The gastronomic world is not without its creativity. In fact, many of Québec City’s chefs are known far and wide. Drawing from renowned know-how, the city is also a source of inspiration for young culinary artists who boldly create original, delectable dishes that delight every sense.
Epicureans will enjoy the quality and diversity of the ever-changing creations, which may feature some unusual pairings, but are sure to please even the most discerning palate. Our chefs take great pride in using local ingredients. Know that the plate set before you with a flourish is the result of a wonderful partnership with the region’s growers. It is no wonder that there are so many restaurants per capita. Quebeckers enjoy good food and our chefs know it.
Power lunch
To maximize concentration and lower the risk of dipping energy levels, it is a good idea to opt for healthy foods at your meetings and events. For lunch, order chicken and fish: meats that are light and provide enough protein to keep you going all afternoon. Eat with a side of steamed or sautéed vegetables, a baked potato or generous serving of rice.
Gourmet Pizza
Ever had Louisiana-style alligator pizza? Impress your guests by reserving one or several tables at La Pointe des Amériques, at the Hôtel Classique in Québec West. The restaurant’s main goal is to surprise your taste buds. Choose from an impressive list of gourmet pizzas: tandoori chicken, Peking duck, buffalo, braised lamb and candied lemons… as well as other local and international specialties. As for drinks, the unique Le Cellier des Amériques option allows you to purchase your wine by weight. And there you have it… the perfect outing!
Soba Fusion
Business clients who patronize Hôtel Clarion will be pleased to know that a new Soba Asian bistro has opened near the hotel. The contemporary restaurant (run by the owners of the 47e Parallèle restaurant) joins the ranks of Québec City’s gourmet restaurants with its fusion cuisine and oriental noodles. Soba, which means buckwheat noodle in Japanese, also playfully refers to Chef Joseph Sarrazin (sarrasin meaning buckwheat in French).
Victorian Style
In the heart of Vieux-Québec, Hôtel Manoir Victoria offers two menu formats and two very different settings for your business meal: La Table du Manoir open at lunch for business meetings, and Chez Boulay - bistro boréal. The first is known for its sumptuous furnishings and refined cuisine featuring locally-grown ingredients in season. The second offers a Nordic-inspired cuisine in a friendly bistro-style atmosphere with a new trendy decor.
360° Dining
Astral, Loews Hôtel Le Concorde’s rotating restaurant, appeals to business clients seeking great food and a spectacular view.

A World of Flavours with Marie-Chantal
