If you happen to be passing through Knowlton, Quebec, and you’re in need of refreshment, I would highly recommend stopping at this charming little cafe, Brie & Cie (291-C chemin Knowlton Road). They have a great selection of cheeses, deserts, and other foods that you can take to go, or you can eat there. Really lovely and very tasty.

One day we took a long drive and came across a place called L’Oeuf (229 chemin Mystic, Mystic, QC). Well, I should say that I read about it in an article, and we went in search of it while taking a long drive through the country. It wasn’t easy to find, as I remember, but well worth it if you’re in that neck of the woods. We only had time for a little ice cream, but it was such a quaint shop and restaurant that I wish we’d had more time to visit again. The ice cream was fantastic.

Only a couple of recommendations here…if you can afford a swanky place to stay, Hotel Dominion 1912 is well worth it, and it includes breakfast. We ate at Panache, which was AWESOME. It was top notch and we paid for it, but it was well worth it–anniversary dinner. L’Echaude is also supposed to be very good–a good option for lunch or dinner for bistro/French/Quebec fare. We ate at a creperie called Casse-Crepe Breton on the main drag in Old Quebec, and it was really good. Service is a bit lacking, but the crepes are supposedly the best in town.
