Luxury Journey

Haute Cuisine with Flair

Among the area’s elite fine dining venues is undoubtedly Initiale in the Old City. The tasting menu, with wine pairings artfully concocted by chef Yvan Lebrun, is the epitome of refined French cuisine. The intimate atmosphere at this celebrated Five Diamond–rated Relais & Châteaux restaurant is worthy of even the grandest occasions.

No epicurean tour of Québec City would be complete without a visit to Le Saint-AmourRestaurant. Its authentic Québec terroir–studded menu has earned chef Jean-Luc Boulay such prestigious titles as that of Maître Cuisinier de France
—one of only four in all of Canada. Paul McCartney and Sting are among the many
who have sung his refined cuisine’s praises.
