Restaurants and Bars on Grande Allée

Located on the 28^th floor of Hotel Le Concorde Québec, Ciel! bistro-bar gives you the chance to check out the scene on Grande Allée and take in sweeping, 360-degree views of Québec City. Pull up a chair day or night for tasty dishes featuring local ingredients and sophisticated flavours. It’s popular, so book ahead!

Cochon Dingue is the best spot to have a good brunch, a comforting meal or a dessert. Hunt for the fleur de lys on the menu for an incursion into the Québec terroir. This Quebec-style French bistro is located on the ground floor of Hôtel Le Concorde Québec.

If you’re in the mood for a fancy cocktail, head to L’Atelier, Québec City’s premier cocktail bar. You’ll find an impressive list of drinks and a varied lunch and dinner menu to match. Personalize your tartare or soak up the liquids with a few late-night tapas. A Grande Allée classic that’s always a good option, whether you’re in the mood for food or drinks!

Step aboard for sophisticated surf and turf in a restaurant that feels like a luxury yacht. In the winter, you can even enjoy Ophelia’s distinctive cuisine in a heated bubble on the patio. Land ho!

Located in one of the most beautiful buildings in the area, Maurice Restaurant-Lounge is perfect for meetings and conversations. It offers a culinary experience reminiscent of a fine dining establishment, combining taste and quality.

The grill masters at Faite à l’os have perfected the art of American-style barbecue, from roast chicken to ribs to beef brisket. The weather may be a tad cooler than down south, but the signature smokehouse dishes and combos are worthy of a Texas cookout.

Want to make it a night to remember? Try Louis Hébert, the Grande Allée restaurant that’s a cut above the rest. With its gorgeous stone walls and venerable 40-year history, this charming and elegant establishment is the epitome of fine dining, with impeccable skill and precision from service to plate.

Grande Allée is also fun for families. After a day spent exploring Old Québec and playing on the Plains of Abraham, there’s nothing like a bit of classic comfort food from Québec’s famous chain of chicken rotisseries, St-Hubert. It’s always a big hit with parents and kids!

If you want to be in the heart of the action, pull up a chair at Le Grand Café. The patio on the street corner is perfect for people-watching in the summer. With its view of the National Assembly, the parks, and the Québec City Armoury, it’s one of the best on Grande Allée.

Is Grande Allée a place for cowboy boots? Absolutely! There’s a taste of the Wild West waiting for all you rancheros just around the corner at Jack Saloon, beloved for its Western decor, Tex-Mex food, and evenings of live music. Yee-haw!

This is a tavern with a whole lot going on. Have a drink or enjoy their classic pub fare, like the famous nachos, the veggie burger, or the smoked meat. This is a great place to go for a casual dinner with friends on Grande Allée, to watch a hockey game, or to attend one of the musical performances.

If you’re a hophead, you’ll want to spend an evening at 3 Brasseurs, a craft brewery that’s something of a Grande Allée institution. Try the flammekueche, a kind of thin-crust pizza from northern France, and wash it down with a cold pint or two. Perfect for a meal with friends!

Le Dagobert is a Québec City institution that has kept generations of partygoers dancing until the wee hours. Known to intimates as Le Dag, the club is hotter than ever, with live DJ sets and electrifying dance music. The place to get your freak on!

Known for its fun, casual vibe and many specials, Pub Ozone needs no introduction. In the summer, people line up to get in and spend hours rocking out with their friends. 

INOX is the granddaddy of Québec City microbreweries, having moved up to Grande-Allée in 2008 after spending 20 years in the Old Port. The crowd is young and fun, with a mixed bag of customers who tend to love foosball as much as they love beer. You’ll feel right at home.

Tucked away in these storied stone vaults lies an essential Québec City experience: a “boite à chansons” where you’ll hear folk singers whisper and belt out tunes that have been sung by audiences for generations. Les Voûtes Grande Allée is the real thing!

Société Cigare is a tasting salon popular with the spirit and cigar crowd. The place to go for good conversation and fine libations.  

Newly installed in the basement of Pub Ozone, La Piazz is a bar with live music—the kind of place where you’ll end up on your feet, dancing and singing along to everything from old classics to new hits. Like an Irish pub, but in Québec.
