Café de la Brûlerie - Granby

Just steps away from the cycling path, you’ll find the Café and its vast terrace overlooking the North-Yamaska river. The specialties? Of course there’s the Arabica, roasted right here, but there’s also the sangria to accompany our warm summer days, burgers and decadent cakes as well as a great atmosphere.


The Tire-Bouchon - Dunham

A vineyard outing at one of the pioneer wine-making establishments of the Townships: L’Orpailleur. With its lovely shaded terrace overlooking the vines, the domain restaurant proposes dishes to pique the curiosity of its guests such as its wild cod loin with Orpailleur white wine sauce, a grape variety that has adapted well to the region’s micro-climate, and the three-chocolate tuxedo cake. YUM!
