Quebec City has an eclectic and thriving culinary scene and is a joy for food lovers to explore. You’ll find poutine—fries covered with cheese curds and gravy—everywhere, and every local has their favorite go-to poutine spot. Try tourtière, a meat pie served with ketchup, and fèves au lard, which are baked beans served with maple syrup. Hearty pea soup, with vegetables, meat, and peas, is great for warming up on a cool day. French-style creperies are dotted around the city, with a multitude of sweet and savory toppings on offer. Stop in a boulangerie (bakery) where you can pick up a baguette, warm from the oven, with butter and ham.
The best dishes to look out for are those made with local ingredients, from berries and apples grown on the Ile d’Orléans to local cheeses, wines, craft beers, and ciders. There’s maple syrup on every menu; if you have a sweet tooth, try tarte au sucre, a gooey pie made with maple syrup instead of sugar and whipped cream.
