(Re)discover my little village, thanks to an epicurean trail!

I’ve been living in Saint-Antoine-de-Tilly for some time now, and I can tell you that this village is full of passionate, proud and innovative people. Thanks to the Parcours épicuriens CELEB’, a brand new gourmet itinerary, I had the pleasure (or rather, the honor!) of rediscovering my village’s merchants and artisans. Here are the 7 places that captured my heart on a beautiful summer afternoon!

In the warm sunshine and gentle river breezes, we began our journey at Du côté de chez Swann creperie. Nothing like a good microbrewery beer and delectable Breton crêpes (wheat or buckwheat) to whet our appetites! Orchestrated by passionate owners, the crêperie has been an integral part of the village since 2003, with the aim of introducing us to the taste and art of real Breton crêpes. A successful meal!

Then it’s off to Ma Maison Rose for a little shopping spree, strawberry-lemon lemonade and cupcakes in hand! What could be happier? Élizabeth opens the doors of her coquettish home to offer you an array of deco/lifestyle finds in a relaxed, enveloping atmosphere. As soon as I arrived in Saint-Antoine-de-Tilly, I fell in love with this charming little boutique, and you’ll quickly understand why!

We continue our stroll through the village towards La Cabane du Boucher. Here we have the pleasure of sampling the various charcuteries offered by Alexandre, chef-owner-boucher-charcutier-bon-vivant! In addition to delicious charcuterie, this dynamic little business offers you the chance to enjoy one of the best “snack” menus on earth (I’m exaggerating). Try it, you’ll love it!

Come on! We cross Route 132 to get to Fromagerie Bergeron. We’re greeted by Raphaël Bergeron, the charming co-owner who represents the company’s 4th generation. He tells us about the history of this local family business, which stands out as the Canadian master of gouda cheese. And there’s nothing better than a tasting of fresh gouda grains to confirm it! Did you know? You can buy our products directly from the Boutique. There’s also a delicious dairy bar attached to the Boutique, to the delight of young and old alike!

Then it’s on to the next shop. It only takes one visit to fall under the spell of Lucie and Denis, owners of Ferme La Rosée du Matin! In addition to pick-your-own berries and pumpkins, you can purchase fresh fruits and vegetables in season. You’ll also have the chance to discover their processed products, made with an eye to avoiding food waste: sorbets and gelato in a variety of flavors, pies, croustades, freshly squeezed juices and more! A gourmet stop not to be missed!

We end our epicurean journey in style at Brad & Jack resto-pub with a beer and tartar tasting. The charming owner, Mélissa, explains the story behind the creation of this charming pub, which offers a diversified menu, electrifying musical performances and a festive atmosphere. Whether on the terrace, at the bar or in the dining room, we promise you’ll have a great time!
