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!

Excellent walking tour of the city with stops where we were able to learn interesting details about Quebec's city, then stops for amazing dishes at 4 restaurants (2 dishes at the last). Big portions. Come hungry. Would definitely book this again.
Worth every penny! The food and drink was wonderful. Each stop was a unique experience and very different setting. The entire afternoon was just as described and our host was great!
Danielle was our fabulous, funny and informative guide. All of the food was excellent! Wonderful tour!
We had a great time with Étienne. The food was fantastic and I loved that we basically got a full meal rather than just a tasting. The walking tour between courses was a great way to prep for the next dish and get a little local history too.
Excellent tour fantastic restaurants and amazing meals !! Pierre was an excellent guide. Come hungry, you won't be disappointed!!
We enjoyed the restaurants chosen for us! A nice surprise! Our guide went out of her way to make sure she took us to fabulous restaurants and gave us a history lesson along the way. We enjoyed the people on the tour as well!
Fabulous! Thiis is the first time we signed up for a food tour anywhere, and we did it because the menu looked great for both of us. It was the perfect mix of walking enhanced by our Quebecer tour guide, Marie’s, local history and cultural iinformation plus food and refreshment breaks. Every food course was fantastic! Most people in our group, including us, made reservations again at some of the restauants. We would have gone back to all of them if we’d had time. This was definitely the BEST way to experience the culture and history plus eat your way through Old Quebec!
This was a fantastic guided tour with a personal touch by our guide, who regailed us with historical tidbits and cultural insights. The food was very good and well chosen to give a nice variety. Overall, a wonderful time!
This was such a great way to walk some of the city and get exposed to some terrific restaurants. The food was excellent and I enjoyed learning more about the city from our guide who was fantastic! Thank you vm for a fun afternoon.
Excellent way to experience amazing restaurants! Including Michelin star! Less history, more food, which was OK with me.
Come hungry! Very knowledgeable guide! Excellent food including Michelin location! Would go back to each location!
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!
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.
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!
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.
Excellent knowledge and great restaurants with great food on tour. Guide was excellent with good knowledge of Quebec.
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.
The best! Great food, and service. Not rushed. Good information and history. Wonderful restaurants. Can’t say enough, would do again in a second.
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.
Sam, our tour guide, was great! The food was amazing at each of the restaurants. We would definitely recommend this food tour.
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

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!
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.
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!
Delicious food, Knowledgeable guide, great experience. Highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in experiencing Oldtown Quebec
Good variety of dinner choices and plenty of time spent at each stop. Enjoyed learning about other Quebec City highlights
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.
