Our first day in Quebec City we decided to get lost. We did not listen to the GPS "Mistake" We did not realize the ferry went from Levis (where we were camped) to the heart of Old Quebec. We thought we had to take the bridge and that was quite a bit further. The ferry at peak times runs every 30 min and it took us from campsite to ferry 15 min for a 11 min ferry ride. Kevin will relate to this because he helped us get lost in PEI We eventually found our way to Old Quebec City and had an awesome dinner (starving after being lost for 1 1/2 hours) at a French restaurant that specializes in Gluten Free and it was fantastic. Brian decided he needed to try Poutine as an appetizer as they did it Gluten Free. Not something I thought I would ever like but it was awesome Brian eyes were bugging out as he ate it. Yum Both of us had the Filet with different sauces and we both said it was one of the best filets ever.
This place was so good we went back the next day for lunch. This is Brian Very Very happy after a wonderful French GF Meal
This is the place in the daylight Nice Building Half Hotel and the Restaurant in the bottom right side with some tables outside.

The next day we caught the ferry late morning and spent the entire afternoon (after we ate lunch at that fantastic GF restaurant) walking the city. Wow it is quite impressive. The Chateau Frontenac is the most amazing hotel I have ever seen The original was built in 1893 and to date has 18 floors and 600 rooms. It is so beautiful with many turrets and a courtyard for an entrance. Stunning.
We got a lot of exercise as the streets are up and down hills. The buildings and storefronts are so cool with brightly painted trim and flower boxes etc. Very Old Buildings that are restored and beautiful
We walked a lot and were very tired by the end of the day but what an awesome experience to see Old Quebec City on a beautiful sunny day . We so enjoyed this experience.
