Something to eat?
Québec’s terroir food items will satisfy even the most discerning palates. Mouth-watering maple products, honey, chocolates, cheeses and preserves are available in many supermarkets and speciality grocery stores. They can also be found at public markets and agritourism farms. And Québec’s various gourmet routes give visitors an opportunity to taste and buy our exceptional local products.

Something to drink?
Our producers have created a range of original craft beverages, some of which are inspired by our particular climate. Ice cider, made with frozen apples, is a perfect example. Wines, beers, and spirits, sweet, fruity, hoppy, dry or bold—our alcoholic beverages are all bursting with flavour. These products are available at the Société des alcools du Québec (SAQ), speciality boutiques, supermarkets and some public markets.

Something to wear?
Fashion is a key and vibrant sector among Québec creators, who produce bold, high-calibre clothing. Our expertise in creating quality outerwear is no doubt inspired by our harsh winters. Coats often feature a fur trim, reflecting Inuit culture. Québec-made designer clothing can be found in boutiques, shopping centres, the Marché Bonsecours and the Petit-Champlain district.
