Québécois Food Vocabulary Every Newcomer Should Know

Standard French food vocabulary gets you most of the way in Québec, but a few words are distinctly local — and you'll hit them the first week, at the grocery store or ordering food out.

The classics

French	English
Poutine	Fries, cheese curds, and gravy — Québec's signature dish
Une patate	A potato / fries (casual)
Un dépanneur	A corner store (also just called "un dep")
Une cabane à sucre	A sugar shack — a maple-syrup farm that also serves meals
Une tourtière	A traditional meat pie, common around the holidays

At the grocery store

French	English
Le lait	Milk
Les légumes	Vegetables
Le pain	Bread
Une caisse	A checkout (not "une caisse" like a box, in this context — the till)
Les rabais / en spécial	Discounts / on sale

Ordering out

French	English
Je voudrais...	I would like...
Pour emporter	To go
Ici, s'il vous plaît	For here, please
L'addition, s'il vous plaît	The bill, please
C'est combien?	How much is it?

A note on "déjeuner," "dîner," and "souper"

This is one of the biggest traps for people who learned France French: in Québec, déjeuner is breakfast, dîner is lunch, and souper is dinner — shifted one meal earlier than in France, where "déjeuner" means lunch and "dîner" means dinner. Getting invited to "souper" and showing up expecting a light snack is a real, common mix-up.

Common mistakes to avoid

Using France's meal-time words and confusing what time you're expected somewhere — always double check "souper" means dinner here.
Ordering "poutine" without knowing it comes hot, fast, and isn't meant to be shared politely — it's usually a full portion.
Assuming a "dépanneur" is a full grocery store — it's closer to a convenience store, useful for basics at odd hours, not a weekly shop.

Next grocery run, look for "en spécial" signs and read one out loud before you check the price tag. If you want to practice a full food-ordering conversation before trying it live, the Tim Hortons and dépanneur scenarios let you rehearse with an AI partner first.
