Behind the Words

Annie Gilbert

This latest version of Ulysses Québec City was updated by Annie Gilbert. A longtime former Québec City resident who returns there frequently, Annie is the perfect guide for your tour of the capital of Québec.

Following her studies in tourism, Annie joined the Ulysses team, where she has held several different positions. She start-ed as a bookstore worker before joining the editorial team, where her in-depth know-ledge has been invaluable in preparing our guidebooks.

Born in the Abitibi region, she is equally at home fishing on a tranquil lake or shopping in a trendy boutique in Paris, New York, or London.

Annie has contributed to several Ulysses guides including Boston, Croisières dans les Caraïbes, Hawaii, and On va où aujourd’hui?

Whether you wish to enjoy a gourmet meal, experiment with creative international cuisine, grab a light healthy snack or simply savour an espresso, your only difficulty will in be choosing among Québec

City’s great selection of romantic restaurants and charming cafés.

This chapter recommends the best places to eat. The selections were made with all budgets and tastes in mind. For the very best, look for the Ulysses label to find our favourite res-taurants.

Although you may have learned differently in your French classes, Quebecers refer to breakfast as déjeuner, lunch as dîner and dinner as souper. Many restaurants offer a “daily special” (called spécial du jour), a complete meal for one flat price, which is usually less expensive than ordering à la carte. Served only at lunch, it usually includes a choice of appetizers and main dishes, plus coffee and dessert. In the evenings, a table d’hôte (same idea, but more substantial and slightly more expensive) is also an attractive option.

Reservations are prudent and in some cases essential. If you are travelling by car to Vieux-Québec, check with the restaurant to see if they offer valet service when you make reser-vations. This will save you a lot of trouble. If they do not provide this service, you should try to find an indoor parking garage. They are usually easy to locate.

h Prices and SymbolsPrices in this guide are for a meal for one person, excluding taxes and tip.

$ less than $15$$ from $15 to $25$$$ from $26 to $50$$$$ more than $50

To find out more about the Ulysses label ù, see p. ***.

h Bring Your Own WineMany restaurants here allow you to bring your own bottle of wine, a practice that often seems unusual to visitors. This tradition stems from the fact that, in order to serve alcohol, an establishment must purchase a rather expensive liquor licence. Consequently, restaurant owners who wish to offer their clientele a more economical solution prefer a licence that allows customers to bring their own wine. In most cases, a sign in the restaurant window indicates whether alcohol has to be purchased on the premises or if you can bring your own (apportez votre vin). This guide identifies restaurants that allow customers to bring their own wine with the symbol V. A complete list of bring-your-own-wine restaurants is included in the index at the end of this chapter (see p. 20).

h Index by Type of CuisineTo choose a restaurant according to its specialty, please refer to the index on page 20. An alphabetical list of all restaurants can be found in the index at the end of the guide, under “Restaurants.”

ùPanache Mobile $-$$Vignoble Sainte-Pétronille, 1-A Chemin du Bout-de-l’ÎleLittle brother to Auberge Sainte-Antoine’s Panache restaurant (see p. 9) in Québec City, Le Panache Mobile is much more than your average chip wagon. It’s a deluxe lunch counter that serves customers from May to October on the terrace of Vignoble Sainte-Pétronille. You can enjoy a guedille au homard (a local variation on the lobster roll) or bison hamburger while admiring the vineyard and the beautiful countryside.

Saint-Jean-de-l’Île-d’OrléansCafé Bistro de la Plage $-$$1180 Chemin Royal, 418-829-3315Just steps from the river, this bistro offers a magnificent view and a menu of fish and sea-food dishes, hamburgers and grilled meats.

Sainte-FamilleAu Goût d’Autrefois $$$-$$$$4311 Chemin Royal, 418-829-9888, www.augoutdautrefois.qc.caThe menu of this country kitchen puts the spotlight on farm-fresh products and features several First Nations-inspired dishes.
