Watch the ships come and go as you enjoy fine French cuisine at this elegant restaurant, located in Québec's Vieux Port area. L'Initiale, which has been honored by the Chaine de Rotisseurs gastronomy society, offers an interesting juxtaposition in terms of décor and architecture: although the restaurant is housed in one of the Old Port's beautifully preserved, century-old buildings, its interior is marked by soft lighting, light colors, large windows offering spectacular river views, and intimate tables that offer ample privacy. Head chef Yvan Lebrun has impressed the Québec dining scene with his innovative dishes, from calf sweetbreads and wild game to smoked salmon and roast guinea hen. A meal here is bound to impress that important client or special somebody!
