1608 Wine & Cheese bar (inside the Fairmont Château Frontenac)
Inspired by the year of Quebec City’s founding ( as you learned during my tour!) the 1608 offers one of the largest varieties of top Quebec cheeses, sourced from its unique Cheese Room, and coupled with the top wine offerings the world has to offer. They also have great local beers. Go for the studding view over the St. Lawrence River, the top-notch service and the ''château'' atmosphere. Dress code: casual, as we like it!
