Kingston
It's a tad pricey but locals love this little taste of Paris with a hint of Québec in the Anglophone heart of Kingston: consider the gourmet poutine. Mains include lamb, duck, and the obligatory Prince Edward Island moules (mussels) or steak-frites.
Brunch is served until 2:30pm at weekends, with live jazz on the terrace from midday on Sunday and happy hour from 3pm to 5pm daily.
