I love this place :). I've been coming here almost yearly for nigh unto 20 years already. There's a…read morereason folks praise blueberries from Lac St Jean and a basket of these goodies will make you wish you had picked a lot more :). Every time we go, we fill up a good 8-10 baskets and the only time they last more than a month is when we decide to freeze them for winter cooking :) With 14km of fields, there are plenty to pick throughout the season so if you go once or even more than once you will always have a solid choice :). Costs in 2020 were $2.50 a pound or around $13 a basket. Pack a lunch and spend a few hours enjoying the fields because time really does fly in the peaceful moment of blueberry picking :)

Let me start by saying I'm not a connoisseur of fine chocolates, but I like what I like! And I have…read moreto say that the chocolates made here are really great. Not only is there a very decent selection, each one has a unique taste that you need to savour and hold back from gobbling up :) They do sell chocolate in bulk as well, should you be in the mood to just snack, but their artisan chocolates are wonderful. Even beyond the cute factor of their "Marie Souris" they have that great idea of their "Cassolette" where you can actually open the pot if you so desire! Lol! For a little shop, they have a lot to offer beyond their chocolates like hand crafted pasta, jams and oils from the region, as well as some frozen treats I have not yet had the pleasure of tasting. Plus, should you want to, you can take a break and enjoy a coffee with your chocolates :) I will be coming back here much more often :)

Make sure you stop in if you find this place while on the Veloroutes. The chocolates are so good…read moreand they have coffee and ice cream as well. Great place!

Stopped here on the way to the Saguenay Fjords National Park. Very good food, especially for bar…read morefood. These people take their food prep seriously. Note to Anglophones ~ they don't speak English here. Hey, that's ok, it's their country, but keep that in mind going in. I've found that once you get out of Montreal and Quebec City, most people speak French only. I was fortunate that my wife speaks some French. We ordered the mac n cheese, duck poutine, sausage platter, and Caesar salad. The mac n cheese was quite good. The sausage platter was very tasty, but petite for the price in my opinion. The duck poutine had an awesome flavor, but the fries were a little overdone. The Caesar salad had a very mild flavor, perhaps too mild, but I like my Caesar salad to be strong. It might just be my taste. I also tried one of their in house beers. I'd definitely recommend trying one if you visit. Overall, the food here is tres bien. Bar food in the US usually consists of fried everything, so this was a nice contrast. If you're in Saguenay, it is certainly worth a stop.

Food and drinks were amazing, staff was very friendly and we got by speaking English just fine.read more

Fromagerie Perron is a place many of my Québécois friends mention is famous for cheese in the the…read moreSaguenay-Lac St Jean Region. So I had to check it out! For those that are unaware(or who live life as a caveman), Quebec really does have some excellent fromageries! The Quebec french culture dates back over 400 years to ancestry from France and the art of cheese making has carried on and flourished in many areas of the province throughout the years! It was a nice surprise to see they even have a newly constructed dining room attached to the cheese shop where you can catch lunch. The highlight of the dining room was a poutine bar where you could slather as much cheese, different kinds of meat, peppers, onions and of course three kinds of sauce all over some fries! One visit to the poutine bar was $12 while all you can eat was $16. For me, a visit to the poutine bar would have put me straight to a deep coma sleep so I decided just to have a burger with small poutine and salad. Burger and serving was awesome! It tasted as it was a pork burger but had a nice touch to it. The salad was fresh with crunchy lettuce and a nice dressing. Poutine size was small but just enough to give you a taste and enjoy serving. The cheese shop had many jams and sauces all regional. I ended up buying some blueberry products (jams, syrups and of course a nice bag of cheese curds. The curds had a nice squeak to them but different from other cheese shops. Not as creamy as other places but nice and lighter tasting. I would definitely chalk this up as a must visit if in the area either for some easy souvenirs, to experience some of their awesome cheeses or to have a nice lunch. Or test some great poutine or other delicious items on the menu. Really I don't think you will be disappointed. I sure wasn't!

Decent supermarket that is just like any other you'll see in the States. With one big exception -…read morethe beer prices are CRAZY! $15 for a six pack? $23 for a CASE of Bud Light. Not that I drink that crap, but wow that's an insane price. Meat department, coolers of dairy and sliced meats, produce, groceries and all of that stuff. Prices are a little higher than I'm used to from the US, but I think this is simply how much stuff costs in this neck of the woods. French-speaking clerks, but you can probably get by as long as it's not something complicated.
