La Maisonnette De L'ile J'ai entendu dire par quelques…read morepersonnes que la tarte aux pommes ici était merveilleuse, alors après le déjeuner, je me suis arrêté pour une tarte aux pommes avec une sauce au caramel et un expresso. La maisonnette et la terrasse sont si mignonnes et pittoresques, un endroit merveilleux pour prendre une collation. J'ai été rejoint par un beau coq - un peu effronté mais poli... J'ai partagé un peu de mon palmier avec lui et il a semblé apprécier. Je ne pense pas que ce soit son premier. Après mon expresso, je suis retourné et j'ai trouvé de merveilleux souvenirs, notamment des t-shirts, des sweats à capuche, des vestes et il y avait tellement d'articles pour la maison que je voulais mais que je savais qu'ils ne rentreraient pas dans ma valise. Pourtant, j'ai aussi acheté un magnifique livre pour enfants "Dorianne et Edgar sauvent Noel à l'île d'Orléans" de l'auteure locale Martine Patoine et c'est ravissant. Je n'avais pas réalisé que la copie m'avait posé un problème et, par chance, j'étais garée juste à côté de l'auteur et son mari et son adorable chien m'en ont donné une toute nouvelle parfaite de leur voiture. La chance! Une boutique délicieuse, une tarte aux pommes et un café merveilleux et plein de bonnes choses à l'intérieur! ***** I heard from a few people that the apple pie here was wonderful, so after lunch I stopped in for an apple pie with caramel sauce and espresso. The playhouse and patio are so cute and quaint, a wonderful place to grab a snack. I was joined by a handsome rooster - a little cheeky but polite... I shared some of my palmier with him and he seemed to appreciate it. I don't think this was his first. After my espresso I went back and found some wonderful souvenirs including t-shirts, hoodies, jackets and there were so many home items that I wanted but knew they wouldn't fit in my suitcase. However, I also bought a wonderful children's book "Dorianne and Edgar save Noel on the Island of Orleans" by local author Martine Patoine and it is delightful. I didn't realize I had a problem with the copy and luckily I was parked right next to the author and her husband and adorable dog gave me a perfect brand new one from their car . How lucky! A delicious apple pie and coffee, a wonderful apple pie and coffee, a wonderful shop and lots of goodies inside!

They're in St-Jean, Île d'Orléans, right across from mainland Quebec and apparently strawberry paradise. Everywhere you go on the isle there are strawberries (we were there in July) and they are fresh and natural. At La Confiturerie Tigidou, they make their own jams, jellies, and baked goods plus they let you taste just about anything you desire. Unbelievable place. We ordered scones with ice cream topped with a very light maple syrup and it was out of this world. I tasted their orange marmalade and it was unlike any I had ever tasted in several countries or continents. They also serve coffee, tea, etc. If you're ever in St-Jean, Île d'Orléans do yourself a favor and visit them. You won't regret it. They told us that they'll have a way to order their products online later in the year. I can't wait.

A wonderful experience…read more On my journey through the hills and farms of Quebec City, my family and I ventured onto this lovely jamery. They specialize in fruit jams- particularly in strawberry jams. They offer an Exquisite complimentary tasting experience. You taste basically all their jam products (roughly 12-15) and the host explains the intricacies of each jam. It was a REALLY memorable experience for us- it was like a wine tasting- except with sweets. They have all different kinds of jam flavors- from Spicy to minty to the classics. I was inspired to order a delicious jam Sunday that hey had for sale! My family and I ended up leaving with around $200 usd worth of jams! Love it or dump it? Absolutely love it and highly recommended if you are in the area!

Picture this: soft snow falling on the cobblestone streets of Petit-Champlain, fairy lights glowing, and the warm light spilling out of this beautiful little café. I ducked in both mornings of my short trip and could have happily stayed all day. The interior is perfect Québécois charm: exposed stone walls, wooden beams, cozy lighting, and that unbeatable smell of fresh baking. First morning I ordered the pistachio latte and the quiche Florentine. I would legitimately sell my firstborn for that pistachio latte: silky, perfectly balanced, with a rich, natural pistachio flavor that no syrup could ever match. One sip and I was ruined for life. The quiche was flawless: buttery, flaky crust, creamy spinach-and-cheese filling, baked to golden perfection. Absolute breakfast heaven. I braved a full-on snowglobe blizzard the next morning just to come back. This time I paired the same life-changing pistachio latte with the almond croissant. I'd hand over my other kid for daily access to these croissants (kidding... mostly). Impossibly crisp and flaky outside, cloud-soft inside, generously stuffed with fragrant almond paste, topped with toasted almonds and powdered sugar. I ate it slowly by the window while the snow piled up on Rue Notre-Dame and honestly felt like the luckiest person alive. The baristas were friendly, the vibe warm and unhurried, and everything was flawless. If you're in Quebec City, make La Maison Smith non-negotiable (and budget time to visit at least twice). Five stars isn't enough. This place is winter-morning perfection.
