Well known by cyclists for the three bike paths that come together at an old railway junction dating back to the golden age of its Anglo-Saxon past, and neighbouring Granby, Shefford and Bromont, the town of Warterloo, bordered by a lake and surrounded by plenty of green spaces, offers a wide range of activities. But beyond these assets, the town exudes a freshness that makes it a great place to live, have fun, learn, feast and to stock up on local flavours. I’ll be taking you on a journey of discovery featuring a few great new addresses gathered during my three-day visit.

Local Flavours
During these three days, I sampled a host of delicious treats, because Waterloo offers some very attractive addresses.
Good addresses
Among the delicious establishments in Waterloo you’ll enjoy these as well:
La Bouchère: a boutique based on Foster Street with an online outlet. Mélanie, a passionate butcher, offers fresh or marinated meats, prepared meals, fine local products and Everything’s-in-the-bag meal and theme bags ready to simmer or to eat. A well-designed concept to end a busy day!
The Marché Foster in Waterloo is more than a grocery store; in addition to finding great local products, it offers a fine selection of beverages, beers and wines from the region and from all over Québec.
Gâteaux Duvoquic, an address for your sweet tooth: from traditional cakes to cupcakes, their pastries have been the talk of the town since they opened in 2017.
Enjoy your visit!
I then took this opportunity to do some paddling and explore the 1.5 sq km lake, where you can see the rowers of the Club d’aviron Waterloo gliding along in their elegant boats. The lake’s shores, with its children’s playground, picnic tables and two docks for launching your own boat (paddleboard or kayak) attracts paddlers, walkers and cyclists. You can also just sit on a bench and enjoy the view!
A little further down Foster Street, designer Mélanie Bonneville presents her clothing line at the Dames de pique boutique, featuring comfortable, eco-friendly and stylish pieces for all sizes. The same venue is also where Kim’Allume has recently set up shop. The boutique offers soy wax candles and mood-setting products, handcrafted by Kim Dulude, that enhance a room with delightful scents such as dragon fruit, pink grapefruit, caramel coffee, lavender and mimosa. There are even candles with fragrances specifically chosen for each astrological sign!
