Culinary Delights In Quebec

Wednesday morning, after breakfast, Jim enjoyed a workout in the well-appointed gym at the Chateau Frontenac, while Dan started reading an engrossing novel given to him by his friend Louise: "Disappearing Earth" by Julia Phillips. Light snow has filled the air of this beautiful city all day, creating a romantic atmosphere. Before lunch we visited the Musee des Beaux Arts, located in three connected modern buildings. For lunch we dined in old town's Echaude Restaurant, featuring the finest food we've had in this cuisine-oriented town. Dinner, after relaxing cocktails in the 1608 Bar, was at the hotel's Champlain Restaurant, run by award-winning chef Stephane Modat. We're sad to say goodbye to beautiful Quebec City this Thursday morning as we make our way to Montreal by rail. - Dan
