Saint-Roch
A trendy Lower Town neighborhood where former industrial buildings have become hubs for design shops, craft beer bars, and creative restaurants, and a favorite weekend spot for locals.
Saint-Roch lies in the Lower Town, northwest of the old city. It was once a district of factories and department stores, and after redevelopment it has become one of Quebec City's most vibrant neighborhoods. Along its main street, Saint-Joseph Street, you find designer boutiques, secondhand shops, cafés, and craft beer bars. The neighborhood also has the city's largest church, Saint-Roch Church, the Jardin Saint-Roch, and many tech startups. Dining here offers better value than in the old city, making it a good choice for visitors who want to experience local life. It is about a 15-minute walk downhill from the old city.
