MEHple

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.

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.

If you are in Canada and you love donut then you must try beavertails. It's a fried bread shaped like a beaver tail. Plenty of toppings to choose. This place also sells poutine.

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.

Maple bacon beaver tail bites

Delicious treat after a night of cocktails! This place was very busy, so that's a good sign. Hot spot for desserts, such as beaver tails and ice cream. I got beaver tail bites with maple and bacon. Soooooooo good!!!!! Excellent and fast service.

The fry doe was large and hot got ice cream to go with it for a warm / cold combo that made both better. Service was nice and quick. Store was small on the inside. No parking

Beaver tails for after dinner or anytime of the day! It is so good that we went back for second before leaving Quebec City. Nice cosy shop and staff prepare the warm crispy crust with your pick of toppings from maple syrup to peanut butter with smarties! A must try when in Quebec City.

Bananarama Beaver Tail
Lily Z.

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.

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!

Bomb fried dessert. I got the Nutella beaver tail and it was delectable. Pretty consistent line out of the building all night. Try it out if you're in Quebec!

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.

I found this place from researching the best, authentic, non touristy poutine in QC. This showed…read moreup. Reviews were high on Yelp and Google. It was also a short walk from our Airbnb. We walked in for a late lunch at 2:30 pm. The staff was very welcoming. The restaurant is not big but it wasn't busy at the time. Prices were reasonable. We ordered the most popular poutine, the gaston medium size. It came with minced steak, onions, sausages, cheese curds, fries, and gravy. I had poutine before in Illinois and I thought it was mid, nothing worth going back for. The Canadian version is way better. The cheese curds taste different than the ones in Illinois and Wisconsin. It was soft and went well with the housemade gravy. The meat and onions were fresh. The fries were soft and not too soggy. The flavor of the whole thing was superb. It's weird that the American versions of other countries' food always taste subpar and off.

Chez Gaston is the kind of hidden gem you almost don't want to tell people about. It's tiny--maybe…read moreten seats if you squeeze--but it feels like stepping into a time capsule in the best way. Old‑school charm, family‑run warmth, and a friendly vibe that makes you feel like a regular on your first visit. When it gets busy (and it does), it's perfect for takeout. I tried the Trio 3 Combo, and wow. The hot dog comes wrapped in butter‑toasted white bread and topped with creamy coleslaw--simple, nostalgic, and ridiculously satisfying. The small poutine that comes with it is loaded with squeaky cheese curds. Not a sprinkle... a mountain. Then there's the Gaston Poutine. This one is a full meal: heaps of cheese curds, crispy bacon, and ground beef all swimming in rich gravy. Hearty, comforting, and honestly one of the best poutines I've ever had. If you love supporting small, local, family‑owned spots--and you appreciate classic Quebec comfort food done right--Chez Gaston is absolutely worth the stop

I was curious about the classic poutine but when I saw the Mexican poutine on the menu, I knew I had to try it. It was so incredibly delicious! It was classic poutine but with beans, corn and other vegetables with guacamole and sour cream on the side. The atmosphere was very cool with music videos projected on a wall. Our waiter was a sweetheart. All four of us absolutely loved our meals that night. What an awesome way to start our weekend getaway in Quebec!!

We tried the India which was a butter chicken sauce with chicken and mushrooms. It was a fun dish with good flavor gravy. Odd choice to me to put mushrooms in it since I've never had butter chicken with mushrooms. The Chicken was thin sliced, I was expecting more like chunks. Regardless this was a solid 4 in my book. We also tried the Hat Trick which is basically a three meat poutine with bacon, ground beef and hot dogs. This was also solid, not as unique, but good. Probably a 3.75. we ordered the mega sized for both, which made the 2 dishes enough food for 3-4 people depending how hungry you are. We wanted the leftovers. The down side to this experience was the service. The place was nearly empty. The server passed us with a pitcher of water in have and didn't even fill the glasses. When we ordered a diet Pepsi instead of getting a fountain drink we got it in a can (both options were in the menu, fountain was cheaper), why not ask us if not sure what we want? At the end we waited a while to see the server and instead just ended up asking the hostess for our to-go containers. Nothing horrible, just meh. The takeaway, pretty good poutine with not so hot service.

Have these people never had a burger before? There's nothing wrong with the burgers here, but there's also nothing right about them. They're burgers. Meat, bread, lettuce, sauces..yep. It's a burger. And it's okay. Bland and by-the-book to a fault. It tasted liked they perfected the art of having minimal flavors and ingredients, as if they were weighing the taste of each in a highly technical way. I forgot I even went here by the next day and was only reminded by pictures I took. It's basically the Quebecois version of whatever one step up from an Applebee's would be, but with a premium price tag and hype. Any other burger in town would probably be just as good if not better. Side was pretty bad. Basically burnt tofu. Service was lacking, but there. I was tended to in the most basic 'there's another table to get through' way possible. Check took a long time to get to me and I ended up just walking up to the counter. Not sure why. There weren't a lot of people there. Tons of seating and a pretty nice view, although that's hard to not have in Quebec City. Can't recommend it with so many other options and delicacies not all that far away. Don't go out of your way to come to this place. Location: 4* Convenience: 2* Service: 1* Product/quality: 3* Aesthetics: 1*

If I remember correctly, there were menus in English to help us pick our food. The staff was really nice though and helped us as we struggled with selecting our poutine.

The girl that took our order was friendly enough and she did the prep too, though she looked like she'd seen better days. No energy, no enthusiasm, that's for sure. Our order didn't take long and it was hot, it just didn't taste that great. I got a poutine with onions and the number of onions was absolutely overwhelming...like I ordered two onions with cheese, fries, and gravy. I couldn't believe how many onions were on it. My wife had a basic poutine and it was much better, just nothing super, super special. The interior decor is like stepping back into 80's, but is beat to hell. Gangsta rap pumping throughout isn't really my thing either, lol. Doubtful that I'd go back.

We ordered the Jr sized India - Butter Chicken and the Hat Trick poutines and they were quite a serving. If you're not that hungry, you can get away with sharing just a Jr size of any of these poutines and get pretty full since it's so hearty. We also thought the restaurant was more upscale looking than we expected and it was incredibly kid-friendly.

They were playing metal which was a bit strange but the waiter was very friendly and switched from French to English very well. I had the veggie burger which was pretty good and the sweet potato fries were delectable. And we also got a Greek salad which didn't have lettuce, a true Greek salad! The veggies were fresh and the dressing was tasty. My favorite thing was the mocktails, I got the sunset and it was so good, perfect combo of sweet and tart from the grapefruit! The second one was great also and had fresh blueberries and raspberry's which I appreciated. Overall it was good and I recommend.
