Hébergement Stornoway

Deep in the countryside of the Haut-Saint-François (Eastern Townships), this rural farm is the brainchild of market gardener Yannick Côté and chef Daniel Charbonneau (ex L'Empreinte in Sherbrooke). The meal kicks off with a glass of cider on the covered patio facing a brasero, before you move into a wood-rich interior furnished in a vintage vibe. The set menu works with produce from the farm and the area, including some 80 different fruits, veg and herbs. Raw Gaspésie bluefin tuna, stewed peaches in honey and spicy lacto-fermented red pepper achieve an incredible balance. An immersive, authent

Beneath the stone vaults of the École d'Entrepreneurship de Beauce, Ariel Cardinal-Petit champions modern cuisine made entirely with produce from Quebec. Snow crab croquettes or chawanmushi, Arctic char from the Gaspé Peninsula or rhubarb dessert are testament to the careful preparation and rich variety on offer.

This pocket-sized restaurant and wine bar with a minimalist decor has a few tables and two counters, one of which provides a front-row view of the micro-kitchen.

Passionate about food and wine pairings, she curates a selection of natural wines, mostly from Québec and Nordic climes.

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.

Two tasting menus are available, one of which is vegetarian, in addition to an à la carte menu. Wine lovers will want to peruse the digital wine list boasting most of wonderful references. Gentl
