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

On our last evening of trip to Quebec we had our best meal in this restaurant that's entirely run…read moreby women with lots of dishes created with native vegetables. The food is Michelin quality and we tried salicorne (which taste like al dente pea vine) and tête de violon (fiddlehead is the English name and it tastes similar to asparagus) . Didn't get a chance to take a picture of my fiddlehead appetizer since I devoured it immediately! I tried to use Google Translate to understand the menu but the friendly waitress was more than happy to explain it to me in English. Another bonus - it's a family friendly restaurant and although they don't have a kids menu (let's be honest, they are usually bad anyway). They offer half portion for the kids which works out better anyway!

They were very accommodating and let us sit at the bar on a very crowded Friday evening. You could watch the chef and two sous chefs prepare all the meals. They had a very interesting menu although we were tired and it was late and we just got a hamburger and they very graciously made up a green salad for my wife. The hamburger was one of the best I've ever had. It had bacon and onion rings on it with a wonderful sauce and came with a salad and, of course, french fries. My wife had a great green salad. At the bar you can watch them prepare all the meals. If you're American and a bit squeamish you may not like the fact that they seem to mix all the ingredients without gloves are washing their hands. You had the sense that they were very proud of the food they were serving. We were staying in a hotel around the corner which was a bit creepy and this was a wonderful respite. There seem to be a lot of restaurants in this area but not a lot with great reviews. This is definitely worth stopping in for a great meal.

The menu is simple with enough variety for most anyone including vegetarians. The crepes are the star of the menu and are a great choice. I'm not complaining, but the portions are not huge.

The staff was excellent and very helpful with the menu and choices, in French and in English. It's a change of pace from some of the other breakfast spots in the area and I hope it does well.
