  1. A Michelin-starred country inn on the shores of Lake Bellemare, deep in the forest near La Mauricie National Park. Chef Samy Benabed plates creative Quebec cuisine that leans on fermentation, smoke, and preservation techniques with a Scandinavian undertow, all grounded in local ingredients.

    The record strongest first

    One number, weighted & current 92
