If you happen to be in Quebec Province and travelling from Montreal to Quebec City or vice versa, there are several towns you might stop in to get a cross sectional sample of history, from Chambly, a synthetic, plant and just add water instant suburb in the middle of a corn field, to Cowansville and Waterloo, Bromont and Shefford, places that are seeing tradition eclipsed by suburban sprawl, are still mainly agricultural, and are seeing some hard times, but as they will tell you, hard times are nothing new for these towns that started as pioneer settlements four centuries ago. In any case, to get a sense of all this, I would recommend stopping in at the local boulangerie in any of these towns, getting an elaborate pastry such as tartelette aux fruits, milles feuilles, napoleon, paris-brest, chocolatine or just an eclair with a great cup of coffee, capuccino, espresso, tea, or your choice of caffeinated beverage, and look out the window as people walk by and take you through a story both fascinating and sad at the same time. If you can, buy a loaf of bread to take with you, and if you are feeling forgetful you might neglect to realize this until you are safely back at home.

WOW what an awesome breakfast spot, one of the best I've been to in a long time! In addition to an "all American breakfast" they also have beignets, poutine, amazing French toast, and so much more. The ambience is your typical breakfast resturant but there are SOOO many options. The paper menus are all in French but online they have an English menu. Highly recommend!

The poached eggs were in a dish in water, the cheese had obviously been (very thinly) sliced some time ago and the white mold (brie cheese) spreading to the dried out cut surface. The plate I ordered was supposed to come with rye toast, however they served a few pre-spread slices in a basket for the table, not even a slice per person, soggy and cold.

Your carrot cake was dry, your icing had hints of cream cheese and outrageously prices at $12.00 for a 500gr round cake, that was unsliced or unfilled. St. Raphael has a Pretty sad and delusional baker to think they have the best in the World. What world stage did your cake compete on to win? Easy bake oven competition? Everyone don't waste your time energy or money on that carrot cake.
