Driving to Quebec in October and looking for suggestions on what area to stay in and things to do while there. Would prefer a decent hotel or bed and breakfast with parking $200/night within 30min of a busy area with a lot to see and do as well as good restaurants. I visited the Citadelle 20yrs ago and saw lots of great weapons, otherwise will need suggestions. Thanks
I’m assuming you’re headed to QC City. Where are you planning at crossing? Pittsburg, Corbin Gore, Jackman? Hotel Frontenac is the best hotel. Old QC has several good restaurants. The Continental is my favorite.

We’re staying in old Quebec, not at but near Hotel Frontenac. Appreciate the restaurant recommendation.

Derby Line crossing in town is definitely old school. The Derby Line crossing on 91 is pretty big. Depending on your route/time day, be careful speeding around Sherbrooke. If you have time, the view after you cross into QC at the Pittsburg/Chartierville crossing is absolutely beautiful.

To say that you are on thin ice would be a vastly optimistic view of your current situation. The ice has melted. You are being supported by the surface tension of water.

You know it. Squeaky cheese and sauce made with cheval meat.

Poutine has evolved to the point where gravy/sauce can be just about anything that flows. There’s a Brasserie in MTL that took their club sandwich poutine off the menu, but anytime I’m in there, they make it for me. It’s fantastic.
for store food that's unique to Quebec, go tot he local grocery stores and buy some Creton. Great on toast. it's a spiced pork spread. Also if you like soda's, find a bottle of Spruce Beer (bière d'épinette) - one of my all time favourite sodas.
