We both like the crab the most. The sweetness was unbeatable. The gourmet sandwich was very tasty. The lobster meat from claw and leg was over cooked. Nothing special. Not recommended. All the other thing we got were amazing.

Rimouski sure is the major centre of the region of Gaspé. You can watch the tides come and go and…read morewhen the tide is lower you sure get the scents of the Ocean. While some say it stinks (it really does in August) I enjoy the smells of the sea! Something about the cool breeze from the freezing cold water mixing on a warm summer night is so special and peaceful. Being a Coastal community where land meets the ocean you have a wonderful selection of fresh seafood present. There are many seafood shops but Poisonnerie Gagnon is one of the best. Very clean and offering an array of fresh, frozen seafood and prepared meals. It's a great place to come and enjoy the fruits of the sea if this is your game. I myself am a C-food fanatic. I'd much prefer fish, lobster or shrimp to a steak. Some people are people of the land I must come from descendants of the sea! On my visit I scoped the place out the night before for some fresh ocean critters to take home on my journey back to Montreal. My choice was some lobster and I love bringing back cooked bugs of the sea. It's so much easier than having to boil them at home. All you have to do is crack them apart and enjoy the succulent meat. They had cooked lobster for $12.95 a pound. So I picked up a jumbo 2.5 pound one and a 1.5 pounder. no difference in price for large or small. Delicious fresh and from the Gaspé coast. If ocean creatures are your choice this is a fine place to come visit. They even have take home coolers and offer ice. Conveniently located the E end of town right off the autoroute 132 on the way up to Matane.

We decided to stop by this cute town of Rimouski and while we were researching Narval came up as…read moreone of the best restaurants here. It was also recommended by our Airbnb host as a place that uses local ingredients. I was lucky to get a reservation due to some last minute cancellation. At the restaurant, the chef (I believe it was the chef) came over to say that "looks like you were able to get a reservation" bc I had put my name on the waiting list. So do no that if you want to drink alcohol here that it's Bring Your Own Wine. The staff wasn't sure if we knew since we weren't locals and I think the chef offered us beer that he got for us. That was so nice but my husband didn't want to drink as he wanted to make sure he would be okay to drive and then make sure I'm ok because of my injured foot he declined. But we hope they were not offended. We had really appreciated the gesture! Now on to the food. It was AMAZING and so delicious! The presentation was absolutely beautiful. The flavors were well balanced. The food was very fresh. We even tried the snails -- that was interesting :) My husband has eaten snails before but it was my first time. The staff was very friendly :) Definitely recommend!

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.

There are plenty of places to sit indoors and the place has a nice feel to it so I can see it being a popular place to hang out. Personally, I didn't like my latte as they scalded the milk but that could easily be a one-off. I'd go again if I were in the area as good coffee shops (i.e. not Tim Horton's :-) ) are few and far between in that part of Quebec.

I did buy a couple bottles and will update once they've been consumed. It's a neat boutique of honey-based products and you can see the bees in their hive. I purchased some loose honey tea that was a blend of calendula, pollen granules, and chamomile. It's very good. I also bought some lemon-honey candies for my dad and some propolis for me. We didn't end up getting to see the museum, so perhaps on another visit.
