The best restaurants L'Assomption

Located in the heart of the village, this urban bistro specializes in tapas such as cod acras, oysters and mignonettes, octopus carpaccio, arancini and tuna tataki. If tapas aren't your cup of tea, dishes like the Vice burger and pasta with snails and braised beef macreuse are also on the menu. The wine list features a selection of privately imported wines, cocktails and, above all, a mind-boggling list of Quebec gins. Good deal: oysters at $1.50 CAN on Thursdays from 3pm.

In a large, unpretentious wooden room, this address offers pure delight for gourmets. At the dawn of spring, the sugar shack comes alive and hearty meals are cooked on the wood stove in the traditional way. All you can eat, and the experience ends with the famous taffy on snow. But don't forget to bring your own booze. Note that the sugar bush also manages the Chez Ti-Jean cross-country ski center in L'Épiphanie, where you can also enjoy snowshoeing (admission fee, equipment rental on site).
