compartments that hold dainty
glasses topped with fresh fruits,
yogurts, hard-boiled eggs, fresh fish
and rich, creamy smoothies entice
and delight. It’s not uncommon to

as you gaze out onto the St.
Lawrence River. But with 60 chefs,
four kitchens and nearly 3,000
plates per day, you can be sure a line

diners eyeing the very spot where
you’re comfortably seated.
The perfect after-dinner drink and
late-night bite is only a few saunters

the hotel’s newest creation in
magnificence and mixology. Named
after the year of Québec City’s
founding on this very site, this
creative new concept is easy on
the eyes with glimmers of sheer
gold raining down in the form of
spectacular chandeliers. The bar’s
distinguished design pairs curved
crushed blue velvet booths with

cheeses and the chance to pair them
with some of the top wines from
around the world, it’s no wonder
there’s rarely an empty seat here.

These rushing waters, located just

nature’s awe-inspiring creation and
your next challenge.
Channel your inner warrior as you
belt out a primal scream while
crossing the 60-meter-high bridge
over the Canyon. And don’t look
