Nestled in its green setting, the Pardue Barn is a brewery farm that promotes, among other things, the circular economy and sustainable development. The first of its kind in the Centre-du-Québec region, it offers the experience "from the earth to the glass". The tasting room allows you to savor the house nectars and to break the crust with a slate of small dishes incorporating regional products. Upon reservation, it is possible to have a guided tour of the fields and the brewing room, without forgetting the animated tasting workshops.

Open since 2018 in the liveliest part of town, this vegetarian bistro-bar relies on local sourcing for its good food but also on its bar side. Fans of Quebec craft beers, you will be served here! Mention should also be made of the other alcoholic beverages (notably the Quebec gins and the privately imported natural wines), the incredible design of the place signed by Atelier Filz and, above all, its large terrace with bar which is taken by storm on sunny days. Our best address for a drink in Sherbrooke!

HopEra combines a friendly neighborhood bar with a gourmet bistro. Its specialties include craft beers inspired by both European tradition and North American modernity, and fine pizzas baked in a Panyol wood-fired oven.

For entertainment and socializing, HopEra offers a program that includes, among other things, live shows. We recommend it!

Le Zénob is an emblematic place in the literary and cultural scene of Trois-Rivières.

This concert hall is a fixture on the Islands' musical and cultural scene. All the big-name artists make a stop here on their tour of the eastern part of the province.

Established nearly a decade ago in the Saint-Sauveur district, this microbrewery is one of Quebec's capital nuggets. You can enjoy its house nectars, as well as those from other Quebec microbreweries, all enhanced by a gourmet menu featuring nothing but mouth-watering delights. In spring 2024, the microbrewery will move into its new premises in the Montcalm district (with an incredible terrace to boot), as well as setting up production in Saint-Jacques-de-Leeds in the Chaudière-Appalaches region (tasting room on site).

There's no better place in Stoneham to drink a house beer and enjoy gourmet cuisine during your outdoor outings or for après-ski (the resort is just a stone's throw away).

If you want to take home a little souvenir, drop by the shop. Another branch in the Limoilou district of Quebec City.

Old Saint-Eustache is already cute, and the microbrewery has clearly chosen one of the most beautiful historic houses to set up shop. While the main reason for coming here is to enjoy one of its many in-house nectars, don't overlook the menu, which often incorporates its beers with its gourmet creations. Poutine fans, you're in for a treat! Add to this the fact that the place boasts one of the nicest terraces in the province, and you'll understand our enthusiasm.

Located in front of the sea, this microbrewery is a friendly place to meet and gather, to share and to discover culture.

The on-site boutique allows you to stock up on your favorite nectars and items bearing the effigy of the microbrewery.

Mellön is a reference to The Lord of the Rings, a shared cinematic passion of the two childhood friends who founded the place. In fact, there's a ring hidden in the bar, and those who find it could be rewarded...

In short, a must for Chicoutimi outings!

A counter of curiosity where all the elements that constitute the decoration, as original and strange as they are, can be bought. Created in the middle of a pandemic, the address is now very much alive, with one event following another: comedy shows, jazz, musical quizzes...

The sando sandwiches in particular are really good, but the curries and ramen are just as mouth-watering. From time to time, the turntables at the back of the room are occupied by a DJ who comes to mix for a few hours. The courtyard is great in summer, even better with a jasmine iced tea.

You are in an arena, for one hour, and you shoot arrows (made of foam) at your friends with a bow. Attractive isn't it?
