Quebec Travel Forum

My husband and I are visiting Quebec City from Dec 23th to 28th 2009.
Some basic questions:
1) Is there a website that shows what restuarants will be open on Dec 24th and/or 25th? (I assume many in the city will be closed). Any suggestions where we can go for a nice meal on either of those nights?
2) Where are the best bars/pubs?
3) Is eating at the Chateau Frontenac worthwhile?
4) Can you get to Montmorency Falls via public transport and is it open over the Christmas period?
All suggestions/thoughts welcomed
Thanks S

Does anyone know of a tour or some public transportation that takes one between Quebec City and the Jacques Cartier National Parc?

Is there a border crossing close to Quebec?

My wife and I will be heading to Quebec City in the summer of 2010 for our 25th anniversary. I would like to choose a three or four star hotel (large or small) with a great view of Le Chateau Frontenac and maybe the Saint Lawrence River. We will be walking mostly so something in a good location. Any suggestions?

Hi,
I will be going to Quebec City for holiday with my baby in a couple of days time. I read that the street of some of the attractions are cobblestone. Will I have problem pushing the stoller on the cobblestone street? Thanks.

I was wondering if anyone has ever had the Seafood Buffet at the Chateau
Frontenac, Quebec City. Is it good and worth the cost of $65. Are there any
other restaurants in Quebec City that you would recommend. Thanks!

Hello everyone

thanks!

Hello, I will be traveling with my husband and two brothers (both 20) from May 22-25. I have done some research on hotels, but I still don't know which area is best to stay in QC, is it lower town or upper town. I know the Chateau Frontenac is in the upper town, so I have a feeling this is the area in which to stay, but I don't really know. Can you help me out? We are considering the Hotel Clarendon. What do people think about this hotel?

Also, we will be driving up from Boston and would like to stay about 1/2 way overnight. Any suggestions of an inexpensive, clean place to crash for the night?

Thanks.

Has anyone been on the toboggan ride at the Chateau Frontenac? They bill it with speeds up to 60MPH, looks pretty interesting.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers

I'll be in Quebec city in mid April and wanted to know which area I should be looking at to stay in. I have no concept of how big the city is.

I've seen a few hotels near/in the walled city. Is this a good spot?

I'm looking for a nice area with good restaurants, boutiques, museums, etc and I'd prefer to walk.

Thanks!

What is the lay of the land like in this hotel? Rather posh, can it be a bit "stuffy" if you know what I mean? A laid back Cali, it would be nice to know of any potential land mines prior to a week long stay.

In other words, I'm more of a fine pint beer kind of guy talking about the long lost Québec Nordiques opposed to a politically correct three-pieced suit intellectual conversationalist.

Thanks in advance.

Weather.com lists QC averages with a high of 23F/-5C and low of 8F/-13C.

Besides five layers of clothes and antifreeze (aka pints), does anyone have any advice to battle the Canadian freeze?

BTW, I'm targeting this time frame because I love how they dress the city up in Christmas Spirit amidst all the snow.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers

Hi,

I will be visiting my sister in Easter from Sydney and be staying there for about week. She will have school after Easter Monday, so time with her will be very tight.

I'm a bit concern of the lack of activities to do together since most businesses will be closed in Easter. Does that also include the major tourist attractions?

Any info and suggestion would be helpful.
Thanks.

I'm a Cali and I don't speak the French language. Will that be a problem in QC?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers

Im landing at 19.15 and wondered the best way to get to Quebec City.
We were thinking of hiring a car because of the timing and we have to be back to catch flight to London 3 days later.
Any suggestions on trains/buses as an alternative would be appreciated.

Hi. We are visiting Quebec's Winter Carnival in Feb.
We have 19 mon. girl. We are wondering if a light stroller can be useful or useless due to frozen side walks?

Thank you for your advice.

Hi!

My brother-in-law is moving to Quebec in January, and I thought it would be fun to get him a tab at a local bar or brewery, so he can go somewhere to hang out. Can anyone recommend a good place for this? I'm just looking for a good local place in Quebec City.

Thanks!

We will be in Quebec from December 26, 2008 – January 2, 2009. We would be interested in attending an evening concert, show, play, event, etc. I have not been able to find any events so far. Do you know of any that you can make me aware of? Also, what might be a fun thing to do New Year’s Eve (not into clubs or drinking, however)? Many thanks!

Ive seen some info here on Walking tours available in Quebec City....and theres lots of information that Ive found on-line....Im wondering though if anybody has input on experiences with any particular company...experiences....good and bad...recommendations or warnings...?

Thanks in advance.....Greggor.

Hello - I am planning on attending next year's international music festival in Quebec City. I will be staying at Club Intrawest-Tremblant, 200 Chemin des Saisons, Mont Tremblant, QC J8E 1G1. How far away is that from the festival area and what kind of public transportation is available. Thanks in advance,
Belinda

Hi, do you have any good route suggestions from Quebec to Boston by train. I presume there will be a required changeover as not aware there is a direct link between the 2 cities. It would be ideal if you know where to obtain a timetable schedule.

Thanks

Hello all,

I need to travel from New York to Quebec City. Please does anyone know if it is possible to do this by bus or train? How long does this take? Any Schedule for it?

Hello. I will be visiting QC Labor Day wknd...Aug 30-Sept 3. Can you tell me what the hours are for the farmer's market at Le Marché du Vieux - Port de Québec?

Hi. I'm looking for the name of a bar in Quebec City that I recently went to but have forgotten the name of. I'm pretty sure it was in Vieux Quebec, but I'm not 100 percent. The place had two floors. Upstairs there was a pool table and you could play darts. Close to the pool table there was an outdoor terrace. They also served some food, such as nachos and chicken wings. On the bottom floor they were also serving beer and as the night got older there was live music there, at least on saturday night, we left early the other day we were there so I don't know if there's live music every night. You could watch tv on both floors. I think it's on Rue St-Jean or somewhere in that area or at least around that area. Does anyone know what place I'm talking about?

Pour les connaisseurs.

Hello !

Can we visit Le Chateau Frontenac from inside ?
I can't find this information till now.
Please post a link, if is exist.

I find this place: http://www.canyonste-anne.qc.ca/
Have anyone more photos & info, posted photos, etc. ?

Can we do the Canyon Ste-Anne, basilica Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré and Montmorency Falls in half a day, aprox. 5 hours ?
We intend to leave Quebec City at noon and go to the Canyon Ste-Anne, go back to basilica Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré and finally visit Montmorency Falls. At 5 p.m. we must go into the Montreal direction to rich the city at 8 p.m.

Mersi beaucoup !

HiEveryone:

I am planning on spending a few days in Quebec City and am overwhelmed with the amount of places to stay. Is it imperative to stay within the walls or is it just as easy to stay outside. Looking for someplace quaint but clean.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

Maureen
