The entire historic district of Quebec City is filled with little restaurants, shops and for the most part really off-key street performers. The ones that didn't sing or talk as part of their act were more enjoyable.

We arrived in the late afternoon, checked in to the hotel, and decided to wander down the Dufferin Terrasse for a bit. WE stopped when we reached the stairway that winds around the cliffs. We had a lovely dinner near the hotel at a place called the Cafe de Paris. Despite the fact that it is probably a tourist trap (indicated by the tour bus of people that unloaded in front of the building and subsequently dined in a private room at the back) the food was actually pretty yummy. I had escargot for an appetizer. It wasn't served the way I usually eat them, but they were pretty yummy. The place had an accordian player and was filled with big groups of tourists. It was hot outside so the air conditioning was most welcome.
