Fresh out of the oven!
The brand new microbrewery offers beers brewed on-site in a state-of-the-art brewhouse, as well as dishes inspired by local producers, featuring a chalkboard menu. All this in a cozy spot located between the station and the Mont-Sainte-Anne cross-country ski center, where life is good and sharing is the spirit of the place!
La Grange – Brasserie italienne
Risotto, osso bucco, Neapolitan style pizza, pasta… La Grange serves up Italian culinary delights! With its four-season conservatory, pizza oven, brick walls, and exposed beams, this new spot in Beaupré invites you for a culinary discovery with family and friends, complemented by a festive cocktail.
By stepping into the Auberge & Campagne, you will also find Bar Chez Pat: the perfect spot to meet locals, share skiing or outdoor stories, and who knows, perhaps also find some hidden treasures… Of course, it’s also the place to enjoy a glass of wine, a local beer, or an espresso in good company, in slippers or ski suits!
Just one year ago, five young entrepreneurs took over the Microbrasserie Beaux Prés and, in the process, refreshed the décor and modernized the production equipment. Located on the banks of the Saint Lawrence River, the microbrewery offers a selection of 16 craft beers on tap as well as a pub-style menu with dishes made from meats smoked on-site. The relaxed atmosphere is perfect for enjoying a pleasant après-ski with family or friends, while discovering local beers.”
