Old Quebec Food Walking Tour & Traditional Quebec Food Tasting

Taste your way through
Old Quebec's streets with a local guide

The tour starts in front of La Buchette in Old Quebec and lasts about 3 hours. Stroll along 400-year-old cobblestone streets with a local guide, discover hidden gems, and stop at restaurants and local favorites to experience Quebec's food culture. You'll taste wild ingredients from the forest, authentic dishes passed down through generations, and modern twists on regional classics.

Start with appetizers and Quebec signature dishes

The tour begins with a two-course appetizer of lion's mane mushrooms and duck breast carpaccio. Next, warm up with three Quebec classics: smooth pea soup, savory pâté chinois, and maple taffy freshly made at a traditional sugar shack (cabane à sucre).

Enjoy handmade gnocchi in a 200-year-old house

Step inside a cozy 200-year-old house to taste handmade gnocchi in a sauce of Île-aux-Grues cheddar, cream, shallots and white wine, topped with black garlic crumble. On Sundays and Mondays, a warm oat risotto with a small rock shrimp salad is served instead of gnocchi.

Finish with sweet treats and poutine

Stop by a lane of sweet treats to taste sucre à la crème and a croissant many locals call the best in Quebec City, then wrap up the tour with Quebec's iconic poutine. A secret dish, not revealed in advance, is also part of the experience. The tour ends at Maison Livernois (1200 Rue Saint-Jean).
