A delightful century old home turned into a restaurant in Amqui. It's not only a restaurant but…read moreAuberge and also a small specialty food store (selling jarred jams, sauces, packaged spices and other food treasures) plus also a chocolate shop. You don't find many of these old fashioned period decorated restaurants these days. This one harks back to a different era and is pleasan charming and comfortable. My eating companion mentioned that they have a set menu (of 6-8 choices) that changes each day and if you get there late your selection may be eliminated by popular demand. Prices are very reasonable and the food is all gourmet home cooked. I had selected the soup to start (sweet onion and cheese) which was very simple yet deliciously rich in flavour. Then I had a salad with the seafood casserole (tilapia, salmon and imitation crab in a cream sauce). It was very generous in seafood and really tasty and rich. I'm not really a fan of Tilapia but in here it was really good! Serving size was perfect! My lunch mate had the pork tenderloin with a mustard sauce with sweet potato and beans. She mentioned the pork was a bit dry but with the sauce it was decent He good! For dessert they had a decadent, rich hazelnut cheesecake that was to die for! First class! The gift shop is a very clever touch! Why not promote gourmet sauces, spices and jams plus other delights before or after your meal. The chocolate shop is even more genius. With so many choc-oholics and a high level of homemade chocolate you could make a fortune here! Really adds to the ambiance (that this is like eating at a vintage premiere moisson only better)! I picked up some chocolates for home and have enjoyed them quite a bit so far! This could be the best restaurant in Amqui and I know I will be back if and when the opportunity returns!

I may have just had the best fried halibut dinner in my life here in this wonderful little…read moretreasure; and a slice of lemon pie and coffee completed the meal nicely. The serving of halibut was generous and it was perfectly prepared. Service was friendly and efficient. The small restaurant that is part of this poissonerie was quite busy on a Wednesday night in early September so clearly others knew about this little gem (recommended to us by our motel clerk- thank you!) just across from the big church in the centre of Ste.-Anne-des-Monts. Around us were diners enjoying lobster, turbot, cod, scallops, chowder and variations on "fruites de mer".

On our way to Gaspé we stopped to have lunch here. The staff are extremely nice and friendly and of…read moregreat help to pick your favourite from the menu. I had the Les Deliciouses (Crab), my wife had the trio (shrimp, calamari and cod). So happy we are :)

I came to Matane for business but in serious search of an excellent seafood shop to take some ocean…read morefood back home to Montreal. When I entered BP we were in search for a quick lunch but was pleasantly surprised to see the selection and display quality of seafood, spices, sweet jams and sauces and desserts. Everything was very nicely displayed behind large see-through glass displays and they had an excellent selection of both fresh and frozen. Also, they had an amazing selection of prepared seafood salads. In the back of the Poissonnerie is a lunch restaurant with a little menu of seafood based items. Giddy with excitement I ordered the Fish and chips trio $12.95 (shrimp, cod and scallops). It came in a very nice light batter and the chips were crisp and light. You could really taste the freshness of the seafood but I was a bit disappointed with the serving size. A little on the smaller side! My work colleague ordered the seafood soup and he was a bit disappointed of the serving size also. However the taste and quality was quite good! Now onto the seafood. I brought back some "famous" Matane shrimp, fresh snow crab (season just started last week), seafood salad and tuna tartar. I planned my pickup in the night time just before 7:00 PM closing. As I have been to the store's at closing time the staff is usually more interested in going home than providing customer service but this was an exception. The two different women helping me were extremely courteous and provided attentive polite service! I was impressed to say the least! They pack your seafood in styrofoam coolers with ice and I was planning on eating it 24 hrs later. When I opened the box it still had some ice! Wow! If I lived in Matane I'd come here weekly but alas I'm more than 600 KM away. Looking forward to my next visit.

Still the best smoked salmon that one can buy. Recently I came back and purchased 5 pieces (it…read morefreezes really well!) the flavour is a mix of rich salmon, slight salty, smokey rich flavour and melt in your mouth. They kindly gave me a cooler and ice bags to take it back to Montreal. A true treat when in Matane!
