I have been to Quebec City and have stayed at the Chateau Frontiac. Loved it. Quebec City reminds me of a small section of Paris. The architecture in reminiscent of Paris and everyone speaks French..... It is a great food town. There are many excellent bistros on the pedestrian street, but the place I would recommend for your birthday dinner is Toast. On the map, it looks like it is just a couple of blocks from your hotel - and it is - except the Chateau Frontiac is on top of the hill and the restaurant is at the bottom. But the atmosphere is nice and the food is delicious. For cocktails, the best place is the round bar in the lobby of your hotel.

I haven't been there in years (also stayed at the Frontenac, beautiful hotel), but I did have a memorable meal at Le Saint-Amour

We went in August and I really enjoyed Chez Boulay.

Your hotel is right next to the funicular, so it will be super easy to get down to the Lower Town, which I really enjoyed. Also, make sure to check out Montmorency Falls and Ile d'Quebec while you are there. Ile d' Quebec has some neat little vineyards that are fun to stop at. The tastings are really cheap.

Right around the corner is a great old restaurant Aux Anciens Canadiens.

It's outstanding. Frontenac Concierge desk can make reservations.

Also Cafe Du Monde (not like ours).

Le Petit Chateau is pretty good and it’s steps away. Or take the trolley down to Rue Du Petit Champlain there’s plenty to choose from or make your way down to Rue St Jean St. tons in that area. If you go to Rue St Jean stop by Paillards for pastries.... Chic Shack on Fort St might have the game

Downtown is very interesting and a great area to walk. If possible, visit the Ile d'Orleans. It is a short distance east of town as is the Montmorency Falls area. The island produces strawberries and wines. Bring a warm jacket.

Le Lapin Sauté served me one of the best meals of my life. Seriously, I recommend it strongly.

The Museum of Civilization is absolutely fantastic- there’s so much history in the area and the special exhibitions are typically great.

The aquarium has walruses- that’s pretty rare and I really enjoyed my trip there.

Yeah. We ate there. That was one of the places I was referring to above when I was recommending the French bistros on the pedestrian street. Second best meal I had in Quebec City behind Toast.

Toast cancelled on me and now it’s permanently closed! Heartbreaking...

You are right. Toast is Toast. I just looked it up on Trip Adviser. It is closed. That is surprising because when I was there it was the hot spot in town and reservations had to be made in advance. The food was excellent and the place was atmospheric. This was just a few years ago; in fact I was there the week Les Miles was fired. My recommendation would now be Le Lapin Saute.

We are here a couple of months ago as well. I really enjoyed it. Got the trio of filets. They had to roll my fat arse out of there.

Same here! I made a reservation in December 2017. They cancelled on me the day before because of an unforeseen issue (that’s all I know). I’m not sure if they ever opened back up or if that was the beginning of the end.
