What are the Must-See Things to Do in Quebec City?

09 Eat French onion soup at Aux Anciens Canadiens

When it comes to dinner options, you pretty much can't go wrong anywhere in Québec City, thanks to the city's abundance of authentic French "gastronomie." But if you want the quintessential Québecois dining experience, just look for the red roof. Aux Anciens Canadiens opened its doors in 1675 as Maison Jacquet and retains most of its original character. The restaurant gets its name from a novel written by Philippe-Aubert de Gaspé, who lived in the house from 1815 until 1824. Don't miss la Soupe a l'Oignon au Fromage — French onion soup —while you're here.
