In addition to selling cheese and other goodies, inside the cheese shop is a counter that makes and sells hot food! We ordered a grilled cheese sandwich with mushrooms, a baguette sandwich, a large poutine and everything was delicious. The cheese was flavourful. The baguette was perfectly crisp and chewy. The poutine was delightful - with lots of cheese curds, sweet corn and veggie gravy. I picked up a bottle of Raw Quebec Honey for my mom and she absolutely loved the deep flavour. I also bought a bag of D'Antan Maple Potato Donuts for myself and the donuts were epic - so soft, great maple flavour yet not too sweet.

It was walking distance from our hotel and a beautiful day! Behold my biggest food dream all in one little shop. We had delicious, freshly made grilled cheeses (including poire et brie), baguette with smoked salmon, perfectly cooked French fries, and even the side salad was tasty. You can also take cheese samplers to go and all the accouterments you could ever want. They had many other unique products like Goat Milk Caramel and smoked trout. Be sure to visit. You will not be disappointed!

Not only is the cheese selection superb, we lucked out with the one guy who actually spoke English. By the time we were done we ended up with a delightful lunch of cheese and one of the best terrines I have ever had (why don't we have these more in the states?). The bakery next door provided a tasty baguette and the coffee shop was a relaxing setting to put it all together. This is very much a local spot and if you don't speak the language, like us you may find yourself fumbling but all the purveyors were paitent. I would definatly come back here. The correct address for this place is. 2500 Ch des Quatre Bourgeois, Sainte-Foy, QC G1V 4P9, Canada. Do not use the yelp one, you'll end up in an industrial park.

You mean, I don't have to lose a day flying to France?!! You fufill our French-Canadian ethnic eats too! If you follow your nose to Les Halles du Petit Quartier on Avenue Cartier a few blocks outside of the old city walls of Quebec, you will be rewarded with the best cheese on this continent. When we visited early September 2009, we found this gem of a foodie paradise mall which held Aux Petit Delices, a fromagerie (cheese and charcuterie shop). We were drooling over the cheeses when the owner of the place came over. He said that he comes from a long line of cheese masters. He explained and handed us samplings of a variety of cheeses for over a half an hour. We were stuffed and we still had to meet some friends for lunch! This week we dragged some friends to this delightful place. We grabbed some strong blue cheese, brie, camembert, and smooth foie gras truffle cheeses. We ordered duck terrine (melt in your mouth fatty duck pate) and bresola (chewy salty prosciutto) from their charcuterie counter. We grabbed some baguettinis from the local boulangerie (also in this foodie mall) and snarfed our make shift sandwiches in their food court. My husband grabbed some large Quebecois beer in the beer store to wash things down. Sitting across from the patisserie certainly did not help. Of course, we had to order a scrumptious moulin de fruits which was the best tasting "profiterole" ever! Why can't the Americans get cream right like the Quebecois! The citron creme brûlée and napoleon were not as memorable. Needless to say, my friends were impressed. This beats any overpriced touristy restaurant. (Avoid the menus printed in French and English!)

As it turns out the day was the only rainy one all week, but that didn't matter since we spent the afternoon driving from cidery to brewery to distillery, all within a few miles or less of each other. We even got to sit outside under a porch roof with blankets to keep warm while we had a wine flight as it poured. Quite memorable. Next time we will turn right when we get onto the island and see where it leads us.

It is a nice day trip from the city and it can be combined with a nearby visit to Morntmorency falls and Basilique Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupre. The island is 21 miles long and 7 miles wide. It is accessible from the the mainland of Quebec by the Ile-d'Orleans bridge. The Chemin Royale road encircles the entire island. While traveling the Chemin Royale road you will encounter small cottage industries specializing in various agricultural products. Cassis Monna & Filles winery has tours and tasting. Fromagerie Biese d' Epinelle specializes in cheese and dairy products. Chocolaterie de-Ile Orleans haschocolate, fudge and other chocolate based products with no preservatives. La Boulange-Saint-Jean-de-Ile-Orleans sells bakery goods and pasteries while LaCuisine d'Ete-Saint-Laurent-de-Ile'Orleans has exceptional maple syrup. There are also histirical stops along the way. The Manor Mauvide Genest built in 1734 was the home of Jean Mauvide, who was the surgeon for King of France. Stop by one of the many churches along the way. I recommend Eglise de Saint Jean Saint Pierre. With the Laurentian Plateau to the North, the Appalachian Mountains to the South and views of the Atlantic Ocean and Saint Lawrence Seaway, the Chemin Royale road is a scenic drive in it's own right. Enjoy small cottage industries in a rolling hills pastoral setting.
