Quebec Travel Forum

Hello! We will be landing at Quebec (YQB) airport on Wednesday, August 1 at 23:32 (11:33pm).
1. Is it possible to find a taxi at that time?
2. How much should the taxi cost?
3. Can anyone suggest a decent place to eat around Auberge Saint-Antoine that will still be open past midnight?

Thank you in advance.

around that time. i believe the choice u have only ashton's or mcdonalds.. not far away from the hotel u stayed.

Hi! There should be taxis waiting at the airport, but if not you can either ask the airport staff to call one up for you or there should be a direct phone line near the exit. The flat rate to get downtown is $30. I'm pretty sure most restaurants will be closed in the Petit Champlain area, but if you go up to the Chateau Frontenac, you might be able to find a few pubs with their kitchen still open (you can try Pub d'Orsay: http://www.restaurantpubdorsay.com/index.html or Saint-Alexandre: http://www.pubstalexandre.com/en.html). Hope this helps, have a great trip!

The taxi is indeed 30$ flat rate and they will be waiting outside as you exit the airport. Don't let them take you for a ride. They've been known to try to pull a fast one on tourists here and there (e.g. claim fares are more expensive after 11 pm)

For food here's a suggestion. Less than a 5-minute walk from your hotel, there is a pub called Linox which brews its own beer and serves food all night (http://www.inox.qc.ca/eng/eng_accueil.html). Nothing fancy but it should do the trick and the beer is great. Take a left as you exit the hotel, take immediately a right on the first street you cross and walk all the way to the end of that street and the Linox is right there to your right.

Have fun.

thank you all who answered :-)
