Restaurant of a Grand Chef Relais & Châteaux in town (Québec) Yvan Lebrun’s motto is “simplicity and precision”. And it seems to have worked for this Grand Chef, originally from the little fishing village of Cancale in Brittany. Together with his partner Rolande, he has created one of the best restaurants in North America. His love of food and the pure delight of his guests, spurs him on to combine the very best of French and Quebecois culinary tradition. The gifts of the sea and the land, the noble and the rustic all combine to create exploding and harmonious flavours. Here, hearts of palm are made into flour, dandelion honey becomes a smooth ice cream, maple syrup appears regularly and, of course, oysters have a starring role.
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.
