Couche-Tard
Category: Personal Shopping
This Couche-Tard location also houses a Cafe Depot store - where I filled up on Chai lattes every day I was in Quebec. Most of the time Chai lattes can be quite watery and have little flavor - well not the Chai Lattes from this Coffee Depot/Couche-Tard.
I also hear that Couche-Tard's other (non French) name is Mac's and they have a really weird (WTF) commercial that is a must watch: http://bit.ly/3UsQpo

I had no idea that it was the Arby's of Quebec - I heard they had good poutine, and I was determined to try this Quebecian dish during my short stay. Well, it was everything I thought it was going to be - french fries with fresh cheese curd covered in hot gravy. I was amazed I didn't get sick.. cause I never eat junk like that - but when in Quebec right?
BRING CASH cause they don't take Amex, or Visa for that matter.
Oh, and there are no refills on the fountain drinks - what gives Quebec? No refills? c'mon..

Le Cochon Dingue
Categories: Modern European, Breakfast & Brunch
The food served up at the Cochon was outstanding. The crepes were beautiful, the cafe au lait was delicious, the omelet was cooked just right - we ate breakfast here twice. I could have eaten here every day we were in Quebec, if I'd only known about it on the first day we got into town!
The waitstaff were super nice and very friendly - we felt very welcome, and did not feel rushed to vacate the table once we'd finished breakfast.
Please - if you're in Quebec City - stop by the Cochon and get breakfast - it was superb!

I stayed here while in Quebec on a business trip - the room was beautiful, the hotel was gorgeous inside and out. Old Quebec is about as picturesque as you can get.
Parking was pretty painless - IF you park in the hotel's parking garage, and don't mistakenly park in the spots designated for government officials.
I upgraded to a room with a view facing the Old Quebec area with a king size bed. The room was spacious, and the view was gorgeous.

I had high hopes based on a few of the other reviews, but I'd rather pay more for a proper sushi meal.
Their seaweed salad look suspiciously dark green, and seemed to be more like a polk/collard green salad than seaweed. It tasted *kinda* like a seaweed salad, but the texture and color were all wrong.
The rolls were like what you'd get from a grocery store sushi tray, but with less substance in the center. Their tuna nigiri was quite good, and I ended up wishing they had a 10 piece tray of the tuna, as that would have been better than all the other miscellaneous rolls I'd chosen.
I also think that 17$ for two people to have a sushi "snack" and 1 fountain drink is pretty steep for a place that is supposed to be "fast food". It seems to me the only bargains are the stir fry rice bowl entrees.

Rudy's Country Store & Bar-B-Q

Sometimes the lean brisket is a little *too* lean and borders on dry. The creamed corn is so good it is just *wrong*. They have excellent creamy cole slaw that will do you right too.
RC Cola in the bottle, and Diet Dr. Pepper on tap too!
All the employees I've encountered have been very nice and helpful - I do wish I didn't have to lean over the counter to deliver my order in a normal tone of voice, opting to not yell over the din.
I like that they publish the nutritional content of their menu items - this helps determine what to chose & what to avoid.

I tried the mayonnaise based bbq sauce, and it reminded me of a peppery ranch dressing. The cole slaw was not the creamy kind I prefer, but it was more like vinegary cole-sawdust. I did not like their take on coleslaw. The brisket was lean, and the sauce was good - but my favorite bbq is still Cecil's in Orlando. I'm sure this is blasphemy, but it's just how my taste buds see it.
They did have most awesome pebbled ice, for that they get an extra star cause that is the best ice ever.

I'd never been to a 99 before - one day business trip to "Woostah" MA - and it was right next to the Hampton where I was staying..
I had a Cobb salad minus the blue cheese and bacon (thus making it NOT a Cobb salad anymore, but whatever). The waitstaff was incredibly friendly and accommodating - they get extra stars just for that. It has been a long time since I've interacted with a waitress who was so genuinely *nice*.
The next day I swung in for lunch before leaving town - I got a soup/salad - nothing special, but overall good for the price, and the atmosphere wasn't overbearing. I liken it to a cross between TGI Fridays and a McAllister's Deli. Very middle-of-the-road corporate chain, but not bad overall.

Based on the reviews I was hoping for a bit more from the Basil House. I did enjoy the Summer Rolls, but the Pad Thai was just ok, and the portion of chicken they put in it was pretty scant. Overall it was OK for a quick lunch, but it wasn't anything to write home about.

I didn't see anything special about it - it was just regular drip coffee, and they add cream & sugar for you.. if you want it. I *was* surprised that the cream and sugar they added didn't turn it into a dessert instead of coffee.
That being said, I can't imagine making a special trip to a Tim Horton's now that I know it's just like any Dunkin' Donuts. Hell, I don't even frequent Dunkin' Donuts stateside, so I sure wouldn't become a regular at a Tim Horton's..
