Fun and entertainment Lanaudière

There's nothing like a good craft beer to reward your efforts after a day out in the great outdoors. And it's just the thing, because a great craft brewery set up shop in the village a few years ago. On the menu: house beers such as Juste Sabro, an American IPA, Kiraz, a red cherry sour ale, and Montagne Noire, an oatmeal stout. In summer, La Confrérie's food truck sets up in the beer garden to satisfy both small and large appetites (snack menu also available year-round).

L'Albion produces English-inspired beers (modern, old and forgotten), all brewed according to the rules of the art. Some are also barrel-aged. L'Albion also offers a cuisine section, focusing on local products cooked in the traditional way. Finally, there's a small concert hall where musicians of various styles and other artists frequently perform. New: tasting room and boutique in Sainte-Mélanie.

Those familiar with the neighborhood restaurant Simone won't be disoriented by this address. That said, Marcel offers a completely different experience, as the place is both an independent^3rd wave-style café and a buvette where natural wine takes center stage. Gourmet side dishes include oysters, a platter of terrines and sausages, grilled cheese with chicken and pesto, and mozzarella di bufala. We must also mention our love for the cosy decor. This address will quickly become your HQ in Joliette!

An excellent place to discover Quebec beers with a dozen rotating cask lines. The place is also famous for its cocktails served in a Mason jar. But you shouldn't miss its gourmet menu, which includes burgers, poutines, poke bowls and, above all, the best tartars in the region (as an appetizer or meal). Melkior also prepares a NEIPA beer fondue that can be found at several retailers in Lanaudière. Not to be missed: the quiz nights that attract the crowds!
