Grande Allée
A tree-lined boulevard just outside the Saint-Louis Gate, lined with restaurant, bar, and terrace-filled Victorian mansions. It is the center of the city's nightlife.
Grande Allée runs west from the Porte Saint-Louis. The section near the Parliament Building is lined with 19th-century Victorian mansions, which now mostly house restaurants, bars, and nightclubs. In summer their outdoor terraces form a continuous line, and the street is known as the Champs-Élysées of Quebec. During the day you can admire the architecture along the street. In the evening, come for drinks and dinner and enjoy the lively atmosphere. Further west you reach the Plains of Abraham and the National Museum of Fine Arts. The street gets very busy during festivals, so it is best to book popular restaurants in advance.
