Rank 1. Les Mal-Aimés
Creative
A market gardener and a former Sherbrooke chef have built this rural farm into a kitchen that moves the seasons onto your plate with raw tuna, stewed peaches, and fermented peppers in careful balance. The wood-lined dining room and cider on the patio set a mood of unhurried authenticity that frames the meal without pretense.
-
Rank 2. Le Hatley
Modern Cuisine
On a lakeside estate, Chef Alexandre Vachon works with Québec ingredients in precise, architecturally composed dishes—scallops with sea urchin, Sterling beef paired with onion condiment—that honor classical technique while pursuing bold combinations. The dining room overlooks Lake Massawippi; the wine list is thoughtfully curated; the service unfolds without fuss.

Wine Bar
A narrow room with counter seating overlooking a tight kitchen, where Chef Isabelle Charest works with local, seasonal vegetables and sources natural wines from Québec and the Nordic regions. The cooking is intuitive and spare, letting produce speak for itself; wine pairings anchor each plate with precision rather than ceremony.
-
Rank 4. Parcelles
Vegetarian
Chef Dominic Labelle's farmhouse restaurant pivots daily around vegetables and proteins grown on his own land near Magog. Duck with Romanesco and pastured eggs illustrate a kitchen that works close to the harvest, with natural wines to match.
