Domaine Jolivent

In the center of Granby, 90 minutes from Montreal, a Four Square-style cube-shaped house catches the eye with its coffee-colored wooden cladding and white detailing. A terrace, kitchen garden, and herb garden on the roof set the tone, heralding the taste sensations to come! Inside, warmth meets simplicity: a refined bar, a glassed-in wine cellar, black tables, and an open kitchen with a chef's counter. Two crackling maple wood fires call to mind a steakhouse. The cooking, mostly over an open flame, brings the best out of the vegetables, fish, and meat, which are carefully selected by the chef.

On the Brome-Missisquoi wine route, a red-brick building dating from 1849 is home to the project of Jean-Martin Fortier, a celebrated and passionate market gardener.

In this bistro, which complements Manoir Hovey's fine dining restaurant, old tools and rustic objects decorate the walls (a rifle, a bow, a canoe, snowshoes, skis, and a saw), making for an inviting and authentic atmosphere. The traditional cuisine with a twist continues in this vein. On the menu: bison tartare accompanied by ribbons of cucumber and celery finished with a black garlic balsamic vinegar gel; scallops come as a carpaccio with lovage oil, or seared with cauliflower, citrus supreme, capers, and gingerbread crumble. It has all the makings of an enjoyable dining experience.
