Top 10 Hidden Gems Things to do in Quebec City, Canada

April 8, 2022 Phylicia Berquist

Quebec City may be the only fortified city north of Mexico, but it welcomes visitors with open arms. Explore the Citadel, where you might catch Canadian troops staging a military ceremony. As for food, you could splurge on afternoon tea at the Chateau Frontenac, or do as the locals do and snack on poutine—french fries with gravy and cheese curds.

The massages were amazing, we could feel that they know what they're doing! Glad we went to this spa! My wife asked the massage therapist to focus on her neck especially and they did it perfectly, I also loved that they asked how much pressure we would like and if it's comfortable.

We had the BEST time at our cocktail making class. There were 12 of us and Jeremy was our bartending instructor. He was so much fun and really got us excited and actually learned some fun facts. The drinks were delicious and we had tapas in between each drink that were just as good. They play really fun music and Jeremy was so patient and accommodating with us (a group of 12 can be loud lol). I would highly recommend this activity for groups and request Jeremy as your instructor!

J.A. Moisan Epicerie

An old grocery store in operation since 1871.

Reviewed By Shoregirl82 - Washington DC, United States

This grocery store has a little bit of everything - premade foods, snacks, maple everything, dried pasta, toiletries, candies. The first night I was in town, I went to grab a few snacks and a quick dinner. Towards the end of my trip, I went back again to buy some souvenirs for friends. If you can't find something in here, I don't know where you'd find it. It's worth going just to see the inside of the store, which I couldn't get over the quaintness without feeling kitschy.
