Please take note this review is for the gas station portion, and not the groceries, but we still…read morehad to go in the grocery store to pay. We had to stop to get gas on our way back home, as the car needed it. We stopped at the gas pump, and there were no instructions to pay. Also, there were no places to put your bank card in and pay direct. As a true Montrealer, l go into the store to pay before pumping. After waiting 10 minutes in line, l get to the cash to learn we had to pump first, and then pay. So l go pump. Once this is done, l go back into the store and had to wait another 15 minutes before reaching the cash register. Now l was mixed with people paying groceries, which is why it took so long. Once l arrived at the cash, l hear one of the girls scream that if you only have gas, you can go to another cash to pay quicker. If l knew that before... All of this would gave been avoided with CLEAR INSTRUCTIONS!!! Very frustrating stop. Lost 30 minutes of my time. Covid restrictions: Social distancing in store not respected. No cleaning of cash area after usage. Plexiglasses are up. Cleaning area at entrance. Masks not obligatory.

One of the places I try to drop in on the way home from Rimouski when open. You can see the three…read morebuildings pop up from the highway as you are nearing. They have a wonderful selection of smoked, marinated (in jar), frozen and of course fresh seafood! You can buy smoked herring, fillets of perch or mackerel, shrimps, trout, herring roe, eel, sturgeon, salmon... Or marinated products such as turbot, whelks, mussels... Other products available include dried cod, fresh fish, shellfish and seafood, home made products, salted herbs and capers. Seriously a seafood lover's dream! On my visit I ended up purchasing a nice huge piece of fresh Atlantic Halibut, a nice container of fresh Matane shrimp and a sugar pie. Prices are very reasonable for the area and seafood is freshly brought out of the water!

Wonderful stop! Service was very welcoming (thank you Nathalie) and they served some great home…read morecooked style food. Cute diner set up. Would definitely stop again :)

The fromagerie was a disappointment…read more Number one, don't think you are walking into a traditional cheese shop in France or even Québec City. You are not. The place is big but the selections not so much. It is designed like what it is, a tourist venue. That said, this is a highly popular place for the locals to meet and greet and catch the contagion-of-excitement in a line up to buy the local specialty, Basque cheese curds (like strings) in a sealed bag of various sizes. For me, the cheese was inedible. It is loaded with salt and you cannot taste the fresh natural cheese because it is LOADED with way too much salt. Additionally, if you are an additive conscious individual and try to avoid unnecessary non-natural ingredients then you'll not be pleased to find "calcium chloride" added here also. We tried other cheeses offered for sale, bries. They were OK, not theirs, nothing special - but I noticed calcium chloride present also. Commercially available Brie in supermarches or supermarkets either in France or the U.S. do not have these needless additions normally. Again, for me, the salt issue in their specialty of the house cheese made it inedible for me and I feel this is more about the hype, the "sizzle", and not about quality substance. I cannot recommend personally at all.

I'm the cheese eater in my family and we researched this place diligently before vacationing in…read moreGaspé early this June, 2025. First off it is an incredibly popular place, a meeting place, where locals get on a buying 'Conga Line' to snatch the next cheese offerings being replenished energetically by staff. The most talked about was the bags of Basque "cheese curds" a varietal specialty - so I bought plenty of plain and one bag mixed with garlic and green herbs (note this bag was the better choice actuall). The unfortunate thing here is they use the unnecessary additives of "Calcium Chloride" salts (clearly marked on their plastic label) and may also use "Titanium Dioxide" to give it the (super) white color (this latter point I cannot vouchsafe for as a French Label of ingredients and price per Kg was superimposed on the sealed bag but I thought I saw it). In any event given the unbelievable amount they sell additives of any type are simply not necessary at all! Now, about the salt! The cheese strings (curds) are absolutely LOADED with it! Like a hot dog drenched in saline solution! Hey, I like salt too, but there is SO much of it you aren't eating cheese but like a bag of potato chips you aren't eating potatoes either, but salted fried chips more often than not. Same applies here. The natural aspect of farmers cheese is lost in a salt drench. We also bought some brie there not theirs, it was OK no complaints. Except once again't "Calcium Chloride" was added. I mean you can buy "President's" Brie or "ile de France" and have none of this in a local supermarket- here or in France! This place is all "hat no cattle" for this transplanted Texan - and as a cheese lover absolutely not worth you time or your Canadian or American dollars.
