Sapristi Bistro Bar

3
1001, rue Saint-Jean, Québec, QC G1R 1R8

On the restaurant side, Le Sapristi ! features dishes that highlight local ingredients. On the bar side, they offer an extensive cocktail menu: a dozen classics and several concoctions served in mason jars. The beautiful terrace – open in the summer – is worth a visit!

Chez Boulay Bistro Boréal

4
1110, rue Saint-Jean, Québec, QC G1R 1S4

Cocktails with a boreal (northern) inspiration - we like that! Chez Boulay does not spread itself too thin by offering too many cocktails; rather, the focus is on a sharp selection of cocktails that showcase Quebec rum and maple whiskey. The menu, featuring dishes made entirely with local ingredients, is worth mentioning.
