Hotel and restaurant on a big river (La Malbaie) Classified as a biosphere reserve by Unesco, the region of Charlevoix is one of the best-preserved places on the planet. It is also one of the largest inhabited craters in the world: the impact left by a meteorite 350 million years ago has given this part of Quebec a unique landscape. In this stunning location, in the heart of the biosphere reserve, on the banks of the majestic Saint-Laurent River, you can see spouting whales. The Authier family has created a beautiful, restful little hotel with opulent interiors, an excellent wine cellar and delicious authentic food including homemade pastries and fish smoked on-site.
Auberge Saint-Antoine
Hotel and restaurant in town (Québec) Like Charles Dickens, you will be fascinated by the city of Québec, this “Gibraltar of America” with “its giddy heights, its citadel suspended, as if it were in the air, its picturesque steep streets”. The Auberge Saint-Antoine, nestled in the heart of the first city to be founded in North America, stands on a unique archaeological site. Many relics from the French and English colonial times were discovered when the Auberge was built. Now they can be found amongst the elegant designer interior of this historical location, with its irresistible charm and gourmet cuisine.

Manoir Hovey
Hotel and restaurant in the country (North Hatley) A stay at Manoir Hovey comes with the promise of an abundance of fresh air in a scenic, unspoilt part of Quebec, close to the U.S. This charming manor was built at the turn-of-the-century and modelled on George Washington’s Mount Vernon home. It is nestled in English gardens in a forest on the shores of a lake, and there is a romantic and authentic way of life here. Rates include an array of on-site recreational facilities that make Manoir Hovey a destination in itself. The artful cuisine is enhanced by the wine list, which features 900 wines, and an exceptional selection of Quebec’s finest cheeses. A wonderful getaway in all seasons, and only 80 minutes from Montreal.
