Tour gastronomico della città vecchia di Quebec con 10 + autentiche degustazioni locali
Descrizione
Old Québec è la città più europea del Nord America, e questo tour mette i suoi sapori davanti e al centro. Oltre cinque fermate attraverso strade di ciottoli fiancheggiate da un'architettura vecchia di 400 anni, ti farai strada attraverso secoli di cultura alimentare del Québécois, dal comfort food rustico ai raffinati ingredienti locali. Inizierete con funghi criniera di leone e carpaccio di petto d'anatra, per poi riscaldarvi con il sacro trio della cucina tradizionale del Québécois: zuppa di piselli setosa, paté chinois salato e taffy d'acero fresco. Una casa di 200 anni serve gnocchi fatti a mano bagnati da cheddar, panna, scalogno e vino bianco con un crumble di aglio nero. Una dolce sosta vi porta sucre à la crème e quello che molti locali chiamano il miglior croissant della città. Poi chiudi nell'unico modo che dovresti: con la poutine. La domenica e il lunedì, la sosta degli gnocchi viene sostituita da un risotto all'avena riscaldato coronato da un'insalata di gamberetti. I gruppi sono tenuti piccoli in modo che ogni sosta sembra personale.
Opzioni del tour
Itinerario
Il tour si svolge all'interno delle mura dell'antico Québec, nel quartiere storico.
L'iconico grand hotel che domina lo skyline del Vecchio Québec. Simbolo della città arroccata sopra il fiume St. Lawrence, è uno dei monumenti più fotografati del Canada e un fulcro della storica città alta.
Sede del governo municipale di Québec City, una sosta architettonica notevole nel centro storico
La passerella in legno che costeggia il fiume San Lorenzo accanto al castello Frontenac. Offre ampie viste sull'acqua ed è una delle tappe panoramiche intessuta nel percorso a piedi attraverso il Vecchio Québec.
Nascoste tra le strade acciottolate del centro storico, due delle curiosità più affascinanti del Vecchio Québec sono affiancate. Il primo è un piccolo edificio stretto spesso chiamato la casa più piccola del Nord America, il tipo di gemma nascosta che la maggior parte dei visitatori passa davanti senza una seconda occhiata. Proprio accanto sorge lo storico Convento delle Orsoline, fondato nel 1639 e sede della più antica scuola femminile del continente. La tua Guida porta il contrasto alla vita, condividendo le storie eccentriche, sorprendenti e talvolta toccanti dietro entrambi, il piccolo e il grande, in una sola fermata.
Il famoso orologio svizzero di Québec City, un eccentrico punto di riferimento locale che la Guida indica lungo il percorso mentre condivide la sorprendente storia della città.

What a fun and delicious walking tour! (Even if we got caught in the rain!) Sam, our guide, was easy to understand and very well versed in the history of Quebec City. I was told this tour had plenty of food and they were right. (It starts at 11AM so skip eating an early lunch before going.) It is a 3 hour tour and well worth the time. We had Quebec style pea soup- delicious. A duck breast carpaccio- good! Maple taffy- yummy. Quebec style maple fudge- to die for. At another stop a house-made croissant that is the best I've had anywhere- including Paris! Some other items were included and, of course, poutine (an eastern Canada staple) which seems to be soggy french fries with canned gravy and cheese curds. Yuk. (I went on two food tours in eastern Canada this trip and had poutine both times. Yuk again.) At one stop we were served an "oat risotto crowned with a small rock shrimp salad"- it wasn't just me- three other people on the tour said it was terrible, sorry. I eat like a horse and was full after this tour. All in all, it was both a fun and delicious way to spend 3 hours in Quebec City. Would I do it again? Yes!
Excellent. Guide was great and so was the food. Learned a lot from our guide. He had great knowledge of the city. He was very personable and pleasant.
Claude was a wealth of knowledge about Quebec and the importance of food in its history and culture. Great tour!
Claude was excellent. Very knowledgeable about Quebec City history.
Sam was a wonderful tour guide. He was knowledgeable and added just the right amount of personal anecdotes and humor. The food on the tour was excellent!
Some places are best discovered when someone else knows where to take you. We hope the stops we chose gave you a few of those discoveries. It was a pleasure having you with Secret Food Tours!
The reviews did not disappoint. This was a fun way to get to know Quebec's old town and try some of the local cuisine. Sam, our tour guide, was well-informed and engaging and managed to make himself heard even through construction and the rattle of garbage cans (it was trash day). As one member of our party said, "This was the first tour I've been on where I got to learn something without getting a backache -- and eating." 'Nuff said.
A good day doesn’t always need a packed itinerary. We hope you had time to enjoy the food, look around, and simply settle into the neighborhood with us. Secret Food Tours was pleased to have you along!
This was a wonderful food tour and our guide, Vincent, was excellent. The food was so good that it was difficult to pick a favorite stop. Vincent did an awesome job of peppering in an assortment of local facts and history, as well as highlighting interesting tid bits on the dishes that we sampled.
The city has plenty of familiar faces, but there’s always another corner waiting to be discovered. We hope the tour helped you find a few of them. It was great having you with Secret Food Tours!
Great way to see the city! Tricia was an extremely knowledgeable guide and the restaurants were fun. Highly recommend!
Meeting guests from different places is one of the things that keeps these tours interesting. We’re glad your travels brought you to our door. Thank you for being part of Secret Food Tours!
Our tour guide, Sam, was great - knowledgeable and friendly! He was also very helpful with all of us who hadn’t been aware that the tour wasn’t all inclusive of any drinks that would be served. Many on our tour had to be alerted to pay extra for that on the spot, which took time and attention away from the experience. The company could have clearer messaging.
Thank you for sharing your perspective, Jessica. We do appreciate your feedback regarding the drinks and understand how a detail like that can take some attention away from the experience. We’ll certainly keep your comments in mind as we continue refining how we communicate the different options available, as we do offer drink upgrade options for guests who would like to further appreciate the local tastes and flavors of Quebec City. We’d love to welcome you back to Old Quebec again in the future and give you another opportunity to enjoy the food, stories, and flavors of the city!
Sitting in popular restaurants, trying so many local foods, hearing so much architectural history, I highly recommend this tour.
Thank you for being part of the Secret Food Tours experience. We hope you felt comfortable from the beginning and enjoyed the day as much as we enjoyed sharing it with you. We look forward to having you with us again!
