Quebec Yacht Club
A private yacht club and marina on the St. Lawrence in Québec City, best known to visitors for its riverside terrace restaurant and views. Service and food quality get mixed recent reports.
What visitors say
The Quebec Yacht Club sits on a sheltered marina along the St. Lawrence River, and the water view is what nearly every reviewer mentions first. The terrace looks out over the boats, the wharf and the river, and several visitors single it out as one of the nicest patios in the city, especially around sunset.
Most public reviews are about the restaurant and bar rather than boating. People describe good breakfasts, burgers, fish and chips and a well-regarded holiday buffet, at prices one guest called reasonable. Visiting boaters from elsewhere report a warm welcome, and one cruiser praised the protected marina, clean washrooms and tidy laundry facilities.
The club sits right on a bike path, and cyclists heading to or from Old Québec use it as a stop for a meal or a cold drink. It also works as a place to walk, read or just watch the yachts come and go. Google lists it as a sailing club and school, a banquet hall and an event venue as well as a marina.
Service is the recurring weak spot. Several reviewers over the years found it slow or inexperienced, and in the current season a couple of regulars were disappointed by changes to the restaurant, with one describing a poor-quality burger. Note that this is a sailing and marina club, not a hunting or shooting facility.
