Not really, no.
Just like Ontario, Quebec has a few really solid breweries, and bunch of mediocre ones, and more than a few awful ones.

No frills?

I agree. And yet disagree. The difference is that Quebec's top-notch breweries kick our top-notch breweries ten ways to Sunday (Charlevoix, DDC, TM) and have strong bottled offerings whereas in Ontario some of the better offerings are draft or cask only or sold only at the brewery; distribution is part of the problem.
It would be hard to argue, though, that Quebec's top tier don't solidly beat our top tier (by this list: Denisons, Black Oak, Durham)
