One of our favorite restaurants in Quebec City, le Billig is known for their crepes, but I'm in love with their salads too. I recommend La Chèvre, it has the perfect balance of sweetness from the balsamic & pecans & savory from the marinated tomatoes & goat cheese. My favorite crepe is La Provence, which has perfectly cooked vegetables, tomato sauce & cheese on a buckwheat crepe.
Upon a dreary eve in Quebec City quaint,
I ventured forth to dine, my palate's fate to acquaint.
With duck confit, my choice, a dish of savory delight,
My wife, the salmon, her taste buds took flight.
My daughter, a sweet tooth, dessert crepe she did crave,
In Le Billig's embrace, we found culinary solace to save.
Delicious & amazing, the feast did unfold,
A symphony of flavors, in each bite, stories untold.
This, the best of years, my senses did declare,
In Boston's barren dining scene, a contrast quite rare.
For there, gastronomic desolation did reign,
Yet in Quebec City, culinary treasures did reign.
From the moment I arrived, my senses were beguiled,
The food, a revelation, my taste buds reconciled.
In this charming establishment, Le Billig by name,
A haven for gourmands, seeking culinary acclaim.
The staff, a gracious host, their warmth did shine,
In this bustling ambiance, where pleasures intertwine.
A place where I would frequent, were it near my door,
A weekly pilgrimage, my gastronomic core.
My daughter, she echoed, her sentiments profound,
A desire to dwell here, in Quebec's food-rich ground.
For this experience, a heartfelt thanks I bestow,
In the shadowy alleys of Quebec, Le Billig's glow.
In the spirit of Poe, I pen this ode to thee,
For your culinary delights set my spirit free.
In your embrace, Quebec City, we did find,
A culinary haven, for both heart & mind.
Le Billig, you've left an indelible mark, it's true,
In the annals of my dining, forever shall I sing of you.
