This was a food tour of full meals, not just tiny bites! We were told to "come hungry", and were glad we did, when our excellent tour guide, Lynn Rochefort, and her intern, Clara, took my husband and I on a tour of four superlative Quebec City restaurants - with a tomato burrata salad at Va Bene, an Italian restaurant (veggies from the region), a bowl of incredible onion soup made with beer at a microbrewery, Archibald, an amazing meal of shrimp in lobster sauce cooked tableside at the Continental, Quebec City's oldest restaurant, and an original food offering at Le Clan, with farm to table style, and a young chef that is probably due a Michelin star! The tour was well worth the price, and the history of the area was icing on the cake, as it were! She showed us a giant mural of the history of the founding of Quebec City, and led us through some beautiful areas in the early history of QC. It was the perfect way to see the less touristy places in Quebec City.
