  • 1. Café Saint-Henri

    $ | St-Roch

    Expect the usual crowd of students, freelancers, and others toting laptops at this third-wave café that has thoughtfully selected beans roasted on-site. Even so, the contemporary, all-white café is a welcome respite from the cold in wintertime—and the doughnuts alone are worth a visit.

  • 2. La Boîte à Pain

    $ | St-Roch

    La Boîte à Pain makes it a point of honor to serve fresh products prepared on site every day. In a convivial atmosphere, this European-inspired bakery has been making gourmet and artisanal products for more than 20 years. Breads, pizzas, sandwiches, pastries, and cakes are displayed on the large counter and are nothing short of convincing, if not plainly irresistible.

  • 3. Bistrot Le Pape-Georges

    $ | Lower Town | Wine Bar

    For a respite from the shoppers on rue du Petit-Champlain, grab an outdoor table at Le Pape-Georges and cool off with a drink and creamy, tangy local cheeses and fruit. This stone-and-wood wine bar, the first of its kind in Québec City when it opened almost 35 years ago, is also nice indoors; there's music on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights.

  • 4. Café Cantook

    $ | St-Jean-Baptiste

    One of the newer additions to the St-Jean-Baptiste neighborhood, Cantook is a micro-roaster that is more traditional than trendy, but no less excellent. Visit for a cappuccino, a good conversation with the owner, maybe even both.

    $ | Lower Town

    This casual and attractive café right on the corner of scenic Place Royale is a great place to stop for an afternoon pick-me-up, be it coffee or various indulgent sweets. For a light lunch, there are yummy sandwiches, quiches, and soups. There are other branches elsewhere in the city that are just as good, just not as scenic.  On sunny days, make sure to enjoy the sun-drenched patio.

  • 8. Chez Ashton

    $ | Upper Town

    As far as fast food goes, nothing is more Québécois than poutine, that rough-and-ready dish made of fries, cheese curds, and gravy. In Québec City, this regional chain, founded in 1969, is the local favorite for hurried lunchers and late-night snackers. Also well worth trying here is a hot-dog du lac, a "steamie" (steamed hot dog) with mayo, cabbage, and a few fries on top.

    54 Côte du Palais, Québec City, Québec, G1R 4H8, Canada
    418-692–3055
  • 9. Le Chic Shack

    $ | Upper Town

    At this refreshing alternative to the Old City's ubiquitous white-linen bistros, you can get fast food that's also high quality. Burgers made from grass-fed cattle served on soft artisanal brioche buns make this a prime locale for lunch goers. With long tables, red accents, and paper-towel rolls in place of napkin holders, the interior has a retro touch without feeling overly folksy or forced. Save room for dessert, which includes heavenly dark-chocolate milkshakes, chocolate ganache, or peanut-butter ice-cream sandwiches.

    418-692–1485

    Known For

    • Great burgers
    • Quality fast food

  • 10. Nektar Caféologue

    $ | St-Roch

    Another five-star coffee shop to visit in St-Roch, either for a roasting lesson or a warm macchiato respite from the Quebec winter. Known for its ecological and humanist approach, Nektar works closely with its fair trade producers in Brazil to produce their Para Ela blend, which means "for her" and is harvested by hand and processed exclusively by women who are paid 50% more than the regional average. With its beautiful packaging, Nektar's coffees are a also perfect travel gift for yourself or for friends.
