The province of Quebec has no shortage of fine dining and must-try restaurants, with a handful of the best in Montreal and Quebec City.

Forbes released its list of winners of the Travel Guide Star Awards and when it comes to the best in the world, three Quebec restaurants managed to make the cut.

Forbes uses an objective inspection process with over 900 criteria that its "highly trained inspectors" or secret travel agents, as we like to put it, use when trying both a service and a facility."

Our global team of inspectors are always anonymous, so they have the same experience as a typical guest," Forbes stated.

So, which three Quebec restaurants ranked among the best in the world?
