In the Canadian province of Quebec, travelers come to be charmed by a mysterious mix of Old World traditions and modern sensibilities. And in no other way is this more apparent than in the cuisine you will find in this province. In Quebec, Ben & Florentine franchises for sale are growing more and more popular thanks to their take on classic recipes with a bit of a nod today’s preferences. That means both locals and visitors to Quebec can take advantage of creative culinary concoctions any day of the year.
The Poutine
Perhaps the dish most widely attributed to Quebec, the poutine is an easy favorite among locals and tourists alike. A bit obscure in origin—nobody really knows where it came from, or why it is named as it is—the classic Quebec dish consists of just a simple combination of medium-thick cut potatoes twice friend and then topped with cheese curds and a brown gravy. 
Tourtière
The Tourtiere may be the second most popular dish of all time in the province of Quebec. Somewhat like a meatloaf, this simple dish consists of finely diced pork/veal/beef (or any combination thereof) seasoned with a bevy of “secret” spices and then served with a single dollop of ketchup. As a traditional recipe, this is the kind of thing that families develop on their own and pass down through the years, as a popular item during the winter season.
Tire Sure La Neige
Quebec is widely known for its maple syrup and so you are quite apt to find many dishes in this region inspired by or, more likely, containing this natural sweetener. Even though you can find “maple-infused” items in just about every corner of the culinary world, today, this classic French treat is basically a maple taffy, made by pulling poured boiling maple sap directly into fresh snow; the snow immediately cools it into a soft, flexible—and damned delicious—candy.
Shish Tauok
Street meat is a common staple in just about every major city across the Americas. From hot dogs to gyros to tacos—in America—street meat is often a great, simple, inexpensive snack and in Canada, you will find a similar ideology. Except in Quebec, this street meat is called Shish Tauok and it is the local version of what might otherwise be called chicken shwarma—marinated chicken roasted on a vertical spit and shaved into a pile, typically directly onto pita bread.
