The Best Places to Eat Near Les Mal-Aimés, by the Record

A working farm in the Eastern Townships that doubles as a restaurant, where dinner starts with cider on a covered patio around an open fire before you move inside to a wood-lined room with a vintage feel. The set menu pulls from the farm's own gardens and local producers, something like eighty fruits, vegetables, and herbs showing up across the courses. A quiet drive out, but the kind of meal that earns the silence.

The dining room of this fine dining restaurant looks out over Lake Massawippi, which does a lot of work before anyone has touched a fork. The chef builds modern tasting menus on classic technique, leaning into Quebec terroir with the kind of quiet confidence that doesn't need to announce itself. A vegetarian menu runs alongside the main, and the digital wine list is deep. AAA Five Diamonds.

Snowshoes, a canoe, and a rifle on the walls set the tone at this rustic bistro inside Manoir Hovey, where the decor reads less "hunting lodge theme" and more genuinely accumulated. The kitchen leans into traditional Quebec cooking with enough twists to stay interesting, turning out bison tartare and seared scallops with cauliflower and gingerbread crumble. Casual enough for après-ski, serious enough that the food holds the room on its own.
