Quebec City Island of Orleans Food Tour

Taste Canadian cuisine on this gastronomic tour of the Ile d'Orleans in Quebec. This is an experience that lasts around three and a half hours for groups where a local guide will be in charge of explaining everything related to the gastronomy of this area. You will have the opportunity to taste typical local food and drinks in different restaurants.

Orleans Island has a rich culinary heritage due to its French-Canadian roots and agricultural traditions. Its cuisine is known primarily for its abundance of rustic dishes using local ingredients and traditional French Canadian techniques.

For example, here are some of the dishes you'll find at the tasting:

• Tourtière: a savoury meat pie made with pork, veal and spices.
• Charlevoix cheese: made from raw cow's milk.
• Fiddleheads: fiddlehead ferns are a springtime delicacy on the island and are served sautéed with butter and garlic.

Along the way, you'll have the opportunity to sample some of the island's traditional beverages, such as cider. The island of Orléans is known for its apple orchards and is therefore a very popular drink.

In fact, you'll have the chance to visit a cider house, as well as a vineyard where you'll have great views. Orléans is also known for its chocolate, so you will visit a chocolate factory on this tour to sweeten this tour even more.
