Savvonerie Ferme Audrt, because it is difficult to get goat milk ice cream back home.
We did a bike tour around the island that included cheese, wine and strawberry tastings.

Le Petit Coin Latin has the best croissants and latte. Very friendly server/cashier. The place was clean and the ambience is very relaxing. Also an instagrammable venue for photos.
I loved strolling the Chateau Frontenac, old Quebec City, and the Plains of Abraham. It has such a very European vibe. We visited the Aquarium, we hiked Mont Sainte Anne and it's beautiful. Quebec is definitely a must see!
For families traveling with kids, there are a lot of activities you can do. There is the aquarium, water park, indoor amusement, hiking trails, and many more. Make sure to bring clothes that you can change into for the day because the weather is crazy 🤣 it changes every hour (we'll exaggerating) maybe every 2-3 hrs lol! But in August, you could get sunny morning, rainy noon time and sunny afternoon and then rain again at night. Bring ponchos or raincoat every where you go.

Too many good ones to choose from. We loved them all.
Staying at the Chateau Frontenac, visiting the Quartier Petit Champlain
Not really because my kids are older so they're easy.

Le continental had delicious food and amazing service. The table side flambé creates a unique experience. We loved Ciel for the food and being able to see all of Quebec. We also loved Le Saint Amour such a wonderful dining experience that elevated our tastebuds.

Aux Anciens Canadiens. We ate there on our honeymoon 52 years ago and we eat there every time we go to Quebec City. Their BED ( Bison, Elk, Deer) dish is amazing and the wild blueberry pie for dessert is a must. Their Maple Syrup Whiskey drink to finish off the meal makes it a perfect ending.
Walking & exploring the small streets of Base Ville and checking out the historical places.
The secret is not to be in a rush. No check list, just let your feet guide you to wherever it leads you.

Rioux & Pettigrew - amazing romantic dining experience for fine dining Crepe Breton - fun and casual, good value and delicious
There are so many festive decorations in all the parks. We had a great time at the Musée de Civilization
If you can, splurge and stay in the old city for some real romance! But bring good walking shoes (or boots if you got married in the winter). If you are celebrating any time other than spring, get ready to cuddle and bring some warm clothing - the wind up in the walled city is chilling!

Beclub Bistro was nice. Their food was delicious, the place was so cozy, and the service was great. Our server was friendly and accommodating.
Walking around Old Quebec and exploring its history was great.
Petit Champlain and Chateau Frontenac are a must see if anyone plans to visit Old Quebec. Old Quebec is so beautiful and romantic!

Want great food, great customer service, AND a great location? Visit Le Lapin Sauté! Every dish we tried was delicious. Annie, our server, offered some vacation tips we appreciated, and the hostess volunteered to take a group photo of us without us even having to ask!
1. Try the Old Quebec Food Tour! You get to walk around the city, learn some history, and eat some of the best local dishes QC has to offer. 2. Do the thermal experience at Strøm Spa in Old Quebec. It's life-changing.
If you can, try to stay in Old Quebec. We rented a lovely AirBnb that comfortably fit all nine of us, AND had a free parking space included. That way, you're in the heart of the city and can walk virtually anywhere!

Le Hobbit - we went back twice! Also Restaurant Albacore on the waterfront and Bistro St-Malo. We enjoyed amazing sea food and vegetables on our trip! We can't wait to return.
Quebec City is the oldest remaining walled city in North America, but it will transport you far beyond it’s city walls. Cobblestone streets, quaint cafes and boutiques on every corner, especially in the picturesque Quartier Petit Champlain. With sweeping views of the Saint Lawrence River, you can't miss the Fairmont Le Château Frontenac, including 1608 Bar for parent's night out. Meander along Rue Saint-Jean for a bit of people watching. As you move further away from the Old Town, you will experience more everyday life.
Be flexible and enjoy every moment! Remove all expectations and your kids may surprise you. Turns out our 4-year old daughter loves oysters and tall windows where she would sit on the sill greeting every passerby, "Bonjour!"

We did not eat outside the Chateau Frontenac
We loved exploring Place Royale and the cruise on the St Lawrence was very informative.

The restaurant options in Quebec City are endless and all so good. We went to La Maison Smith almost every morning to get coffee and breakfast. Its such a lovely atmosphere and the coffee & pastries are even better :)
As simple as it seems one of our favorite activities was just walking the old city to see the architecture. We also loved how much history was in this city and reading about it as we walked around.
Definitely make the splurge and stay at the Fairmount Chateau Frontenac! They treated us like royalty and even had an anniversary gift for us in the room when we checked in.

Stay in Old Quebec, even if it means not having access to your car. Honestly, you won't need it!

We live in a tourist town so we know what it's like for guest to come and not see the "real" city. We also know what it's like person who lives in a tourist city have to deal with tourist. Quebec City is very much a tourist city. We opted to go during the off season and it was the best thing for us. I would suggest taking it slow and not having things planned because if you meet someone like we did, they may put you on a completely different path of experiences. We intend to come back during "tourist season" because we were told that while you need to more disciplined with your reservations and planning, the city has a different feel during the summer months. I can't wait to see how the winter carnival and winter experience compares to the summer experience.

Let your inner kid come out and take a ride on the Dufferin Terrace. Great views from the top and lots of fun as you slide down, you wont regret it!

Stay at the Chateau Frontenac or at one of the many smaller hotels in the heart of the old town Quebec City and strap on your favorite walking shoes. Restaurants, shopping and some of the most photogenic scenes and architecture are within walking distance.

We rented a car to explore the city. The best light to take picture is before the sunrise and after the sunset. I am glad that we had a great memory during the sunset.

Its probably worth it to rent a car for a day or two in order to extend your trip into some of the little villages and towns outside of the city proper.

Eat in the lower town - so many cute open air cafes and restaurants! A meal in the Chateau at Bistro le Sam overlooking the St Lawrence river is a must! And taking your time wandering the Dufferin Terrace, enjoying the live music and performers, is wonderful.
