Fabulous Black-Owned Restaurants in Quebec!

Last Updated on October 1, 2024 by Pamela MacNaughtan

#BlackLivesMatter, always. Never has there been a more important time to support black-owned restaurants and businesses in Quebec, Canada, and around the globe. Racism has, and continues to, plague our society. Nobody should be afraid to simply exist. We cannot let it continue. We need to stand up, speak up, and provide support wherever we can.

One of the ways we are supporting black communities here in Quebec is by dining at Black-owned restaurants and encouraging our readers to do the same. We’ve started with restaurants in Montreal and Quebec City, but this is just the beginning, we will be adding restaurants located throughout the province of Quebec.

Have we missed a restaurant? Please let us know below.

While supporting Black-owned businesses is important, we must also take time to educate ourselves about racism. It is not limited to faraway destinations, it can be found in our backyard as well. Here are some articles and books to get you started.
