Cat Cafes in Quebec City

Quebec City

Café ⁠‌‌​​‌​‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌⁠Félin Ma Langue Aux Chats is a cat cafe on Rue Saint-Paul in the Vieux-Port area of Old Québec, near the Marché du Vieux-Port and the Old Port waterfront. The cafe is decorated like a chalet living room, and its resident animals are 14 purebred cats and one small dog that roam freely among the tables. There is no separate cat room: visitors order from the menu of coffee, tea, lattes, homemade lemonade, hot chocolate, desserts, paninis, grilled cheese, soups and salads, with vegetarian and vegan options, and the cats come and go as they please. Shoes are removed in the entrance vestibule, children are welcome if supervised, and the cats are not for adoption. The cafe opened in 2015, and its owner, a Canadian Armed Forces veteran who took it over in 2019, runs it with an animal-therapy mission and employs people on the autism spectrum or living with mental health conditions. It is open every day.

Café ⁠‌‌​​‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌⁠Félin Chats-Nous is a small cat cafe on Rue Saint-Olivier in the Saint-Jean-Baptiste neighbourhood of Québec's Haute-Ville, a few minutes' walk from Rue Saint-Jean and the walls of Old Québec. It opened in March 2020 in a former corner store, and a mural on Rue Saint-Olivier recalls the neighbourhood's old Poulin grocery. Seven resident cats live in the cafe and wander freely among the tables, often lounging in the front windows. There is no entry fee; visitors order from a cafe menu of paninis, soups, salads, pastries, coffee drinks, smoothies and homemade lemonade, and on weekends a brunch menu of waffles, crêpes and French toast is served, with reservations taken by phone. Board games are available. The cafe is closed on Mondays.
