When we visited Quebec City we made an effort to try all the French Canadian food we couldand the local Québécois is a Kir. This tasty and refreshing cocktail is usually made with black currant liqueur and dry white wine, though there are variations on the classic recipe. This area of Canada is amazing for growing black currant (aka cassis in Frenc...
Quebec City is stunning in the summertime of course, but I think it’s the most fun to visit in the winter due to the way the locals embrace the cold weather. Their famous winter carnival is a great example. It takes place every February, so since we visited in December we didn’t get to attend but it’s absolutely on my bucket list. This carnival has...
The giant winter toboggan slide in upper Old Town is hands down the unique Quebec City thing you can do. I haven’t seen slides like this offered anywhere in the world.

Here it’s simply known as Soupe à l’Oignon but us Americans call it French Onion Soup and yes, there are tons of spots all around the city that make a dang tasty Soupe à l’Oignon. And, during the winter when it’s all cold and windy outside, we quickly found ourselves craving hot cheesy onion soup every day for lunch. Here’s the top spots to find so...
Quartier Petit Champlain is arguably the prettiest part of Old Quebec City. I mean, all of Old Town oozes charming vibes, but Petit Champlain sits on the lower part of the hill and there’s something so cool about the Fairmont towering over the shops and restaurants that make it extra cute. Rue du Petit-Champlain is the most popular since it’s dotte...
The Funiculaireis basically a nifty little street elevator that connects the Historic District of Old Québec upper town and lower town parts (Dufferin Terrace and Quartier Petit-Champlain, Place-Royale and the Old Port). It’s best to use it when you are down in the Petit Champlain area and take it to the upper town so you don’t have to walk allllll...
The Canadians sure do know how to take advantage of all the seasons. When the Saint Lawerance river freezes up in the winter, you can still get out on the water via an adventurous ice canoe experience. Canot à Glace Expérience offers the coolest (pun intended) canoe tours on the river in the winter. You’ll get equipped some basics like gloves and b...
