One of our favorite restaurants with a laid back decor and high end food. You're better off reserving well in advance. This is in Saint-Roch so you might want to grab a cab or plan on a 25-30 minute walk.

Île d'Orléans is only about a 15 minute drive from downtown Quebec City or Old town. The island has lots of history and some of the oldest (private) homes on the continent. There are lots of agricultural activities including u-pics for all sorts of fruit and wine tasting.
