Café-Terrasse La Nouvelle-France

$ · BudgetLeashed only

Café-Terrasse La Nouvelle-France is a tiny Parisian-style café hidden on Rue du Trésor in the heart of Old Québec, serving French classics like onion soup, crepes and salads on a terrace tucked off a busy lane. It has welcomed dogs on its terrace for decades and even offers a dedicated dog menu with meatballs. Staff provide umbrellas and towels for wet or warm dogs.

Why it made the list

A genuinely dog-first café in the middle of Old Québec — with its own dog menu, this is the city's most famous pup-friendly terrace.

Good to know before you go

Dogs are welcome at the outdoor terrace tables (Québec City rules keep dogs off indoor restaurant floors); the dog menu runs around $8. Hours were not published on the source reviewed, so check locally for current times.

Practical notes

  • Order off the dog menu — the meatballs are legendary among regulars.
  • Rue du Trésor is pedestrian-only, so keep your leash short around crowds.
