You don't want to be let down with mediocre or sub mediocrity in terms of food. This place really hit the mark. Like a total home run! Firstly it's a cracking good bakery with fresh artisanal bread. Secondly they do very high quality coffee. Thirdly they have sandwiches, soup and other great lunch items. My lunch I selected a seafood soup. It was rich, not salty and deliciously home made. Also as my ancestors must have come from the sea I had a Gaspesian smoked mackerel sandwich. It was one of the best sandwiches I've had in quite some time. Like blew my mind how good it was. It was tiny morsels of smoked fresh fish, thin apple slices. Shredded cabbage and a very nice light dressing. Holy macaroni it was amazing. I'd never think I'd have a smoked mackerel sandwich but I may try to replicate it at home. To round off the meal I ordered a capucinno and it was totally on point. Creamy. Piping hot and strong yet not bitter. To bring back to the grand ville I brought back two loaves of bread. Crispy, crunchy and soft in the centre. You would think a cafe like this would be in the Mille end Montreal or on Ave McGuire in QC or in SOHO in NYC but it's wonderfully amazing! When I Think of the options of coming here or eating at a place like St Hubert it's clear in my mind where I'd rather spend my money!

The place: So, this is a food truck - but there are tables outside so you can eat there or take your stuff to go. The food: SO GOOD. In fact, during our 2.5 day stay, we went twice! Our first visit was after a 6-hour drive so we were famished. My friend and I both ordered the poutine and it was awesome. The fries weren't greasy, they were generous with the fromage and the gravy was perfect. Gravy is key to making a good poutine. Our second meal involved club sandwiches with a side of fries; again, the fries were great and the club sandwich was excellent. They offer a good variety of other eats too, like burgers, grilled cheese and hot dogs. Service: Good. Price point: I can't remember the exact prices but they were pretty decent, especially when compared to some of the other restaurants in the village. I'll be back next year when they reopen for the 2022 season!

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.

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.

Street parking is available but check the signage as most of it is paid and, in some places, has a cap of 30 minutes. The place: Nice little café that's run out of a converted house. I didn't stay in but the place was clean, had great light and if I recall, a section where you can sit down with your laptop and do a little work. The bathrooms were also clean! The goods: I stopped in twice and got the Mocha with oat milk and thoroughly enjoyed it. They do have a small variety of pastries and other goods if you're feeling peckish. Service: OK Price point: It's a little on the expensive side - my coffee was $6.03 with taxes, which is pretty steep considering the size of the cup. At that price point, I'd expect to get a large vs the small that I got. They've only got one cup size, as well.
