Culinary and Historical Discovery of Quebec City

UBC's Chef Eric Arrouzé and the Collège Mérici of Quebec City are pleased to offer a joint cultural and culinary arts program in the beautiful capital of la belle province. Discover a magical part of your country as you learn how to prepare delicious specialties such as Grilled Quail Salad Quebec Style, Blueberry Tartelet of Lac St-Jean and homemade Maple Ice Cream from the gourmet capital of Canada.

Each morning you have a three-hour culinary arts class with Chef Eric, who teaches you how to prepare regional specialties that you then enjoy during gourmet multi-course lunches. Afternoons are devoted to discovering important sites such as the Citadelle, the Old City and l'île d'Orléans. During the evenings, you can savour specialties from outstanding local restaurants. The program is offered in English, but there is plenty of opportunity to practise your French.
