Some friends introduced us to to Parcelles this evening. Wow! What an awesome experience. Parcelles is a farm with a restaurant onsite. Parcelles brings farm to table to a new level by putting the table in the middle of a farm field. Finding your way to your table at Parcelles you walk through their vegetable garden and past the chickens and are then seated at a picnic table over looking the fields and Lake Memphremagog. It is truly one of the most beautiful settings you can imagine. The menu is a prix fix which in our case included a selection of local cheeses, fresh vegetables, Matane shrimp, and a pizza cooked in their outdoor pizza oven topped off with a blueberry vanilla cake with cream cheese icing.
After a recent article in La Presse resulted in a flood of guests descending on Parcelles they now operate by reservation only. Upon arriving, you place your order and pay right away and you are given a picnic basket with your cutlery and plates which you can take to a picnic table or to a spot in the field if you brought your own picnic blanket. Dogs are welcome.
The food is as spectacular as the setting. This is truly a spot that everyone must try. It is certainly worth planning a day trip from Montréal to enjoy a meal at Parcelles. read more
