I had to google map it. Opposite of La Malbaie- Baoe St Paul area in Charlevoix it looks like an amazing place to visit. They have an bountiful selection of their ciders present that ranges from the regular apple to blueberry and what I came for was the Plum and Pear ciders. They do offer a light tasting and man...it's unbelievable. You see when I first came to Quebec I was on a huge apple cider kick that I went bananas for the first year I was here. Now...... I only care for the ice cider as it's much more concentrated. The other stuff I don't care for at all now. The Plum cider called Dame Prune is amazing (very light 6.5%)! So amazing I bought four bottles this trip plus two of the pear. They sell for $18 a bottle or 3 for $45. So (being the thrifty Manitoban) I went for the bulk discount. They also have apple butter (which I was told to buy because it was deemed amazing) plus many other jellies and jams. The apple butter. I think okay but I'm not a huge jams and jellies person in the morning. My wife really likes it though! The products here are simply awesome and make a great Quebec gift if you are from out of town. I will definitely be back for more cider!

We were craving spice in Quebec City and set out looking for Asian food. That search led us to…read moreMadame Phan. Both of us--coming from different parts of Asia--were hopeful. The food? It was okay. It gave us the spice fix we needed, but it wasn't authentic. I wish I could rate it higher, but I feel a responsibility to be critical when it comes to Asian cuisine. Too often, Asian food is watered down for Western taste buds. It's a disservice to the cultures it represents. Quebec City already feels deeply European, and I would love to see more pride in showcasing Asian food as it really is. Here's the truth: authentic food usually outperforms the "tailored-to-locals" version. People rise to the occasion when they're given the real thing. Sadly, what I often see--here included--is the opposite. Local diners leave thinking they've "experienced Asian food" when, in fact, they haven't. The first red flag was in the description itself: "Asian." Asia is vast and diverse. Expecting one restaurant, or one chef, to represent it all is impossible. It's like walking into a place that claims to serve all European food under one roof. Unrealistic by definition. So, no, Madame Phan isn't authentic. But it did serve its purpose: it gave us something spicy when we needed it. I just wish more restaurants here leaned into authenticity rather than compromise. Because authentic Asian food deserves better than this.

Quebec City isn't exactly known for authentic or high-quality Asian cuisine, so it's best to keep your expectations in check. This place is about as close as you'll get. The pho wasn't authentic--the broth tasted more like beef bouillon, so I'd skip that. The Thai chicken had a good kick of spice, and the General Tao's was actually pretty solid. Overall, there aren't many Asian food options in the city, but this place gets the job done.

Even so, we were pleasantly surprised--it still hit the spot, especially in the context of missing home flavors. They also provided three unique spicy sauces, which added a nice variety to the dish.

Most of my other saved destinations were only open for dinner. Sat in the patio. I enjoyed everything which came with the tacos. A vibrant salad and excellent garnishes.

Sadly the tacos have four options but for the plate you only get one choice. I enjoyed my dish but the only thing to improve were some of the meat was a tad dry, but the salsas bolstered the flavor.
