Chaudière-Appalaches

A stone's throw from the river and marina, this is a gourmet address not to be missed. Don't look for a storefront, but rather an outdoor venue with a festive flair. The menu is all barbecue, from ribs to smoked beef brisket burgers, poutine and pulled pork tacos. And since you're in danger of developing an addiction, you should know that THÉO BBQ also has a boutique in Berthier-sur-Mer (spices, sauces, meats, prepared foods...), which also features a number of in-house products.

Inspired by the Lobster Shacks of the American East Coast, this resto, cantine and snack bar is a must for seafood lovers. Fresh lobster, guédilles, clam chowder, lobster poutine and other delights are all on the menu, along with a selection of burgers, grills, pastas and more. All set in the distinctive décor of an old octagonal barn with a contemporary touch (we particularly like the lobster traps transformed into tables). Also on site: café-bar on the first floor.

Le Vire-Crêpes is well known for its blueberry fields where you can pick your own in season. It's also a shop where you can stock up on this small fruit of the fields, either natural or in processed products. But above all, it's a gourmet address to enjoy a brunch where blueberries are the star even in smoothies. In summer, a food-truck sets up shop on the site and offers blueberry and maple salad with grilled chicken, Angus beef burgers and other delights.
