In researching for authentic places on the Gaspésie peninsula we came across this place and as it…read morewas on the way to where we were going we decided to give it a try. Boy did we luck out! Jackpot!!! Their maple cookies in the refrigerated section are amazing! Homemade, not overly sweet and fresh! Also got a chocolate and raspberry desert. It was soooo good we thought we were in Paris. We kicked ourselves for only getting one. They were so friendly and kind! There was no question as to us stopping on the way back to Quebec City! Highly recommend this place. A country gem, the real deal!

You aren't sure what to expect when you enter this little Cabane at the junction of the round-about…read moreof the 132 and the entrance to Mont Joli. The exterior is like any Cabane you have ever visited in your life. However when you enter inside amazing bakery scents hit your senses and a boutique full of local and regional products is awaiting your discovery. As someone who loves food I very much enjoy discovering regional products and culinary treats. So when encountering a place like this (I need to shop wisely) or else I can buy up the whole store. Products offered are a wide selection of fresh baked goods and so many mouth watering treats. Of course many items with a big maple twist. You have maple candies, maple glazed cookies, maple cinnamon buns and the list goes on. The. There are jelly's jams, maple syrup and what I found most interesting (and rarely seen) products from The Magdelan islands. My favourite scores from the visit were the cinnamon buns with maple glaze and cookies with maple glaze. If you are a sweet tooth or maple-a-holic this place is for you! Prices are reasonable and everything looks and smells delicious.

The fromagerie was a disappointment…read more Number one, don't think you are walking into a traditional cheese shop in France or even Québec City. You are not. The place is big but the selections not so much. It is designed like what it is, a tourist venue. That said, this is a highly popular place for the locals to meet and greet and catch the contagion-of-excitement in a line up to buy the local specialty, Basque cheese curds (like strings) in a sealed bag of various sizes. For me, the cheese was inedible. It is loaded with salt and you cannot taste the fresh natural cheese because it is LOADED with way too much salt. Additionally, if you are an additive conscious individual and try to avoid unnecessary non-natural ingredients then you'll not be pleased to find "calcium chloride" added here also. We tried other cheeses offered for sale, bries. They were OK, not theirs, nothing special - but I noticed calcium chloride present also. Commercially available Brie in supermarches or supermarkets either in France or the U.S. do not have these needless additions normally. Again, for me, the salt issue in their specialty of the house cheese made it inedible for me and I feel this is more about the hype, the "sizzle", and not about quality substance. I cannot recommend personally at all.

I'm the cheese eater in my family and we researched this place diligently before vacationing in…read moreGaspé early this June, 2025. First off it is an incredibly popular place, a meeting place, where locals get on a buying 'Conga Line' to snatch the next cheese offerings being replenished energetically by staff. The most talked about was the bags of Basque "cheese curds" a varietal specialty - so I bought plenty of plain and one bag mixed with garlic and green herbs (note this bag was the better choice actuall). The unfortunate thing here is they use the unnecessary additives of "Calcium Chloride" salts (clearly marked on their plastic label) and may also use "Titanium Dioxide" to give it the (super) white color (this latter point I cannot vouchsafe for as a French Label of ingredients and price per Kg was superimposed on the sealed bag but I thought I saw it). In any event given the unbelievable amount they sell additives of any type are simply not necessary at all! Now, about the salt! The cheese strings (curds) are absolutely LOADED with it! Like a hot dog drenched in saline solution! Hey, I like salt too, but there is SO much of it you aren't eating cheese but like a bag of potato chips you aren't eating potatoes either, but salted fried chips more often than not. Same applies here. The natural aspect of farmers cheese is lost in a salt drench. We also bought some brie there not theirs, it was OK no complaints. Except once again't "Calcium Chloride" was added. I mean you can buy "President's" Brie or "ile de France" and have none of this in a local supermarket- here or in France! This place is all "hat no cattle" for this transplanted Texan - and as a cheese lover absolutely not worth you time or your Canadian or American dollars.

THE BEST POUTINE! I…read moregrew up around Quebecois family and now that I live out of the country, when I get the opp to have poutine, I can only wish it is within La Belle Province, and especially from this little gem of a resto! The portions are immense, so either make sure you're super hungry or sharing with someone else. The fries are spot-on cooked to perfection, the gravy is just right (not too salty, not too liquidy) and of course the best part is the fresh squeaky cheese curds! And they are not shy about how much of this yummy white cheese they put on the portions. If you have never had a real poutine made with real squeaky cheese curds, then you're just plain missing out. We opted for the original creation, altho this location does offer alllllll kinds of poutine creations. My brother is a big guy (6'4") and a big eater, but he could barely finish his large order. He lives in Western Canada and stated that "they don't know what they're doing out there!" after eating this traditional Quebecoise poutine! I had a small and it was just right for my appetite. The eat-in space is small but cozy and not meant for a lengthy stay. The area is kept clean and tidy. Parking is okay, but can be sparse since the adjoined parking lot is small-ish. Good thing they offer drive-thru service, which our family use and prefer. Their feedback is that this mode of take away is always fast, friendly and delicious. Wheelchair accessible spaces. Bathroom is clean. Kudos to the VERY kind and VERY efficient team members who were working when we popped into the resto. They were willing to try their best at speaking English with my brother. He appreciated that! Merci! Thank you! This is the best of 4 poutine places we've tried in during our visits to Quebec, and it is ranked as number 1 in our experience!

On est allé vendredi soir et la fille qui nous a servi nous a très bien conseillé! Numéro unread more
