From the farm to the plate, the Townships’ gourmet artisans are constantly innovating. Here are five examples that will have you want to discover for yourself what they’re up to!
You may have discovered him on Les Chefs! 2014, grand prize winner and chef Hakim Chajar has established himself in the new Restaurant Ôma at Vignoble du Ruisseau! Now’s the perfect opportunity to sample his fresh and innovative cuisine around a country-style table.
For an intimate dining experience, invite yourself to François Lessard’s table d’hôte at Huit5quatre. This globetrotting chef has returned to the Eastern Townships, to everyone’s delight as well as that of your taste buds. A memorable evening guaranteed!
Combine sports and gastronomy by discovering the Road Trip Gourmand Signé Chef Oli in the Haute-Yamaska! Follow the Campagnarde bike path and make two stops along the way - one at the microbrewery La Ferme and the other at Pâtisserie Gâteaux Duvoquic - before finishing with a gourmet box at La Terre Bowker. Olivier (Chef Oli) Loussaint’s stronghold in the Townships!
End your day in the relaxed atmosphere of Hôtel Château-Bromont’s new bistro bar, Le Beagle Club. Whether you come to sample its menu of simple, refined dishes or to refresh yourself with its extensive drinks menu, you’ll always have a good time here.
Launched in 2017 in Montréal, the Matera Brasseurs brewery has just opened its doors in Dunham. With its thirst-quenching beers and breathtaking views of the surrounding area, it has just been added to the list of top brewery stops on the Eastern Townships’ famous Route des Vins de Brome-Missisquoi.
In Sherbrooke, the Halte des Crinqués is certainly the latest urban meeting hub to discover! A Viking decor, good beer (brewed on site) and a passion for sports - that’s what you’ll find at this microbrewery founded by two friends.
A well-known address in Sutton, the microbrewery À l’Abordage has opened a second branch in Bromont. Families and outdoor enthusiasts come here to enjoy a well-deserved pause after having explored the many hiking and cycling trails in the area.
On June 15, don’t miss the grand opening of the Pub Champêtre at the Équinoxe cider farm in Farnham. From its magnificent terrace in the heart of nature, enjoy a friendly meal made with ingredients from the domain’s farm. Quite a treat in store for your summer evenings!
As you discovered last year, the restaurant Les Mal-Aimés in Cookshire-Eaton’s Coeur Villageois is now inviting you to enjoy one of its delicious picnic baskets (on site or elsewhere). Fresh, local and delicious, what more could you ask for?
Every Sunday morning from July 7 to October 6, head to the Bromont Farmers’ Market to fill up on the flavours of the terroir. Celebrate the many local producers who’ll be on hand to offer you the fruits of their labour, and enjoy the lively ambiance!
Newly launched in the region, La Vallée du Moulin in Melbourne lovingly produces fresh organic figs. Whether for its enchanting setting or its gourmet boutique, a visit to the site and its installations is well worth the trip! This year, new interpretation panels will tell you all about the history of the site.
If you were already finding it hard to drive through Compton without stopping at the La Station cheese dairy, it’s going to be simply impossible now that their new cheese, Le Chemin du Brûlé, has been added to the boutique selections!
As well as being talented wine producers, the Val Caudalies winemakers certainly don’t lack in creativity. A new melon-flavoured white wine has just been added to the list of unique nectars produced in the Townships. Let’s toast to this great friendship between two of the region’s producers!
On Shefford Street, in the heart of Vieux-Bromont, N Latte has opened in the former Gaïa restaurant. Comfortably seated on one of its two floors, savour one of its specialty coffees, accompanied by a snack (sweet or salty) with vegan and gluten-free options.
The second location of Dora, Boulangerie Artisanale in Orford is also offering a new proposition by becoming the Café des Cantons. Come and enjoy a hearty grilled cheese sandwich with three cheeses and bacon, or take home one of their sugar shack dishes!
