Quebec City Report
Not all the bagels sold in Quebec comes from montreal.... they are two bagels factory one also on Maguire's street, near Brynd's, Bagel traditionnel and another one one Cremazie street near Cartier called la Fabrique du Bagel. Brynd's has open a new location near the train station and there is also la Fabrique du Smoke meat on Raoul Jobin street in St-Roch.

Next time, try the restaurant their lunch menu is the best price/quality their clients are mostly locals and you have to reserve. Dinner, my review I think is accurate, real good!
Try Michelangelo it is the owner of the Inn that recommend it and really it was fantastic!
Quebec City Report
We also love, love Quebec city! Just came back from a ski and food trip! We where staying at Auberge Place d'Armes following a recommendation of National Georgraphic Traveler! Awesome and yes the breakfast was good and surprising included in the room rate.
First dinner recommonded by our concierge an amazing italian restaurant El Michelangelo this very charming place is a MUST in the region of Quebec.
The service was awesome, the food surpassed our very high expectations. We went to the Michelangelo for Valentine's day and we were not disapointed at all with every aspect of our meal. The waiters were professional and always available for us. Also, their suggestions for wine and sides were very good. We have the best veal I ever had and their pasta where to die for. This is one of those places that you will remember for a long time. They will make your evening taste a lot like Italia!
Lunch on the ski slopes -nothing to write...
Second night dinner: a new steak and ribs restaurant Côte à Côte in the lower town near the ferry. The beef so tender and sides fabulous and don't miss the ribs
Lunch at Brynd another new restaurant of smoked meat. If you like pastrami you will be blow up by the home cured smoked meat and those fries with their flavorful mayonnaise. Really better than poutine
Third night dinner: our hotel restaurant Le Pain Béni, the smoked duck tartlet with fig was delicious as well as the foie gras. Main course caramelized sweetbreads with honey and soya, sautéed scallop, and mashed potatoes with crab, wow! and for my wife sautéed black bass with almonds and a kind of nutmeg, chanterelles and wild rice au foie gras at that point they offered us a sherbet and we took a brake... and only a dessert for 2 but what a dessert a variation on apple caramelized apple pie with cinnamon, apple ice cream and its apple fritter. The wine pairing advice from the waiter was great.
During the evening we had a chat with our neighbours about food and they discourage us to eat next evening Aux Anciens Canadiens supposed to be a tourist trap. So we went to the Continental a minute away from the hotel. Great french old style restaurant. Very nice setting, so professional service and real classic french food.
We love Quebec!
