    Fromagerie Perron is a place many of my Québécois friends mention is famous for cheese in the the…read moreSaguenay-Lac St Jean Region. So I had to check it out! For those that are unaware(or who live life as a caveman), Quebec really does have some excellent fromageries! The Quebec french culture dates back over 400 years to ancestry from France and the art of cheese making has carried on and flourished in many areas of the province throughout the years! It was a nice surprise to see they even have a newly constructed dining room attached to the cheese shop where you can catch lunch. The highlight of the dining room was a poutine bar where you could slather as much cheese, different kinds of meat, peppers, onions and of course three kinds of sauce all over some fries! One visit to the poutine bar was $12 while all you can eat was $16. For me, a visit to the poutine bar would have put me straight to a deep coma sleep so I decided just to have a burger with small poutine and salad. Burger and serving was awesome! It tasted as it was a pork burger but had a nice touch to it. The salad was fresh with crunchy lettuce and a nice dressing. Poutine size was small but just enough to give you a taste and enjoy serving. The cheese shop had many jams and sauces all regional. I ended up buying some blueberry products (jams, syrups and of course a nice bag of cheese curds. The curds had a nice squeak to them but different from other cheese shops. Not as creamy as other places but nice and lighter tasting. I would definitely chalk this up as a must visit if in the area either for some easy souvenirs, to experience some of their awesome cheeses or to have a nice lunch. Or test some great poutine or other delicious items on the menu. Really I don't think you will be disappointed. I sure wasn't!

    One of my local business contacts mentioned this was the place to come for delicious prepared food…read moreitems. He mentioned you must try a tourtière du Saguenay. I asked what the hell was that? He said just get one. With a beer, blueberry pie du lac St Jean, you can't go wrong! "It's a Boucherie next to a dollar store". "Just go" he said! Also mentioned was when it's the December holiday and Christmas time they need to prepare all their tourtière du Saguenay three months in advance as demand is so high. So my intrigue and curiosity was on super high alert!!! I was travelling with a cooler as I'm always looking for new food adventures. For sure I needed to stop by! We entered the store and the people there gave the look of you definitely are not from here! I explained what we were in search of and they showed us lots of local treats. Really they felt honoured we were told of their shop! One guy even spoke English to me (a rarity in the region). Fresh home made jams........Wow the strawberry when I brought home I wish I bought 4 more of! After perusing around I ended up buying three toutieres and some turkey jerky. This is the kind of place where I could seriously do some decent damage. The toutieres were in many different sizes and I bought some that were $12.49. Sure you may think expensive but these weighed like a brick. We froze them when we arrived home and I ate one tonight and it was fantastic. Big cubes of potato plus pork morsels, beef cubes and ground beef. It was a tad salty but overall a delicious meal. Easily enough for three hungry people or four moderate eaters. I'd consider it more of a cold weather comfort food but today it was delish! The turkey jerky was amazing. Not too salty and smoked turkey chunks very flavourful and meaty. Many other products were available. A full butcher shop plus seafood, jams jellies and other prepared delights like toutiere of salmon and chicken. If you are in the region and like food you must come here! If you don't you are missing out. It's an experience of a lifetime!
