Café restaurants in Québec City

  1. A

    Café Krieghoff

    This brilliant little resto is a city classic, with a varied bistro menu, extensive breakfast choices and some of the best coffee in town. If it’s warm, you can watch the comings and goings on Ave Cartier from a table on the massive front porch, or head to the laid-back terrace out back. Inside, the dining room is decorated with reproductions from the café’s namesake artist, Cornelius Krieghoff (1815–72), one of Québec’s master painters of the 20th century, who lived just down the street from here on Grande Allée.

    Le Cochon Dingue

    Since 1979 this ever-popular choice has been serving visitors and locals straight-ahead French standbys, from café au lait en bôl to croque monsieur, sandwiches, steak frites, salads, mussels or quiche. It’s all good day-to-day food and a kid-friendly place to boot. There’s outside seating in warm weather for crowd-watching.
