Bonsoir,

My husband and I are from Minneapolis and will be visiting Québec in about two weeks.

I studied French for six years as an adolescent and have spent the past month re-learning and practicing basic conversational French, such as, “Nous détestons Trump.”

It’s important to me that I honor Québec, my Canadian neighbors, and my love of French, so I set my goal to being able to check in at our hotels, order our meals, introduce ourselves, and handle basic shopping in French.

I’m very excited and I know I won’t always get it right, but I don’t want that potential embarrassment to stop me from trying, which brings me to my question. If I falter and the person I’m interacting with starts to speak in English, would it be rude of me to keep trying to speak in French? How would you recommend I handle these scenarios?

We're going to Quebec city dec 18th-22nd! Where is the most romantic/beautiful place to propose to my girlfriend? TIA :) I don't think she's picky if there's people around or not.

Had to redo the post due to spelling error 🤣

Bonjour ! Je m'éssaie ici. Je cherche de nouvelles activités, communautés à joindre à Québec pour sortir de ma zone de confort. Ça peut aussi être des bars mais j'aimerais me faire des amis qui partagent mes goûts musicaux et essayer de nouvelles choses. Peut-être des clubs de poésie ou des activités dans ce genre. J'aime le gaming, la musique, l'art en général. J'ai remarqué qu'il n'y a pas vraiment de bar goth à Québec pour se retrouver. Donc je me tourne vers vous pour activités, soirée, peu importe, je suis ben open ! Merci à l'avance

Bon, j’arrive tranquillement sur la trentaine et je me suis rendu compte que mon cercle d’amis a pas mal évolué avec les années. La majorité de mes amis sont hétéros, en couple, avec des enfants et une vie bien remplie… 😂

Je suis ouvert à rencontrer autant des gars que des filles. Je suis gay, mais ma démarche est vraiment 100 % amicale, sans ambiguïté ni attentes cachées. 😊
J’aime voyager, découvrir de nouveaux restos et endroits, prendre un verre, faire du sport, sortir, mais aussi simplement prendre un café et avoir de bonnes discussions.

Bref, si tu es à Québec et que toi aussi tu aimerais rencontrer du nouveau monde et créer de belles amitiés, gêne-toi pas pour m’écrire! 😎

We are starting to plan our next family vacation and this year we are visiting QC! We are a party of 10 adults and we love food, both casual and fancy as long as its delicious. We love wine, cocktails, and any fun culinary experiences. Any recommendations?

Going to QC for a few days in Oct and looking for food recommendations. Every time I see a post about what restaurant is good though I look it up and it's like $30+ per item, and after tax, tip, maybe a drink, etc. you're looking at $50+ easily. Is there anything that is not like that? Maybe any good local fast food restaurants or diners that are more in the $15-20 range? Also, good cafe recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks!

Brievement, j'aimerais savoir s'il y a des recommandations pour des restos et cafes plus abordable, car la plupart des recommandations que je vois sur Reddit sont typiquement vraiment cheres. Merci!

My husband and I will be visiting your gorgeous city at the end of the month for five days. I’ve been 2 years ago and loved it, and it will be my husband’s first time. I’m curious about a few things and hope you all can give me some advice:

Would you recommend booking a reservation for La Buche for a midweek breakfast/brunch? And what about a midweek dinner? I’ve been to Aux Anciens Canadiens and really enjoyed it, but I’ve read La Buche is so much better. Would you recommend going to both?

Where is the best poutine within, or close to, the old city?

What is the best microbrewery in, or near, the old city?

Do you recommend Le Casse-Crêpe Breton, or is there a better crêperie in the area?

Where do you think has the best coffee in the old city?

Has anyone done the Immersion Quebec Virtual Reality Experience – Quebec City History,** **if so, was it worth it?

We’ll be in the city for the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation. Does the city do any special events for it? I’m thinking of visiting the Musée Huron-Wendat that day, or would another day be less crowded?

Are there any good hikes nearby we could get an Uber/Lyft to, or would that require renting a car? I’ll be 26 weeks pregnant, so I can’t do strenuous hikes

Is there anything else you would recommend going to or doing?

Thanks so much!

Hello,

I’m visiting for an entire month and looking for a list of maybe lesser known or just local favourites that people might want to recommend.

I mainly enjoy downtown city exploration and cafe hopping. Would love if someone wants to recommend a good climbing gym that allows monthly memberships

Hey everybody,

My family is taking the train (coach) from Quebec to Montreal at Christmas. Is it ok to bring your own food and wine onto the train? Not getting rowdy, just wondered if they frown on that.

Thanks

We are a thirty year old married couple from New England visiting for a weekend.

We like music, comedy shows, being active, good food, and history. I know there’s probably more than enough to do by exploring the city but is there anything specific you recommend for that weekend?

looking forward to exploring the city, taking in its beautiful views, historic charm, and culture.
