Chez Victor St-Jean

Québec City


One of Québec City's best-loved neighborhood eateries, Chez Victor specializes in burgers gourmets – juicy burgers, served with a hefty dash of creativity. Choose from deer, salmon, wild boar, straight-up beef or vegetarian, which you can then dress a number of ways (brie, smoked bacon, cream cheese). You’ll find several other branches around town, including one by the Old Port.

Side dishes here are also nice, including fresh coleslaw and fries, which you can get with a variety of sauces – including 10 different types of mayonnaise (eg curry and garlic, maple and rosemary, Cajun). Dine on the tiny outdoor patio or in the cozy, exposed-brick dining room.
