Capitale-Nationale

A playful find in the heart of Saint-Roch! This game bar offers a selection of pinball and arcade machines in a retro setting, and also hosts a drag bingo one Sunday a month. You'll find nachos, chicken wings, Quebec jerky and pepperettes, along with beers from local microbreweries and ciders. A one-of-a-kind atmosphere, somewhere between a bar, an arcade and a neighbourhood restaurant.

The place came out of an idea from two longtime friends, brought together by their love of retro arcade cabinets and well-made cider. Since then the house has fully leaned into that second side: today it presents itself as a cider specialist, with a sharply chosen selection that's worth the trip even for someone who won't touch a controller all night.

It's also bigger than it looks when you walk in: the Vox can hold up to 250 people, which makes it a good address for a group party. Along with the pinball and arcade machines, there's a pool table and a foosball table. Good to know: most of the machines are set to free play, and on Mondays the pool table and the pinball machines are free. Open every day from 4 p.m. to 3 a.m.

A neighbourhood restaurant. Tucked into the heart of the Quartier Petit Champlain, the Q de Sac greets us with a menu of Quebec flavours in a warm, shack-like decor. French onion soup cooked in the wood-fired pizza oven, duck wings in soy-maple sauce, foie gras poutine, wood-fired pizzas and craft beers — a genuine tribute to Quebec cooking.

A tasty and original find in the Montcalm neighbourhood! In the former premises of Café Sirocco, on boulevard René-Lévesque Ouest, they served sandwiches, wraps, waffles, traditional Quebec plates, cassolettes, savoury and sweet crêpes, eggs Benedict and even a kind of Chinese churro (long fried doughnuts called you tiao). The concept skilfully married the Quebec breakfast with Asian flavours — a one-of-a-kind experience in Quebec City.

⚠️ This location is closed. The Frite Alors! at 122 rue Crémazie Ouest served its last fries on July 19, 2026. It was the banner's first franchise to open in Quebec City, back in 2010. Its owner, Benoît Houde, chose to leave the restaurant business after 30 years in the trade, and the space has found successors. The banner is still present in the region, though: the Sainte-Anne boulevard location, in L'Ange-Gardien, is still operating, as are several addresses in Montreal. We're keeping this article as a memento of our April 2025 visit.
