The Best Places to Eat Near Losange Restaurant, by the Record

The long counter facing the semi-open kitchen tells you exactly what kind of place this is: a regional bistro in Rimouski where the cooking leans into Quebec's larder with real intention. The food looks simple on the plate, which is part of the trick. The tarte à la farlouche alone, molasses and raisins in a traditional Quebec pie, makes a strong argument for pacing yourself through dinner. The cocktail list is worth your attention too. Michelin gives it a Bib Gourmand.

1. Michelin Guide Bib Gourmand

Across from St. Germain Cathedral and a short walk from the St. Lawrence, this intimate creative restaurant holds a Michelin star and a bring-your-own-wine policy, which together make for a very good evening. The open kitchen keeps things warm rather than formal, and the menu reads like a travel diary, pulling in techniques and references from Madeira to the Canary Islands while leaning on local Quebec producers for the raw material.

A Rimouski restaurant where poutine shares the menu with Korean-glazed chicken and halibut accras, the local catch standing in for the traditional cod. The kitchen swings confidently between Québécois comfort and a looser, globe-trotting curiosity, and the Nagano pork tomahawk, a breed raised right here in the province, arrives paired with shiitake and root vegetables. A Michelin Selected restaurant that earns the nod by staying grounded in the region while refusing to stay put.
