Today we toured the Citadelle. While waiting for the tour to start, I was the lone sentinel on duty.
They took us down to a place that had loopholes where they would fire from.
Sounds boring but got to reach the highest point in Quebec City. Nice views, glad we went.
We then passed through Porte St Louis where there were busts of Winston Churchill and FDR.
We walked outside the walls of Old Quebec City along Grande Allee to the Plains of Abraham. We went by a nice park where the flowers were starting to bloom.
From there we headed to Ave Cartier where we had some quiche at Les Cousins a neighborhood lunch spot. The area is known for its many local restaurants as well as the lamp shades they decorate their street lights with.
For dinner we went nearby to BEClub. The naming convention is short for Quebec-club. It was a small restaurant where the owner served the customers and was very engaging.
We ordered the”orange wine” which is a thing here and a specialty wine. There is nothing “orangey” about it but tasted nice.
At one point the owner wanted to take our picture for his restaurant’s social media account when our entrees arrived. He said being by the window, the orange wine and the fact that we were photogenic would be great. I can’t argue with the guy; we’re adorable!
Seriously, best meal we’ve had yet. Even better than meals we had in Paris.
Bon appetite .
Looks like another wonderful trip Folks – loving the commentary
