Mora Restaurant • Grande-Allée
For the month of August, I suggest a gourmet getaway to Mora, a brand-new Italian restaurant that has just opened on Grande Allée. From the moment you step into the beautifully renovated heritage building, you’re captivated: the interior is majestic, the atmosphere warm, and… an aerial hoop hangs above your head! Far more than just a decorative element, this ring comes to life on Friday and Saturday evenings with breathtaking acrobatic performances—a must-see spectacle!
When it comes to gastronomy, Mora focuses on fresh pasta, handcrafted daily in their kitchen, and a diverse cocktail menu, with a special mention for their prosecco, the undisputed star of aperitifs. A word of caution to purists: the menu draws inspiration from Italy but with a local twist and a bold reinterpretation of classics. Here, they dare to play with ingredients, and the result is delicious!
Canoeing on the Jacques-Cartier River
Picture this: towering 75-meter cliffs, water shimmering under the sun’s rays, and you, deep in the wild, paddling in sync with the current. Welcome to the Jacques-Cartier River, where adventure blends wonder and escape!
Whether you’re chasing magical moments or pure adrenaline, the river delivers—thrilling rapids for sensation-seekers and calm stretches to soak in the breathtaking scenery!
The Loto-Québec Grand Feux
This year once again, the Loto-Québec Grand Feux return with a series of 8 themed evenings, combining spectacular fireworks displays and artistic performances of all kinds. Throughout August, Tuesday and Thursday nights come alive with a variety of themed events:

Fêtes de la Nouvelle-France
Dust off your justaucorps and lace up your corsets (as best you can) – the New France Festival is back for a vibrant edition bursting with color, flavor, and old-world revelry! Lively streets, period costumes, giant puppets, and infectious music will transport you straight to the past of this historic region.
From historical reenactments and performances to interactive workshops, you’ll be swept away to the heart of the 17th and 18th centuries. But don’t be fooled—this isn’t just a history lesson! It’s an open-air celebration where you’ll dance, laugh, and feast just like in the good old days!
