Best Family Restaurants in Old Quebec City
Diving into dessert as we spin around the city at Ciel!
Ciel! Bistro-Bar
What’s not to love about a rotating restaurant with beautiful Old Quebec and river views? How about actually good Continental food and an unstuffy, family-friendly vibe? A meal at Ciel! feels special and will be a memorable meal for the whole family, and there’s a children’s menu!
La Buche
Everything about La Buche is fun. From the menus that are designed like school books with quirky illustrations and puzzles, to the idiosyncratic dishes that take a modern twist on Quebecois cuisine like “rabbit wings” and shepherd’s pie balls. The kids menu includes “Maple Taffy on Snow” that kids make themselves on an ice table!
Cochon Dingue
One of the most popular family restaurants, Cochon Dingue is a casual Parisian style bistro in the Petit Champlain area, making it a convenient stop for traditional Quebecois foods while walking around Old Quebec City. They have a kids menu and offer coloring books.
Spag & tini
Another kid friendly spot in Petit Champlain, Spag & tini offers pizzas, pastas and salads, as well as gluten free and vegetarian options. Their outdoor seating is in a very picturesque spot, directly down the hill from the Chateau Frontenac.

La Maison Smith
Locally roasted, La Maison Smith offers excellent coffees, sandwiches and pastries. There are several locations within Old Quebec City, but the one on Rue des Jardins has the added bonus of being across from a big splash pad.
