Quebec City Baby Travel Guide: Eating
We enjoyed our fair share of poutine; we shopped at the market for staples for our room; but we ate in a lot of restaurants. Way more than we’ve done on previous trips…
In Quebec City, even the poshest bistro welcomes children, but we didn’t go there. We did manage to avoid fast food, and stuck with places that were nice and affordable. Keep in mind that most restaurants are retro-fitted into tiny, centuries-old buildings, so even though they welcome you with baby, doesn’t mean they welcome your stroller. Highchairs were plentiful, and most families folded their ride and left it at the door.
We didn’t have any terrible meals, but we did have a couple that didn’t knock our socks off. I’ve decided not to mention those.
So first – when it’s been a long day and you need somewhere fast and reliable – you go for chicken…
Ville de Québec avec un bébé (Québec City With Baby)
With every trip we take with our daughter, I get less and less concerned about how she’ll handle the journey, and how to keep her occupied en route. This was trip number 6 for her, and at 3.5-years-old, she’s a great little traveler. Because I was a big chicken (and thankfully I was because that inspired this site), her first trip was at 11mos. Our little bub made us a family of four, and now at 4mos has 2 trips under his (elasticized) belt – with many more to come!
Why Quebec City? Well lots of reasons really. I haven’t seen much of this beautiful country of mine… at just over 2mos. postpartum, I wasn’t terribly eager to hit a beach… and I’ve been totally jonesing for Europe, but that’s just not in the cards right now… I’ve always heard that Quebec City is a little slice of Paris here in Canada, and now I know it’s true.

Guest Post! Berlin With Baby…
I’m delighted to put up our very first guest post!
Tracey went to Germany with her husband and baby boy. They rented an apartment for part of their stay, and they had a wonderful time. Thanks so much for sharing your trip with us, Tracey!
Berlin like a Berliner
Last year my husband and I took a trip to Germany with our 8-month-old son. We had extended family there and we felt it was a great time to travel – before the little guy could walk or voice his displeasure with the choice of activities.
