I passed by Queues de Castor and I was interested to see what it's about! It's basically a thin fried dough with toppings on it. I think they call it beaver tails. I had their pistachio and honey, and I really enjoyed it! Since it's drizzled with honey, it could get sticky though. read more

Though not the biggest fan of poutine, the product was as expected for fast food fare. Would've expected the cheese to be gooier. read more

We stopped into Queues de Castor in Old Town Montreal. If you haven't ever had a beaver tail, you must. What is it you wonder? It is fried dough, with your choice of toppings. This was our second time having a beaver tail, and this one was our favorite only because of the toppings we chose. We stepped into the little shop and ordered at the counter and took a seat at a table. We ordered the Maple Beaver Tail. It was fried dough shaped to look like a beaver tail, hence the name. It was topped with maple syrup which is by far the best in Canada, and drizzles of chocolate. Yum, Yum, Yum! The shop was bright, cheerful and spotlessly clean with all the tables freshly wiped down. It certainly isn't a diet type food, but who cares when it is this crunchy, sweet and scrumptious. read more

Walk up stand for beaver tails. They also have ice cream and poutine. What is a beaver tails? Essentially a fry bread style donut. They add toppings. We did the mEHple - maple syrup, maple Crunchies, and dark chocolate syrup It was so good. The tail came out quickly. It was hot and fresh. So so so good. It was super messy to eat but I think that's to be expected. There's only a few benches so it's more of a grab and go place but it was worth it. read more

We recalled eating beaver tails during our previous visit to Canada, so wanted to have it again in Quebec. Found this little shop in the lower city of Quebec and popped in for a classic beaver tail with cinnamon. There is not much seating, and we had to squeeze by another group to sit. They mainly feature sweet and savory beaver tails but also have coffee and ice cream. No fancy coffee drinks though, to the consternation of some other visitors. I wanted to tell them, hey this isn't Starbucks. Go somewhere else if you want fancy coffees. Anyway, got our fix and it was relatively inexpensive for mid-day snack. read more

Oh yes! Beaver tails! No silly, these are not the actual tails of beavers, they are long pieces of fried dough shaped in what looks like the tail of a beaver. Then you get your pick of toppings of what to put on it. It is that simple, and tastes great because of it. The price is great too! I got mine with strawberries, bananas, and a hazelnut spread and loved eating it. This is a great dessert or midday snack. If not for expanding waistlines I would have had one each day I was in Quebec City, but a one time deal is good enough for someone in his early 30's. There are not many places to sit inside, so be prepared to eat one on the go. No matter, it will still taste great. read more

Most delicious thing I had in Quebec City! I'm not a guy that goes for overly sweet things, but I will recommend the beaver tails! I was quite skeptical about this place as I entered the store, but the bread base they used was a chewy/crispy pizza crust consistency topped with whatever you want. I got the Bananarama, which was a Nutella and sliced bananas on the flat bread. They were extremely generous with the Nutella that I could only take a few bites and was happy the share the rest with my sister and mom. But overall, I was amazed by the flatbread and how the bread and Nutella/banana complemented each other. I couldn't stop thinking about getting another beaver tail. Next beaver tail will be the La Classique! read more

I was told that beaver tails were a must-try dessert in Quebec! It is fried donut dough shaped into a large oval shape (like a beaver tail!). I ordered the Bananarama, topped with chocolate hazelnut spread and banana slices. It was delicious, and the combo of the spread and banana slices was just the right amount of sweetness. read more

BeaverTails are way better than I expected. When I saw people eating them at other locations I thought they were some fried firm dough bread with slather of chocolate, hazelnut or vanilla cream and would be overly sweet. They turned out to be soft, chewy roundish fried dough that's airy and light. I got the Killaloe Sunrise, which is a cinnamon sugar topping just like a churro but it also comes with a wedge of lemon for you to squeeze onto. The lemon might sound strange but it actually worked well with the cinnamon sugar and it's delicious! Definitely try a BeaverTail even though it seems like a tourist trap. It's a nice treat and I would get it again if I ever come across one in Canada. read more

Beavertails are so good. If you're from America, it's much like an elephant ear but better!

Got the classic beaver tail twice - delicious both times. Will definitely go again when I'm back in town.

My first time eating beavertail. I ordered avalanche ( cream cheese and caramel), it's fresh made and so good. For those who doesn't have sweet tooth, the caramel candy probably a little too sweet for you. read more
