Summer’s top 10 foodie faves

A summertime feast for the senses

Summer’s the perfect excuse to take your taste buds on a journey of discovery! This top 10 list is a great place to start.

1. In Montréal, Terrasse William Gray, pairs refined dishes and seasonal menus with breathtaking views of the Old Port, La Grande Roue de Montréal, and the Saint Lawrence River.
2. Located in beautiful Mont-Tremblant, sEb L’Artisan Culinaire is sure to delight all your senses. It earned a MICHELIN Bib Gourmand distinction in 2025 and serves creative dishes made with local and seasonal products inspired by the chef’s extensive travels.
3. In the nearby Mauricie region, the Auberge Saint-Mathieu (French only) boasts a Green Star from the MICHELIN Guide, and it’s easy to see why. Top-quality gastronomy dovetails nicely with sustainable practices, all set in an enchanting setting.
4. On to the Eastern Townships for another great eatery in a pastoral setting: Les Cocagnes (French only), offering a country-style table with a five-course meal made using locally grown and raised products, as well as a rotating cast of outstanding guest chefs.
5. Not far from there, La Ferme Brasserie Rurale (French only), offers a welcoming terrasse where locals and visitors gather to sip house-brewed beer, enjoy food-truck fare and take in views of the surrounding grain fields used to produce the beer served on site. Perfect for a daytime stop.
6. Every great dish has a good story, and poutine is no exception. In Centre-du-Québec, crispy fries, squeaky cheese curds, and gravy come with a side of friendly rivalry, as Drummondville and Victoriaville both claim to be the birthplace of Québec’s most famous comfort food.
7. Over in the Outaouais, Soif Bar à Vin wows with its stellar wines, thoughtfully selected to pair with the unpretentious food on its seasonal menu. Most servers are trained sommeliers, ready to guide every pour.
8. Faux Bergers (French only), in Charlevoix, is an ode to the terroir, with a seven-course set menu that changes with the season, the day’s harvest, and the rhythms of nature.
9. Nestled in historic Old Québec, you’ll find Tanière³, the province’s only restaurant to have earned two MICHELIN stars. Treat yourself to a memorable gourmet experience that celebrates the seasons, Québec’s terroir and its culinary universe.
10. And another MICHELIN-starred restaurant is located in Rimouski, Narval (French only), whose elegant, mouth-watering offerings shine a spotlight on wild products and the terroir of eastern Québec. Plus, it’s bring-your-own-wine!

Take it from me, these acclaimed restaurants throughout the province surprise and delight. From sweet to savoury, a world of flavour awaits!
