Bakery?: Le Massif de Charlevoix
Address: Quebec City-La Malbaie
Style: Canadian, Quebecois, French
Price: $$$
As a major part of my summer journey to the Charlevoix region, I took the train from Quebec City to La Malbaie. This trip not only entailed a breathtaking glimpse of the surrounding nature, including many sightseeing stops along the way, but included a delicious, unending sampling of food, highlighting local talent and ingredients such as Charlevoix veal and fresh produce, which was included in the price of the $275 ticket (the journey is to La Malbaie and then back). Following each meal, there was also opportunity to taste some delectable, bite-size desserts with coffee or tea (along with a digestif afterwards), including -- though certainly not limited to -- locally picked berries in cream or dark chocolate macarons, always with unique and colourful arrangements. Everything I had the chance to try was always very, very good and of the highest quality; in fact, I constantly had the impression that I was dining at a five-star restaurant. I would definitely recommend Le Massif de Charlevoix, the train (as there is likewise the ski resort), not only for the scenery, but for the food as well as the dessert. This was indeed worthy of a four-star experience.
