Probably the most famous Quebec food, poutine consists of fries, gravy and cheese curds. You won’t find this delicacy in the health food stores. Indeed, the word, “poutine”is Quebec slang for a “mess”. Poutine is such a popular Canadian food that there are festivals celebrating it and trendy gourmet variations to try, in addition to it being availa...
Tourtière is a traditional meat pie, usually filled with seasoned and minced beef or pork, or game meats. You’ll find different recipes in different families and areas, but you can always expect warm, comforting meat wrapped in a pastry crust.

Montreal smoked meat is a kosher-style cured and smoked beef brisket; it’s basically Montreal’s version of pastrami or corned-beef. Its specific originsare hazy, but the dish comes from Montreal’s traditional Jewish delicatessens of the early 1900s.

It should come as no surprise that in Quebec, baked beans are seasoned with maple syrup. What might surprise you is that this hearty Quebec dish is often served at breakfast. It might sound odd, but I think the sweetness in the slow cooked beans works wonders with bland eggs. Fèves au lard means “beans with fat”, with the fat element coming from sa...
You’d be hard-pressed to find a more traditional Quebecois food than pea soup. When Samuel de Champlain discovered “New France” 400 years ago, his ships were stocked with dried beans and salted meats, all of the ingredients for pea soup. It’s often called “habitant pea soup”, named after Canada’s first settlers, or habitants, from France. Nowadays,...

Hot chocolate at the Café-Bar Artefact in Quebec City’s Auberge Saint-Antoineshould really be added to those lists of things you have to do ...
Tarte au sucre, or sugar pie, is a must-have in Quebec. Similar to the treats of the same name in northern France, the Quebecois version is all about the maple syrup, instead of simple sugar. It’s basically maple syrup in pie-form. Sometimes cream is added, because it’s a well-known fact that food with more calories is tastier. One of the best spot...
If you like the idea of maple syrup with cake, you should try pouding chômeur. It translates to “unemployment pudding”, which may not sound very appetizing, but believe me, it’s fantastic. The name came about during the Depression because the dessert is made from inexpensive ingredients that most families would have on hand. Essentially, it’s a whi...
This is another Quebec food originating in early 20th century Jewish delicatessens in Montreal. The Montreal-style bagel is smaller and denser than its New York counterpart, and made in a wood-fired oven. Fresh out of the oven, hot and steaming, they really hit the spot on a winter day. There are two main rivals in Montreal’s bagel business. The ph...
Quebec is renowned the world over for its maple syrup. A traditional Canadian springtime treat is maple taffy, or “tire sur la neige”. Usually served at sugar shacksas part of end-of-winter celebrations, the taffy is formed by pouring hot, boiled maple sap directly onto fresh snow. This results in a soft maple taffy that you have to eat right away....
