Both these things up the stars for this place. Which leads me to the food. Got a pizza and fisherman platter. While not bad, it's basically fast food quality at high non-fa$tfood prices. Oof.

There are homard shacks and some very rustic looking diners up here amongst the dining options (it's a stunningly beautiful area especially riding on the Bay of Chaleur). However, in some of the larger tourist towns like Gaspe and Carleton-sur-mer there is the Dixie Lee...which actually has one USA locale on the edge of the 1000 Islands in Ogdensburg NY. There are several of these out here and in the Martimes..and there also used to be quite a few in Eastern Ontario in the Lake Ontario/1000 Islands region (was started in Belleville between Kingston and Toronto). This is actually some pretty decent poulet frit...sort of in the vain of the KFC original recipe (minus the grease), krinke cut fries, a cole slaw that is also similar ala Colonel. The subtle nicety is the chicken sauce which is right out of the classic Montreal rotisserie BBQ variety (think St Hubert or Swiss Chalet). In Canada it's almost sacrilegious not to have gravy on your fries... And separating this fast food chain from most...Dixie Lee does not feel like one has swallowed a boulder after consumption.

Earlier on the waitress told us that service is a bit slow as they are busy. Fair enough but a reserved table next to ours received its guests (5 people) later on and their food (same dish as us) before us. When asked, the waitress said this was due to them having had reservations, and we didn't! Go figure. The food however was good. If not for the service this review would have been 4-5 stars.

They had a menu that has a very large offering of selection with 4 daily specials. I had decided that where I was I needed to try the Shrimp sandwich (as in the Gaspe region shrimp is 'a plenty!) Man - o man...what came out was a very generous portion of shrimp sandwich with little Matane-style shrimp overflowing! It had a nice tartar style sauce on the bun and I switched the fries for a house salad. I'm a true believer in testing out the local menu dishes and this delivered the ticket! Service was efficient, attentive and sincere. I'd come back anytime.

It hits the spot when you're hungry on the road, but not necessarily a destination in itself. I have to admit that their items might be a little over priced, but I understand they need to make their money during summer, as tourist season is pretty short in Gaspésie. The sitting area is fine and they have good protective measures regarding the pandemic. It might have been useful to have a menu outside, as only one client is allowed at a time, and people have to move around the restaurant looking through windows to see their menu... I debated giving a 4 stars review, as I know it is important to encourage local cantines, but my honest rating would have been 3,5/5.
