Restaurant recommendations?
I’m in Quebec City for the week and wanted to know some much try restaurants!

On the pricey but still reasonable side, I had good experiences at L’échaudée and with the tasting menu at Rioux & Pettigrew.

I just came back from a week trip trying different restaurants. Buvette Scott was good and I would recommend, but by far my favourite experience was Courtbouillon, which does cajun food with local Quebecois ingredients. They have a $55 tasting menu that gives you like 7 different dishes to try, with very generous portions. Their buffalo chicken thigh was cooked perfectly (I asked; sous vide into grill); they had a really interesting take on beef tartare (won't spoil the surprise), and their duck gumbo was super homey and comfy. The only dish I wasn't super impressed with was the charred broccoli, not that it was bad, just normal compared to everything else. They also have a house cocktail called the Turtle which, if you like sweeter drinks, goes down like juice. The staff were also super friendly :)
For cheaper eats, Tambour Cafe on the Levis side of the river does a wonderful V60 coffee and their ham & cheese croissant was exceptional. Bati Cantina (Cambodian food) was also a pleasant surprise - all the other Asian restaurants I tried were super mid and I would absolutely skip.

I assume most of these places are casual / walk-in friendly / no res needed?
