Uncover the Best Things to Do in Quebec City Before It's Too Late

05 Eat poutine at Chez Ashton

Canadians and the rest of the world can thank Québec for inventing poutine, one of the country's top comfort foods. The famous dish, which consists of French fries topped with gravy and cheese curds, was first served in 1972 by chef Ashton Leblond at his restaurant. To this day, Chez Ashton is still the place to sample these savory, cheesy, gravy-drizzled spuds. There are now 25 Chez Ashtons in the region — many of which are conveniently located near drinking establishments. What a terrific way to avoid a hangover!
