Side Trips from Montreal Restaurants

Although you're not likely to find much in the way of quality ethnic dishes, the major towns in the region serve a variety of cuisines at a range of prices, with French and regional specialties dominating the higher end of the price scale. The Eastern Townships are particularly strong on regional cuisine using local artisanal ingredients.

  • 1. Edgar

    $$$

    Wonderful homemade pastries such as pear-and-almond tarts, lemon-curd doughnuts, and chai scones have brought renown to this little place (only 11 seats), but there's more to it than that. Breakfast and lunch are always busy, and weekend brunch, served until 2 pm, brings a line out the door. Favorite dishes include the Dutch baby pancake topped with aged cheddar, pork belly, and maple syrup, and potatoes in brown butter. For lunch, try the paninis, soups, and salads. Note that Edgar may close for a week or more in summer.

  • 2. Auguste

    $$$$

    Auguste placed Sherbrooke on the foodie map when it opened in 2008, and it continues to impress. Local ingredients take pride of place in this minimalist bistro-style restaurant, which features dishes like mushroom risotto or sweet potato ravioli. An absolute must is the pouding chômeur (poor man's pudding), a classic French Canadian dessert in which maple syrup or caramel is poured over cake and served warm. The short—but guaranteed to please—children's menu is free Sunday to Wednesday from 5 to 7 pm.
