Gourmet dishes from Le Théophile restaurant

Jeff Frenette

Ophélie's choice Le Théophile Lévis

Three words: tapas, cocktails, and a terraces. All in a charming little restaurant tucked away in an unexpected neighborhood of Lévis. The menu changes with the seasons, so don’t waste any time!

I GO THERE FOR

We celebrate the anniversary of when we first met every summer. Sitting on the charming terrace, we sample EVERYTHING we can in a really cozy atmosphere, surrounded by green plants. Among my absolute favorites: the house-made crispy chicken, the duck dish, and the raspberry sorbet. I can’t wait for the next summer menu!

Sara's choice Restaurant 1668  Saint-Georges

An intimate atmosphere, local products, and a mention in the Michelin Guide Quebec: do you need anything else to be convinced? Ariel and his team work hard to ensure that every detail is thoughtfully considered.

I GO THERE FOR

The 7-course tasting menu, which changes with the seasons. My partner was skeptical the first time, but now he’s the one who always wants to go back! The wine pairings are also a must for a memorable evening!

Louis's choice Auberge des Glacis L'Islet

This charming gourmet inn, housed in a former manor mill, is the perfect spot for a romantic getaway.

I GO THERE FOR

For the four-course evening menu that surprises and delights me every time I visit! What few people know is that you can reserve a table there even if you’re not staying at the inn. The menu, which features more than 70 local ingredients, changes depending on availability, but the quality is always the same.

Odile's choice M - L'Artisan culinaire Thetford Mines

Behind this century-old house is a restaurant that honours gastronomy in all its finesse. Each dish pays homage to the terroir, combining French tradition with home-grown inspiration.

WE GO FOR

The signature dish that flirts with perfection: melt-in-your-mouth bison cheek, creamy forest risotto and finger-licking port and cocoa sauce.

Amélie's choice Cuisine du Marché Lévis

This unassuming bistro offers a sensory experience centered around fire, meat, and local ingredients. Quebec wagyu reigns supreme here, showcased without any frills but with a level of expertise that makes all the difference. With only a few seats available, plan your visit in advance—it’s well worth it!

I GO THERE FOR

The creativity and attention to detail in the dishes. I suggest you order the Wagyu pulled beef nacho bucket to share. And if you order a meat dish as your main course—which I highly recommend—trust me, the Yukon Gold potato mash with Gouda as a side dish is absolutely amazing!

Stéphanie's choice Les 5 Moulins La Guadeloupe

If you’re looking for a place to impress a foodie or treat someone who’s crazy about local cuisine, this is the perfect spot.

I GO THERE FOR

Discover the region’s local flavors and boreal tastes, so skillfully incorporated by Chef Véronique. Haute cuisine, served without pretension!
