$ · Budget·Leashed 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.

House rules and verification
The pet policy above is summarised from the venue’s own published information and cross-checked against public listings. Last checked: against the source on . Policies change without notice anyway, so confirm the current one with the venue before you travel, and keep your dog leashed anywhere that is not a signed off-leash area. Read the full disclaimer.
Parc canin de la Pointe-aux-Lièvres is one of Ville de Québec's five official off-leash dog spaces, a fully fenced park along the Rivière Saint-Charles in Limoilou. It has a hard gravel running surface, separate sections, benches and waste stations.
The Parc linéaire de la Rivière-Saint-Charles is a 32-kilometre trail following the Saint-Charles River from Saint-Charles Lake to the Old Port of Québec. It passes through parks, wetlands and historic sites, is accessible year-round, and welcomes dogs on leash.
Pub L'Oncle Antoine is a historic Old Québec pub set in what feels like an 18th-century wine cellar in the Petit Champlain district. Dogs join owners at the equally charming outdoor patio, with people-watching over the district's side streets.
