An absolutely unforgettable experience!
This tour was one of the best parts of my trip to Québec. The entire day was thoughtfully planned, from start to finish including a delicious 5-course meal at restaurants were not only famous, but one you’d definitely need to book in advance otherwise.
Our guide was incredibly kind, engaging, and deeply knowledgeable as a local. You could tell they genuinely cared about sharing the city’s culture and history in an authentic way. Being in a small group made us all felt very well taken care of and had a more personalized experience.
The pace was just right, enough walking to enjoy the charm of the city without being tiring. Even if it’s your first time in Québec like me, or if you’ve been here before, this tour has so much to offer. I learned things I never would have on my own!
I can confidently say it was 100% worth every penny and I recommended this to my family and friends!

Come hungry. You will get full. We’ve done tours in other cities where we had small bites at all the stops. This tour ends up being a full meal for sure.

The guide was entertaining and knowledgeable. The food was delicious and the choices were interesting and welcomed. I do have a celiac disease and some of the restaurants were prepared. I did have to clarify with servers about my allergy and twice was given food that wasn't gluten free. Thankfully it was sorted before I ate.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Bonjour Paula! I talked with your guide and you are absolutely right : 2 restaurants did not do a great work yesterday like they normally do at accommodating dietary restrictions. You did end up with the right plates but it was not as seemless as usual.
They both apologize (I called both owners/managers) and they have reminded the procedures to their teams even though they normally do an absolute great job.
Thank-you for reporting this!

Danielle was an excellent guide on the historical aspects of Quebec City and the culinary delights of some of the best restaurants (including a Michelin star one)
We thoroughly enjoyed it!
Lisa_S, Jun 2026
Danielle was fun, knowledgable, took us to great places to eat- highly recommend this tour- great way to try a Michelin star restaurant and more. Our first stop had to die for burrata salad with fresh tomatoes- Ill be dreaming of that for a while.
Tenley_D, Jun 2026
Etienne was a wonderful guide. You need to go hungry to this tour because you are getting a 5 course gourmet meal. The city info was great and the restaurants were lovely. This is worth every penny!
Karen_S, Jun 2026
This was an absolute highlight of our time in Quebec. We did this as an anniversary treat and we were so glad we splurged a bit. Pierre was our guide and he was wonderful. All the restaurants had unique vibes, delicious food and great drinks. If you're wanting to have a special date night in the city, this is the tour to do.
Alan_M, Jun 2026
Excellent knowledge and great restaurants with great food on tour. Guide was excellent with good knowledge of Quebec.
Jolene_C, Jun 2026
If you like high rated foods , this is for you.
Not only do you get the best foods, you also get a tour of city.
Sam our guide was so knowledgeable.
Debbie_B, May 2026
The best! Great food, and service. Not rushed. Good information and history. Wonderful restaurants. Can’t say enough, would do again in a second.
AUDREY_W, May 2026
The tour was great and so was the guide. Food was amazing. If you are hungry afterwards, it's your fault. Would do it again.
Kelly_C, May 2026
Sam, our tour guide, was great! The food was amazing at each of the restaurants. We would definitely recommend this food tour.
Vivian_G, Apr 2026
My husband and I went on this tour and thoroughly enjoyed it. We are foodies. The tour started at an Italian restaurant where we had a delicious salad, then in our next location we had French onion soup. Both great, but the last 2 stops were phenomenal. The food at the Continental and the dessert at Le Clan were out of this world. Wonderful tour
Jennifer_C, Feb 2026
This was the absolute highlight of our trip. Our guide, Luis, was so knowledgeable and personable. The stops on the tour were perfectly chosen, and the food was beyond delicious. Cannot recommend this tour enough.
Our first stop was at Va Bene for a delicious fresh tomato salad served on burrata. We then stopped at Archibald for some delicious French onion soup. Then it was on to Le Continental for some fabulous flambéd shrimp. The last stop was at Le Clan, a fabulous restaurant that prides itself on using only Quebec or local ingredients- farm to table concept. We had an arctic char that melted in your mouth followed by a their take on a bread pudding type dessert. Every restaurant paired their dish with wine or beer.
All in all, this was an excellent experience. We told the owner of the tour company Emilie that we were celebrating my recent retirement and we definitely felt like VIPs on this tour!
Sonya_R, Jan 2026
Danielle, our guide, was absolutely awesome. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the area and shared fascinating insights throughout the tour. Her friendly and welcoming demeanor made the experience even more enjoyable. Every dish we tried was amazing. I highly recommend this tour!
Ariel_S, Jan 2026
I had the greatest birthday experience of my life. My tour guide, Luis was very incredible., knowledgeable and kind. The food was beyond delicious and the experience was everything I wanted.
Marc_a, Dec 2025
My husband and I did the Quebec food tour and LOVED it! Nice variety of restaurants, good drinks, solid food and overall a must do experience if you want to eat your way through Old Quebec and see the town on foot. Since it was early in the week before the crowds arrived, we actually ended up with a private tour. Our tour guide Etienne was phenomenal! Educated about the area, great recommendations, very personable and fun to get to know. He made the experience a true highlight of our trip!
Delores_G, Dec 2025
Delicious food, Knowledgeable guide, great experience. Highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in experiencing Oldtown Quebec
Paula_M, Nov 2025
Good variety of dinner choices and plenty of time spent at each stop. Enjoyed learning about other Quebec City highlights
Theresa_H, Nov 2025
Truly delicious food even for a self proclaimed food snob. Final restaurant was Michelin Bib Gourmand. Marie was an absolutely lovely host, full of vibrancy and knowledge and history and fun. Attended solo but felt like I was out with friends. Highlight of my stay in Quebec City and cannot recommend enough.
Jennifer_F, Nov 2025
Marie, our guide was a true delight. She was informative, fun and knows great food. We enjoyed short walking tours between restaurants. The restaurants chosen for the tour were charming and comfortable with friendly accommodating staff. I would highly recommend this tour for foodies and non-foodies alike.
Sandra_A, Nov 2025
Experience exceeded expectations. Our tour guide Danielle was awesome e and provided great context to the tour.
Troy_M, Oct 2025
The food was wonderful and the tour guides are very knowledgeable. A full meal with paired drinks was provided along with some history. Worth the price and a great way to spend three hours in Quebec city.
Ruby_T, Oct 2025
Surprisingly good! Carol was a phenomenal tour guide and gave us good tips of what to see that may suit our needs.
The food were exceptionally good. The price of the tour is truly a steal!
schreijh, Oct 2025
Had a tour with Vincent and he was great. He provided us with so much history about Quebec that alone would have been worth the tour……but the food was beyond amazing. His knowledge and relationship with the restaurants helped make our food portion of the tour so amazing.
Wish we could bottle this tour and get the same service at so many places we have visited!
Rick_D, Oct 2025
Absolutely the best food tour we have been on in any city. Our guide had selected 4 amazing restaurants for our 5 course meal. Every restaurant had fabulous food and wine/beer. In fact we returned to 2 of the restaurants for a full meal on other days we were there. In addition her commentary as we walked was super informative and very interesting.
Rodney_M, Oct 2025
Great walking progressive food tour. The tour took us on a walk in old Quebec City providing great history of the area with stops at 4 restaurants for a progressive 5 course meal with alcohol pairing. Maria / Mary was an amazing tour guide.
My only other thing is I would not recommend it if you have mobility issues. We walked over a mile on older streets some with cobblestone. There was also a couple of restaurants with steep stairs and I did not see an elevator.
Loved the experience!
Robert_F, Oct 2025
Carrol was an excellent tour guide.
She had very nice details about all areas. She also knew where to eat & drink, which I plan to use tomorrow…had too much to eat & drink today. Overall, it was a great tour!
BTW, we also had very special company in Dave & Karen.
Thank you for everything Viator.
Denise_P, Oct 2025
Be ready to indulge. The food was delicious especially the panzanella salad. Fresh and wonderful! French onion soup could have had more broth for me but really good! The flambed shrimp was amazing at the oldest restaurant in the city. The Michelin star restaurant served a bowl of some sort. I was not a fan but everyone else loved it. The dessert was pretty good.
Christina_S, Oct 2025
Tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. The food was unbelievably delicious! I would highly recommend this tour.
Kevin_M, Oct 2025
Luis was awesome. The food was very good and his knowledge and kindness was outstanding. We have been on many food tours and traveled the world. This one ranks in our top 3.
