The best restaurants Duplessis

Under new owners since 2021 and housed in a beautiful old-fashioned house in the heart of the village, this café-bistro is a true Tadoussac institution. Our suggestions: croque-matin or crepe with mushrooms and brie cheese in the morning; Nordic shrimp baguette or vegan poutine at lunchtime; roasted Arctic char fillet, seafood risotto or vegan gnocchi in the evening. Top it all off with one of our homemade desserts (try the Affogato or pastries), accompanied by an organic, fair-trade coffee.

Mireille and Jean-Sébastien's little restaurant is considered one of the best in Tadoussac, if not in the region. Local products are very popular, especially those from the North Shore, and everything is prepared with precision and creativity. The team works with many producers to supply themselves with northern fruits, wild mushrooms, sea or land products, etc. A beautiful gourmet address, sometimes accompanied by musicians. To discover: the book Le Festin de Mathilde dedicated to the North Shore, its magic and its products.

An excellent address where regional products take pride of place. Located just a few steps from the "sea", and with additional space on the^2nd floor, it's the ideal place to enjoy platters of cheese, charcuterie, smoked fish and side dishes, which you assemble yourself. It also serves as a gourmet grocery store, offering cheeses, sausages, baguettes, coffees, wines and more. When it comes to hops, you'll find nothing but "home-grown" products. Fine Quebec spirits, wines and cocktails are also on the menu.

A well-known address, as it is one of the few establishments open all year round. The motel restaurant prepares a good family cuisine with seafood specialities (try the fisherman's plate), pasta, grills, pizzas and tutti quanti. In addition to the à la carte dishes, a daily menu is offered for lunch and a table d'hôte in the evening. For those who wake up late, no problem, breakfast brunch is available all day long!

Restaurant specializing in grilled meats and seafood flavored with Terroir Boréal. The salmon and duck breast smoked on site are succulent, not to mention the delicious fresh pasta and homemade sauces. We recommend the friendly plate of homemade products with, among others, smoked and dried salmon, maple smoked salmon, marinated and smoked duck breast, foie gras mousse with boreal flavours, marinated turbot, onion confit and regional cheeses. The smoked products and those of the house brand (Terroir Boréal) are sold on site.

This restaurant is by far our best gourmet address in the area. On the menu, bistro-style cuisine with a Québécois and maritime accent: seafood chowder, beef cheek poutine, honey pecan-crusted cod, braised venison stew... For two, we recommend the surf & turf plate, featuring filet mignon and lobster tail. In addition to its tasty dishes, the restaurant's reputation is built on its magnificent terrace overlooking the St. Lawrence River, with lounges for relaxing on sunny days.

Friendly restaurant. Terrace, beautiful view. Breakfasts, grills, levées (pork ribs), pizza, seafood, homemade pies.

If you're craving fish and seafood, Les Terrasses du Capitaine is the place to go! The restaurant's location right on the quayside makes it a real maritime experience. On the menu: Cajun halibut bites, surf clam chowder, butter cod filet, lobster ravioli and scallop tartare. For a special treat, we recommend the crab or lobster plate, or the land and sea platter.

It's hard to miss this snack bar on the quays of Sept-Îles: just look for a dining room in the shape of a giant lobster trap and a miniature lighthouse. The tone is set, and the menu is faithful to expectations, given the maritime region: seafood egg rolls (very popular!), breaded scallops, crab, shrimp or lobster guédille, cod fish & chips... But like any self-respecting snack bar, burgers, hot dogs, poutines, fries and other typical dishes are also on the menu. Perfect for a meal on the go!

An address that doesn't look like much from the outside, but is well known to Quebecers. Open since 1977, everyone knows this small family cooking restaurant, renowned for its famous seafood pizza, its fresh lobster in season, its trawler's plate or its chicoutai pie. The house also prepares land and sea dishes or fish and seafood, grilled meats, fish, crab club sandwiches, scallops, gratinated pastas, various pizzas, BBQ chicken, etc.

A newcomer to the Tadoussac gourmet scene, Le Bar Rayé is housed in a charming ancestral home with a breathtaking view of the marina, bay and St. Lawrence River. The watchword in the kitchen: source locally to offer the best the Côte-Nord has to offer. And there's something for everyone on the slate, especially fish and seafood, the hallmarks of this maritime region. We sampled a lobster guédille with a house cocktail, followed by a succulent cheesecake with homemade camerise syrup. Top-notch!

The potato caravan is well known in Tadoussac - and even beyond - and is highly reputed for its fries, the know-how of which goes back several decades. All the great snack classics are on the menu, from the ultra-popular cheese burgers to the grilled cheese, not to mention the poutine, which comes in a dozen versions. But we repeat, you absolutely must try the fries, which are gladly accompanied by the house maple mayonnaise. A delight!
