DK Travel : Montréal and Québec City

Situated on the mighty St Lawrence River, the sights of these two cities captivate visitors with their history, culture and festivity. Not only were they both major players in the foundation of Canada but their portside locations have kept them at the heart of international commerce, resulting in a harmonious blend of heritage architecture and exciting modern venues that charm all those who come to Canada’s “belle province.”

Restaurant Hélène de Champlain

Guests will be won over at this Ile Ste-Hélène place, with plush surroundings, comfortable sofas, fireplaces and French cuisine.
Restaurant Laloux

Nunavut caribou tenderloin or lamb chops with foie gras flan and truffle jus are just two of the dreamy concoctions here by French chef André Besson.
Restaurant Le Taj

Recommended by Fodor’s and Frommer’s and highly praised by local food-critics. Deeply entrenched in downtown Montreal for more than 2 decades. Carefully staffed by people trained to treat every guest as a celebrity. And invitingly decorated with complex figures embedded in simple, modern lines.

Le Taj has a very visible tandoor (clay oven) around which you can see the chef prepare delights such as lamb chops, kebabs, garlic shrimps, chicken tikka and, of course, nan bread.

A large number of our regular patrons make up a who’s who and have been as loyal to us as we have been to them and to our classical recipes.

We also offer an inexpensive buffet at lunch, a veritable symphony of vegetarian and non vegetarian dishes.
Restaurant L’Euyère

Five-star Belgian cuisine. Try rabbit in Liège syrup with two kinds of Belgian beer.
Restaurant Solmar

A Portuguese mainstay renowned for its lobster, filet mignon and squid.
Resto Chez L’Epicier

A fabulous grocery store, sit-down restaurant and take-out service under one roof. Inventive soups, salads and locally produced cheeses, meats and herbs.
Ritz-Carlton Montréal

A longstanding landmark of sophistication and old-world charm, this elegant Neo-Classical structure attracts an élite clientele often seen relaxing with cocktails or English tea in the courtyard garden. Book well in advance.
Robert Lepage

The first North American to direct a Shakespeare play at London’s Royal National Theatre, Lepage (b.1957) is one of the most successful and daring writer/directors in the visual arts world. He has won every available Canadian award for his brilliant theatrical staging and continues to expand his creativity as a filmmaker.
Rotisserie au Petit Poucet

Chef Réjean Campeau produces delectable maple-smoked ham, pig’s knuckles, and sugar pie.
Route Saint-Armand

In 1748 the Seigneurie Saint-Armand was given to René Nicholas Levasseur by the King of France and much of this spectacular property can be seen today along the country roads from Vale Perkins on Lake Memphrémagog to the village of Saint-Armand.
