Croissants were decent. Coffee amazing. So much so, I bought a bag to go. I only been here for lunch and afternoon coffee break, but they also have sandwiches and pizzas. What won me over, as with most of Quebec, is the civilized manner of running business. Never too busy to answer a question and when I forgot my coffee grounds, it was set aside and waiting for me the following morning.

I was in the mood for a healthy lunch and this restaurant seemed to have many good options. The restaurant itself was super cute. As for food, I opted for a pulled ham salad and my boyfriend ordered a pulled ham sandwich. While he was underwhelmed with his meal (especially since it was a little bit expensive), I thought that my salad was absolutely delicious. I would definitely recommend!!

I ate here twice in my short stay in Montmagny…read more It is a great location for a relaxing and delicious breakfast. The menu is laid out each morning with the freshly baked goods and the other dishes such as sweet or savoury crepes. I personally loved the sweetness from the chocolatine with almonds with the almond filling and the crepe with the fruits and creme anglais (also called custard, but much less viscous than traditional custard) As well, the normal chocolatine was very flaky and buttery with a hint of the chocolate inside of it. I would recommend getting a savoury crepe (which can contain ham, cheese, and/or egg traditionally) and getting a sweet pastry to get a nice balanced breakfast. In the breakfast menu you can get a crepe, which also comes with a bowl of hot chocolate. It is a great place to eat and try some very delicious pastries. 5/5

Every region has its "best coffee shop." For Charlevoix, this is it! The owner grew up in…read moreCharlevoix and after completing his studies came back and opened this coffee shop. The espresso shots have amazing, velvety créma. The pastries are made in house, and the pastry chef is on hand to describe his creations with French charm. We tried several coffee shops in the region, and we found ourselves coming back to this one on a daily basis. It's worth the drive, even if you are not staying in Baie-Sainte-Paul.

In an obscure plaza next to McDonalds is a place that is a true remedy for a cold winter afternoon…read more Warm soups, freshly baked baguettes with smoked meat, some croissants to seal the deal. It's a very popular, casual bakery that does a truly phenomenal at being what is needs to be: a place of comfort and happiness. Opened in 2022 and ran by a couple ladies, Maggie and Emma, there is a high focus here on the local terroir. Think local Charlevoix cheeses from places like Fromagerie Migneron and regional honey. Sandwiches are phenomenal. Their classic cabbage soup is as comforting as it gets. People are kind and hardworking. So, do yourself a favor and skip the McDonalds next door to enjoy something authentic and delicious.

BOTTOM LINE: Your poutine pit-stop FTW!…read more I don't usually like to review places I've only gone to once, and may never return again (at least not for a long while), but I'll make an exception for this place because during my recent excursion through QC, this roadside diner had, quite possibly, one of the best poutines I've ever had. Anywhere. First, the fries tasted fresh, crispy, and were Goldilocks-sized (not too thin, not too thick). Second, cheese curds, and lots of it! Third, the gravy was really well done, and you can't have great poutine without getting the gravy right. It had a rich (but not too rich) flavour to it, and a nice viscosity. And finally, fourth, the portions were generous! I had the classic poutine, but they had the usual varieties you see in this region, including smoked meat and shrimp (crevettes). They also had the usual diner offerings you'd expect, but, like, whatever, just get the poutine. :)
