I echo Suz on the temperature. I spent several days in QC the third week of August last year and it was quite warm - even hot. It was around 30 degrees every day, plus some humidity. I did not wear pants or a jacket for the entire 2 weeks I was on vacation. Having said that, I would pack both just in case because you just never know. <br />I wore shorts and a top every day but you could easily be comfy in a summer dress.&nbsp;In QC, the old city, there are loads of steps so make sure you bring your walking shoes. I had sandals and runners with me. I opted for runners and still my feet ached at the end of the day. Even with socks I had blisters.&nbsp;<br />In the old city there are loads and load of wonderful cafes and restaurants. I do not think you will have trouble finding a vegetarian option.<br />I am just up the road from Suz so our climate is similar. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quebec-travel#post-1329103 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 14:04:34 +0000 Suz 1329103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How fun! I don't have much advice for vegetarian eating but there are some lovely restaurants in Quebec city. Check the long range forecast. It may not be as much cooler as you imagine. We have had a cooler than usual summer where I live (Eastern Ontario) but it's warmed up recently. And on my recent visit to the Maritimes it was warmer there than at home. I would say temps of about 20-26 would be the kind of range you are looking at. But it's quite windy there, which might mitigate the temps.&nbsp;</p> <p>Montreal is usually hot and muggy in the summer. Much more similar to what you are used to, maybe a few degrees cooler, but not necessarily. Humidity will be high, as you are used to.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quebec-travel#post-1329097 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 13:55:34 +0000 citygirldc 1329097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi all. My dh and I will be heading out to Quebec City for one week vacation and can't wait. I'm looking forward to&nbsp;cooler weather and warm clothing.&nbsp;</p> <p>I know there are many Canadians on this wonderful YLF board so I'll need your advice on&nbsp;what to wear (different temps down here in the NE USA at 85-90 degrees/28-30 celcius), places to see, what to eat (+1 vegetarian). I've visited once back in 1995 for a long weekend but barely remember it and now I get to share this trip&nbsp;with my DH. &nbsp;We may also do a day trip to Montreal.</p> <p>Would love to get your input.</p>
