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.

Tucked away on a side street in a small seaside town, Couleur Chocolat is the classic hidden gem…read more Stopped by on our adventures in the Gaspe region, and glad we did. Their chocolate is sublime - smooth, delicate, flavourful. We got quute a number of things, from their standard chocolate bars (dark chocolate rice bark, dark chocolate with raspberry and toasted nori) to their truffles (mix and match pre-packaged pairs, thei special "forest" collection series). While definitely on the expensive side, this is one of those times that it was worth it. The thing that stood out besides the sublime quality of the chocolate was how they were trying to be inventive, not in a gimmicky way, but in an exploratory one. They had a couple of "posters" up that explained their process. One talked about the blending if the artistry with math and science (chemistry) to make their chocolates. The other talked about how they drew inspiration from the region to get their flavours. And I'm a sucker for this - I love people who experiment, and I love people who look outwards and try to promote their communities. So Couleur Chocolat, you definitely had me at hello.

Location: Tucked away on a residential street in Sainte-Anne-des-Monts…read more The place: The space is quite small and smells delicious. The goods: They have several varieties of chocolate on offer: ganaches in different flavours, bars (milk, dark), stuffed bars (i.e. passion fruit ganache) as well as other creative offerings. I purchased a box of 18 + a pack of fruit ganaches, a bar with passion fruit filling + one with yuzu, a milk chocolate bar and Whippets! Well, they reminded me of Whippets - they were two lovely domes of dark chocolate covering raspberry on cookie bottoms. So good! Service: Good. Price point: On par with other good chocolatiers. I am thrilled they deliver =-D

Still the best smoked salmon that one can buy.

They kindly gave me a cooler and ice bags to take it back to Montreal. A true treat when in Matane!

I came to Matane for business but in serious search of an excellent seafood shop to take some ocean…read morefood back home to Montreal. When I entered BP we were in search for a quick lunch but was pleasantly surprised to see the selection and display quality of seafood, spices, sweet jams and sauces and desserts. Everything was very nicely displayed behind large see-through glass displays and they had an excellent selection of both fresh and frozen. Also, they had an amazing selection of prepared seafood salads. In the back of the Poissonnerie is a lunch restaurant with a little menu of seafood based items. Giddy with excitement I ordered the Fish and chips trio $12.95 (shrimp, cod and scallops). It came in a very nice light batter and the chips were crisp and light. You could really taste the freshness of the seafood but I was a bit disappointed with the serving size. A little on the smaller side! My work colleague ordered the seafood soup and he was a bit disappointed of the serving size also. However the taste and quality was quite good! Now onto the seafood. I brought back some "famous" Matane shrimp, fresh snow crab (season just started last week), seafood salad and tuna tartar. I planned my pickup in the night time just before 7:00 PM closing. As I have been to the store's at closing time the staff is usually more interested in going home than providing customer service but this was an exception. The two different women helping me were extremely courteous and provided attentive polite service! I was impressed to say the least! They pack your seafood in styrofoam coolers with ice and I was planning on eating it 24 hrs later. When I opened the box it still had some ice! Wow! If I lived in Matane I'd come here weekly but alas I'm more than 600 KM away. Looking forward to my next visit.

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.
