We decided to stop by this cute town of Rimouski and while we were researching Narval came up as…read moreone of the best restaurants here. It was also recommended by our Airbnb host as a place that uses local ingredients. I was lucky to get a reservation due to some last minute cancellation. At the restaurant, the chef (I believe it was the chef) came over to say that "looks like you were able to get a reservation" bc I had put my name on the waiting list. So do no that if you want to drink alcohol here that it's Bring Your Own Wine. The staff wasn't sure if we knew since we weren't locals and I think the chef offered us beer that he got for us. That was so nice but my husband didn't want to drink as he wanted to make sure he would be okay to drive and then make sure I'm ok because of my injured foot he declined. But we hope they were not offended. We had really appreciated the gesture! Now on to the food. It was AMAZING and so delicious! The presentation was absolutely beautiful. The flavors were well balanced. The food was very fresh. We even tried the snails -- that was interesting :) My husband has eaten snails before but it was my first time. The staff was very friendly :) Definitely recommend!

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.

Français : Chocolat Favoris est meilleur. Alors que la version molle a une meilleure consistance…read moreAux Bienfaits et est plus succulente, le chocolat de Chocolat Favoris est beaucoup plus riche et plus épais. J'ADORE Aux Bienfaits, cependant, et ils ont aussi des gâteaux/desserts incroyables. Ils sont généralement plutôt gentils, mais peuvent être tanné si vous prenez trop de temps à commander ou si vous êtes confus. Je dois nommer de GRANDS honneurs à leur molle à l'érable et à leurs enrobages de chocolat au lait ET de chocolat au caramel salé. Voici également un conseil pour obtenir plus de chocolat : demandez votre molle dans un bol, mais demandez la taille de molle que vous souhaitez dans un bol d'une taille PLUS GROS. Cela permet a la molle d'être entièrement enrobé de chocolat. Si vous ne souhaitez pas demander de bol, vous pouvez également demander votre cornet doublement trempé. English: Chocolat Favoris is better. While the soft serve here has a better consistency and is more luscious, the chocolate at Chocolat Favoris is so much richer and thicker. I do LOVE Aux Bienfaits, though, and they have incredible incredible cakes/desserts as well. They're usually pretty nice, but can get annoyed with you if you take too long to order or get confused. I have to give HIGH honors to their maple soft serve and their milk chocolate AND salted caramel chocolate coatings. Also here's a tip to get more chocolate: ask for your soft serve in a bowl, but ask for the size ice cream you want in a cup one size UP. This allows the soft serve to be fully coated with chocolate. If you don't want to ask for a cup, you can also ask for your cone double dipped.
