters, to dishes like absolutely delicious fresh homemade pasta. It was voted best new restaurant in the country in 2017 by Air Canada's enRoute magazine.
