Experience some must-try restaurants
Québec’s food culture originated with French settlers who cooked with local game, herbs, and vegetables, as well as English and Indigenous influences. Home-grown Québécois classic dishes developed since then such as tourtière (meat pie), pea soup, baked beans, sugar pie, fire-baked Montreal-style bagels – and, of course, poutine – remain very popular.
