This excellent, friendly bakery is located in the village of St-Jean's historic rectory, across the street from the church and a promenade along the river. In addition to delicious fresh croissants, pastries, and breads, La Midinette also offers pizzas and other light lunches that you can enjoy on the large covered porch in the summer.
This is one of the most interesting microbreweries in the Québec City region, producing a colorful range of beers named after historical characters from Île d'Orléans. You can taste them all at the adjoining Pub Le Mitan, along with standard pub fare including burgers, pizzas, and fries. The pub's terrace is particularly pleasant, and there's a beautiful view toward the St. Lawrence River. It's a great place to take a break from a tour of the island.
