It is when you start
eating
in Quebec City that the French ancestry of the Quebecois hits all the senses: the eateries of the city present an array of culinary delights adopted from the mother country, from beautifully presented gourmet dishes to humble baguettes.
Whether you are on a tight budget or not, Quebec's lively
cafes
are probably where you will want to spend your time, washing down bowls of soup and croutons (toasted baguettes dripping with cheese) with plenty of coffee. Decked out in a variety of decors, traditional to stylish, they are always buzzing with activity, as students and workers drop in throughout the day. As you might expect, Vieux-Quebec is home to most of the gourmet
restaurants
and cafes, but other areas - notably along rue St-Jean (quirky and cheaper) and Grande-Allee (generally touristy and expensive), just outside the city walls - have their fair share. Your best bet for good-value mid-price restaurants is to head for avenue Cartier near the Musee du Quebec, with its numerous terrace-fronted restaurants. Other useful information
