Spring on the Côte-de-Beaupré begins with exciting news for food lovers. Coquette has recently earned a place in the Michelin Guide with a coveted Bib Gourmand designation, recognizing both the quality of its cuisine and its excellent value.
Congratulations to Chef Alexanne Grenier and her entire team on this outstanding achievement!
This recognition is a tremendous source of pride for the region and a perfect invitation to discover the local flavours of the Côte-de-Beaupré. Beyond this celebrated restaurant, the region is home to local products, passionate artisans and delicious culinary stops that are well worth exploring, even during the quieter shoulder season.
Here are a few ways to savour spring on the Côte-de-Beaupré.
Spring is the perfect season to take your time and discover the Côte-de-Beaupré Circuit Gourmand.
This culinary route showcases the region’s artisans, producers and food makers, all dedicated to creating high-quality local products. Along the way, you’ll find a wide variety of specialties available year-round, including pies, meat pies, rillettes, kombucha, local wines and much more.
Spring is also an excellent time to meet the people behind these products, as many are not yet immersed in their busiest harvest season.
We can never say it enough: the Côte-de-Beaupré’s culinary scene is well worth exploring.
In addition to Coquette and its Michelin Guide recognition, several restaurants celebrate local ingredients and regional flavours.
Notable favourites include Bistro Nordik, La Grange Italian Brasserie and Auberge Baker, all of which contribute to the region’s vibrant food culture.
A special event will also take place at Auberge & Campagne on June 13, featuring Chef Alexanne Grenier. Guests will enjoy a six-course dinner showcasing ingredients sourced from the Côte-de-Beaupré. This exclusive one-night experience can be booked at www.aubergeetcampagne.com.
When spring temperatures remain cool, a gourmet break becomes even more enjoyable.
Places like Les Trois Becs, Pain des Pistes and Café Apollo are perfect stops between activities.
You’ll find specialty coffee, fresh pastries, homemade sandwiches and a variety of ready-to-eat options that can be enjoyed on-site or taken away for later.
Fewer crowds, more personal connections and a slower pace make spring an ideal time to discover the Côte-de-Beaupré’s local products in a different way.
It’s an invitation to explore, taste and experience the region from a fresh perspective.
Enjoy your visit!
