Café d'Europe

Description:

• This 30-year-old restaurant is an intimate dining landmark in Quebec City. Many loyal clients visit Jean and Renato La Rosa time and time again for their creative mixture of traditional French and Italian cuisine. Meat and potatoes lovers feast on lamb rubbed with garlic and rosemary. Others can opt for gloriously-presented pasta dishes or a selection of entrees blending French cuisine with native elements: wild boar with apples and calvados, or deer with blueberries flambéed in cognac. The dining room is opulent but bright and unoppressive, reflecting the quiet confidence of years of experience — not to be missed.
