Quebec’s restaurant scene just earned some major bragging rights! The province dominated a recent ranking of the best fine dining spots in Canada for 2024, snagging four spots in the top 10.

This comes from Tripadvisor’s Travellers’ Choice Awards, which highlight the best of the best in the industry. The prestigious “Best of the Best” title is awarded to restaurants that receive “a high volume of above-and-beyond reviews and opinions from the Tripadvisor community over a 12-month period,” according to the hospitality ratings site.

“Out of our 8 million listings, fewer than 1% achieve this milestone,” it says. So, if you’re a foodie or just love checking out top-tier dining experiences, these places should definitely be on your bucket list!

Of the four Quebec restaurants on this year’s list, two were in Montreal and two were in Quebec City. B.C. also had four spots on the list, while Alberta and Ontario had just one each to round out the top 10.
