Great Experience - This tour was a highlight of our trip to Quebec City. Food was outstanding. Wine pairings were nice. Each restaurant was an experience and I would revisit. Our guide Danielle was both educational and very friendly.

Fantastic!!! - We would highly recommend this tour for anyone who loves food and history.
Our guide was very personable and knowledgeable. When we first met, He explained where we would go during the evening. He explained a lot of the history of buildings in the area including the history of the restaurants we visited. OH! And the restaurants on our stops were absolutely wonderful. Very friendly staff and outstanding food and drink.

Excellent food tour - It was primarily a food tour with not much walking- but it was raining so that probably impacted the amount of walking. The food/wine was excellent. My food preference for no mushrooms was accommodated without my asking. Danielle was an excellent guide.

An extraordinary experience - An extraordinary team listening to our needs. A guided tour focused on customer and satisfaction where every little detail takes us back in time. Restaurants with an A1 service. The choice of menus is absolutely delicious. And what about the atmosphere of the Grande-Allée that makes us forget the time. Congratulations to the owner, Émilie Pelletier, who manages to convey her love of Quebec City, who cares about the well-being of her clients and who knows how to surround herself with people of great qualities. I recommend without any hesitation ❤️

Top notch gourmet VIP experience - This tour was top notch! Lyn was a fantastic guide with so much knowledge!! The brief history tour was very informative. This is an area of the city none of us had explored before so there was a lot to take in. The food was spectacular and extremely well curated. We loved that each restaurant had its own story and the attentiveness of the staff resulted in a VIP experience. I highly recommend the tour as well as Emilie for coordinating any other excursions you may want to do while visiting the city.

Worth the time and expense - Great tour and very fun! An interesting and personable guide. Owner is responsive and accommodating.
We visited four restaurants on restaurant row in Quebec city. Great to experience where the locals go for drinks, dinner, and fun. The first restaurant had a live band and each restaurant after that was unique in terms of the decor and tastings. The food was delicious and plentiful. I don’t believe the food was “traditional” French Canadian but more trendy like most big cities. (Special accommodations for vegetarians was no problem! Non-vegetarians were just as happy!) Various good wines served at each stop. We learned a lot about French Canadian heritage and culture.
Highly recommend!

This is a trick you absolutely must try! - I highly recommend this tour!!
We had Marie Côté as our guide and she is more than amazing. She takes the time to talk to us about the city with passion, answer our questions and made us laugh. Growing up in Quebec City, I never expected to learn so much about our history. The restaurants selected were all more amazing than the last, they were tasty and the portions were perfect. No two dishes were alike! We were well received in each restaurant, we were presented with the restaurant, the dish served and the beverage that accompanied it.
The atmosphere of the main alley is very pleasant. This is a street we rediscovered with such a beautiful selection of restaurant!
The owner Émilie of HQ Tourist Services is very attentive and talented.
Thank you for making us live this wonderful gastronomic tour!
