I'm sure Québec City must have something of similar quality.
Indeed they do, especially in Old Québec City. There are some absolutely incredible "hole-in-the-wall" restaurants there... literally so, in many cases, since they're actually located in the cellars of buildings running along the city walls (e.g. Tanière³). :P
p.s. Old Québec is easily my favorite place to visit in all of Canada. If you ever have a chance to go there, I highly recommend you do. And if you can snag a room in Château Frontenac, all the better, since it's an awesome experience... but even if not, at least stopping by to eat at the Champlain restaurant located inside it is still well worth it, IMO.

Quebec has a lot of great places.
You just reminded me that I went a few times to a medieval restaurant (Google translation) with some friends and I eventually brought my parents, I think I paid $150 for a meal for 3. The food was great, but also the servers were dressed and they spoke in a medieval way. They could even come play music at the table (I forgot which instrument oddly enough was around 2013). Beer was served in a wooden keg. Reviews / Images

If you look at the restaurants who are awarded three stars it’s all about consistency, between two and three stars. It’s faultless, absolutely faultless, all the time.
"Absolutely faultless" is exactly how I'd describe three star dining as well. It's beyond just food, it's the whole experience. Two star food is incredible but occasionally an element here or there could be better, but three star is perfect from start to finish. Also in my experience the service is like nothing else. I know they say it's all about what's on the plate but as he alludes to, there is a little more to it than that. I've had terrible service but amazing food at one star restaurants and it really spoiled the whole evening.
