By Mathieu Villeneuve, owner — August is my favourite month to recommend Quebec City: the summer festival crowds are gone, the terraces stay full, and the rooftop pool earns its keep.
Updated July 8, 2026.
| What works in August | Detail |
|---|---|

| Saint-Roch terraces | Rue Saint-Joseph: restaurants, microbreweries and specialty cafés in full season |
| Île d'Orléans harvest | ~20 minutes by car: berry picking, cider houses — and our house on the island if you prefer the countryside |
