Younger people often look down upon Quebec’s sleepy provincial capital, but a recent visit proved there’s so much more than historical reenactments and touristy bistros.
If somebody from the East Coast of the U.S. tells me they’re headed to Canada, their age is usually a good rule of thumb for determining where they’re going. Millennial and Gen Z? Montréal. Anybody older? Probably Quebec City. Whereas the province of Quebec’s biggest city is famed for its arts, restaurant scene, nightlife, and even being a little bit naughty, the province’s capital has a more sedate rep.
In my quest to prove myself ignorant, I dragged along my best friend from Montréal who works at Ssense, which is to say she’s chic and cool and always on top of where to eat, shop, and go out. Less than three hours later by car, we were pulling up to the Auberge Saint-Antoine and immediately sidling up on one of the turquoise velvet chairs in its lobby bar, Artefact.
We decided to begin our visit with a bit of vintage shopping, as TikTok's favorite hobby is a great way to learn about a city. We walked from the hotel and headed in the neighborhood called Saint-Roch. Known for being one of the more hip areas with lots of boutiques, bars, and restaurants, we ended up spending a lot of our time here. The first store we tried was called Friperie Kappara, a boutique that also has a location in Montréal so we were excited to check it out.
Given the late night, our next morning got off to a late start and so we decided to order breakfast in our room. Wrapped in bathrobes, we sat on the private terrace overlooking the St Lawrence River talking about all the fun we had the night before and all the things we didn't necessarily want to remember from the night before.Finally having pulled ourselves together, we decided to check out Orlean Island, which can be reached in less than 20 minutes from Quebec City.
