I thought that I would be seeing tire d’erable, maple taffy, everywhere in Quebec City. I came to find out that it is a seasonal treat, which makes sense because you need snow to create it. I had resigned to the fact I wouldn’t be having any in the summer time. Walking around Old Quebec we randomly ran into a sugar shack thinking of getting some ice cream when I saw a sign for the taffy. The friendly worker whipped up a fresh batch of the sugary treat, hot maple syrup cooled down on cold shaved ice. Ooygooegy, what a delight!
Erico, 634 Rue Saint-Jean, Ville de Québec, QC G1R 1P8, Canada
In one room you will find a tempting assortment of chocolates, I devoured a delicious deeply meringue. In the adjacent room is a chocolate museum telling the history of chocolate and housing some wild chocolate creations!
Cantook Micro Torréfaction, 575 Rue Saint-Jean, Ville de Québec, QC G1R 1P5, Canada
These people are really serious about their love for coffee. Wonderful brew and atmosphere.
Bars:
Macfly Bar Arcade, 422 Rue Caron, Ville de Québec, QC G1K 3B1, Canada
Probably the coolest bar I have ever been to! A little dive-y, it wasn’t packed and that made me happy. There were tons of old school pinball and arcade games that you can play for free! The colors and retro decorations were incredible. They had a local cider on tap. Seriously, this is my dream bar.
La Korrigane, 380 Rue Dorchester, Ville de Québec, QC G1K 6A7, Canada
A really cool little brewery with some tasty beer. The ambiance is what really got me though. I loved all of the funky art on the walls, the FOOSBALL TABLE, hockey on tv, games to play, a nice big patio, plus the food smelled amazing. Would have loved to try their poutine, next time!
