You can board a ferry, or traversier, that will transport you across the St. Lawrence River to a sweet little town called Lévis. The ferry leaves its port at Old Québec every half hour or so, only lasts about 15 minutes, and provides picturesque panoramic views of the city from the water. If you happen to find yourself in Québec during the winter months, the ferry ride is particularly thrilling: it becomes a glorified icebreaker, slicing through the ice on the river.

Canadians can thank Québec for inventing one of their favorite comfort food:s poutine. 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 go to sample some of these savory, cheesy, gravy-drizzled spuds. There are now 25 Chez Ashtons in the region

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 first opened its doors in 1675 as Maison Jacquet, and still retains most of its original character. The restaurant is named after a novel written by Philippe-Aubert de Gaspé, who lived in the house from 1815 until 1824. The service is top-notch, and the entire menu is beautifully executed, but don’t miss la Soupe a l'Oignon au Fromage -- French onion soup -- while you’re here.

Savour some Pet de Soeur
This Québecois pastry glazed in butter and brown sugar is so scrumptious that even its name doesn’t deter die-hard fans -- it means “nun’s fart” in French-Canadian. Some say it derives its off-putting moniker from the sound it makes when frying. Others claim a nun’s fart once caused so much uproarious laughter that someone dropped a piece of dough into boiling oil. Whatever the origins of its name, it’s hard to argue that pet de soeur is damn delicious and dangerously addictive.
