Bistro B

Québec City


The brainchild of top chef François Blais, this place draws a crowd for business lunches, when reasonably priced specials pop up on the iPad menu. New menus are improvised daily based on whatever ingredients are freshest at the local market. Sit at one of the quiet tables looking over well-heeled Ave Cartier or at the counter fronting the open kitchen.
