Le Croquembouche had the best pastries of all the shops we visited on our trip to Quebec City! We…read morefinally realized that the places with the best coffee don't have great baked goods, and we ended up here twice (and enjoyed coffee from Nektar next door). I don't love laminated pastries, so my favorite item was the Galette Fruitee (like a mixed berry muffin top with whole wheat & oat flour), I also tried the brioche bressane, and my husband loved the plain croissant, pain suisse, ham and cheese quiche & brownie pops. We also got a baguette tradition to take home!

This was my first trip to Quebec city in many years, so I asked a friend to recommend a pâtisserie…read moreshe loved. Le Croquembouche had what I was looking for. The eclairs and Paris-Brest are so delicious. The crisp choux and creamy fillings were just perfect. The quiche was rich but not heavy. I was mostly there for sweet treats to bring home, so I can't speak to the Vienniosserie or breads, but everything I got was delicious and so, so pretty!

We had zeroed in on staying in the Montcalm section, so we made our visit here a must do. She was only open on the last day of our stay, and we were pleased to see that the chef herself was in residence. In walking in to the tiny space we could immediately see that this is not regular dessert - it is edible art. I wanted to buy everything, but we narrowed it down to a few items - all but one resting in our refrigerator, waiting for an occasion.

La Girolle. What a place to feast yourself. This spot in Quebec is where you come to congratulate…read morelife on food. La Girolle welcomes you with a vintage look and drags you in with one of the best services I have ever experienced in Canada. Then, a server will deliver an ode to the menu and recite each dish like a bard revealing the tales of the Chef and his staff. Deciding on what you will eat after the waiter's epic monologue becomes like a life decision. The Hurt Locker has nothing against this menu. The duck, the seafood, the crème brûlée. Wow. I do not believe in the line of judges where every single one pulls up a 10 after an Olympic performance. La Girolle is the exception. They are Olympians of food and service. J'ai hâte de trouver une excuse pour me rendre à Québec et célébrer quelque chose à cet endroit. C'est comme ouvrir une bouteille de champagne.

My Partner says "I would give them a six if they had one"…read more First of all. They are not kidding. Bring your own wine. No wine brought. You are drinking alcohol free beer with dinner. Which is fine for some. But don't want anyone disappointed. It is a traditional cuisine with a fantastic presentation. Truly. I am not a fan for all of the sauces. But you could help but eat every bite. There is a fixed price for starter and dinner. Then you can add a lm appetizer. I thought that displaced the starter. It did not. So. Be prepared. We walked back to Quebec City to walk off the calories. If you find me on the Appalachian trail in Maine. I might have broken even. Anyhow. We did the Foie grad creamer brûlée. Whoever invented that should be kissed and shot. (But not hurt. Don't want harm). Cause it is so freaking good. The fig parfait on the side was tasty. Would have preferred a different texture as it was close to the creme brûlée. But it all went together. Next was the chèvre Chaud. With diced fennel and apple. Loved this dish. Delicious. Had the lamb. It was very tasty. Again I am not a fan for the sauces. I gave it a five cause it was well prepared. The venison was actually slightly sweet and tasty. Opted out of dessert. Damn. I would be in Pennsylvania before I burned the calories.

Other than that the food was mediocre and personally nothing to rave over. We got the choco coco de lux and scramble grilled cheese. My friend thought the choco coco de lux was decent but we agreed the crepe was delicious. However, I wasn't a fan of the scrambled egg grilled cheese. If you are visiting I would suggest trying more local spot not a chain. The service was slower than expected as it seemed like they were short handed for the amount of people there so it took a while to get our check when we were ready.
