LF: Quebec City tips
I'm heading to Old Quebec June 23 for 4 days. Not really interested in Montreal, so I was hoping for some advice on nice restaurants and attractions in the area. Nice bars and patio's would be great. As always, this being RFD, any way to save money at these attractions and restaurants would be great.
Thanks

If you like nature, check out Duchesnay. It's about 45min from old QC. There's a nordic ski park there that's very nice in the summer. They have these games you play in the trees (sorry, not sure what it's called, but you go from tree to tree via ropes etc.)

Although I've to QCity tons of times I haven't really been to restaurants in the old city. There is a great crepe place right near the St-Jean gate(IIRC). It's been ages since I've been but I remember it being very good and they prepare your crepe right in front of you.
If you want a birds-eye view of the whole city try the restaurant L'Astral it's a revolving restaurant on top of the Concorde hotel( on Grand-Allé near the old city) you'll have an awesome view of the Citadel, the Plains of Abraham, etc
There are tons of restaurants and bars all over the place down there, so choice won't be the problem.
If you want a great ice cream cone take the ferry across to Lévis(great view of the old city from the ferry) and go in to the old section(not that far from the terminal IIRC). There's a chocolaterie where they make their own chocolate and they serve soft-serve dipped in it. It's sooooooo good, the chocolate is super thick and yummy.

Have a nice day!
