re: Quebec City

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.
