Foodies love to visit the farmer’s market near the Old Port where you can find artisanal cheese, bread, chocolate and jam makers alongside local farmers with their seasonal products. This is apple country and maple sugar may be the regional condiment of choice, so expect to find lots of variations on both. This is also the place to buy great fresh foie gras.
Tip: Be sure to try ice cider. It’s a relatively new phenomenon created in Québec through a longer freezing process. According to Canada’s premier newspaper, the Globe and Mail, “Once fermented, the syrupy liquid yields an ultrarich, amber-colored indulgence—usually measuring 12 per cent alcohol—that’s delicious on its own as a dessert drink or as a sublime partner for such fare as sautéed foie gras or a plate of crumbly blue cheese.”
