  1. Choco-Musée Érico

    The exotic smells and sheer number of flavors here will have a chocolate-lover go into absolute conniptions of joy. Try strawberry and basil truffles or the ice cream that comes in orange pekoe tea and beet-and-raspberry flavors. Or go for the chocolate-chip cookie packed with semi-sweet chocolate chunks, dates and black tea. There's a little museum in the back and a window where you can watch the chocolatiers do their work.

  2. Ja Moisan Épicier

    Established in 1871 this is considered the oldest grocery store in North America. The store is beautifully set up and fun just to browse - ever seen black-and-white zebra-striped bow pasta? The products do generally fall on the 'You've got to be kidding!' side of expensive but there will be products here you've never seen before along with heaps of local produits du terroir .

  3. Marché Du Vieux-Port

    This is a local market where you can buy fresh fruits and vegetables as well as dozens of local specialties, from Île d'Orléans blackcurrent wine to ciders, honeys, chocolates, herbal handcreams and, of course, maple syrup products. Weekends see huge crowds and more wine tastings than can be considered sensible.
