Show Notes
This week we’re off to Quebec with food and travel writer Pamela MacNaughton. Together we explore the vibrant culture, sights and flavours of Canada’s largest province, often fondly referred to as “the Europe of North America.”
Tune in for hot chocolate snobbery, postcard perfect views in Quebec City, mural art in Montreal and ice canoeing across the Saint Lawrence River. Of course, we couldn’t forget to mention Canada’s national dish in the place it originated – it goes without saying poutine is on the menu.
Pamela's restaurant recommendations: Aux Anciens Canadiens (traditional québécois cuisine) Buffet de l'Antiquaire (diner with breakfast poutine) Chez Gaston (traditional poutine) Restaurant Sagamité (Indigenous cuisine) La Korrigaine Brasserie Artisanale (woman-owned microbrewery) Le Fin Gourmet (gourmet, mother/daughter owned and operated) Tannière3 (unforgettable fine dining) Hosted on Acast.
