{story of my life.}: QUEBEC CITY

Bonjour from Quebec City! Our drive from Montreal went by fast. Jeff was very excited we crossed the bridge.

After we settled into our hotel, we walked to Fairmont Le Chateau Frontenac. Did you know this is the most photographed hotel in the world?! I can certainly see why.

For dinner we went to le Chic Shack. It is supposed to be like the infamous Shake Shack. I wouldn't say it was that similar, but still very good. We splurged and both got milkshakes and they were the best part!

Our hotel was next to Tim Hortons and we for sure had to stop there at least once while in Canada! Tim Hortons is the equivalent of Dunkin' Donuts in the states. Our whole time on vacation, this was the only place where the language barrier was an issue. Almost everywhere they spoke English, but at Tim Hortons it didn't seems so and I had to point to our donuts but it all worked out.

After eating breakfast, we drove about 15 minutes to Montmorency Falls. At first, we were worried the falls weren't open since the fence was locked to the stairs to the summit, but then we saw people on the suspension bridge that takes you from one side of the falls to the other, so we were able to drive to the top.

Can you tell it was a little windy on top?!

After the waterfalls, we had lunch at Chez Victor. This is a gourmet burger joint, but neither of us ordered burgers. Jeff got his poutine & I got a salad.

After lunch we strolled Old Quebec. It was as every bit as charming as I imagined it to be. Nearly every street and neighborhood looks straight out of Beauty and the Beast with their cobblestone streets and flower-box lined windows, I must say my favorite area of the city was definitely the petit champlain quarter.

After walking miles, we took a break in our hotel until dinner time. We had dinner at Sapristi. I really enjoyed the ambiance of this restaurant but both of us didn't love our pizzas.

Since we were not totally satisfied after dinner, we walked back to Le Chic Shack and ordered milkshakes to-go. The restaurant has a great view of the Fairmont Le Chateau Frontenac. We made sure to walk around one last time and take a few night photos.
