Pelletier’s place is very conveniently located, modern, and great for couples. You can find a bunch of cafes and restaurants on the street it’s located (rue de Saint Joseph). There is an arcade bar (Macfly) around the corner and two pretty good cafes underneath (Nektar & Le Croquembouche). It was also about a ~5-10 min drive to Old Quebec and Quebec City.
Parking was not too hard. He recommended we park on "notre dame des anges" street and "rue saint-francois Est". You will be able to park there 1hour for free in the day, and it is free after 4PM until 10AM the next day. There is parking on rue de Saint Joseph also, however I believe it’s free only after 7/8PM until 8AM the next day.
We found a parking lot called Indigo, around the corner on rue de Dorchester for $15 CAD for 2 days. It was very convenient as we could come and go in the lot as we pleased.
I only have two complaints about our experience. One, was the delayed communication of a later check-in time. Upon our 3PM arrival, we were told by the host the check-in would be pushed to 3:45PM due to cleaning delays. We tried checking in after that time and was told by the cleaning lady 4:30PM. Two, was a strange odor from the kitchen and bathroom, which was a disappointment as cleaning caused such a delay. However, we left the door open for a little while and it was fine for the rest of our stay.
I understand it was two days after Christmas so thing were probably a little crazy prior to our arrival. That is why, I would overall recommend Pelletier’s place and would most likely stay again.
Thank you for hosting us Pelletier!
P.S
If you’re looking for a bite:
1. Try the bison steak and meat pies at La Bûche (rabbit wings were okay)
2. The scallop crepes and duck confit eggs Benedict at Le Billig,
3. If your taste buds want something other than French, try spring rolls, egg rolls, and pho at Pho Saigon.
4. Try the oysters at Kraken Cru, which has more of a bar setting.
The only restaurant we thought that did not live up to its hype was Le Hobbit. We had the beef shoulder steak and buffalo cheek parsnip gnocchis. However, it was very cute inside.
