Gem in les Laurentides, no other place like it! Beautifully built and designed, great indoor/outdoor feel. And damn the food is good!!! Montreal caliber restaurant, so grateful to have a place like this in Nominingue that takes advantage of fresh local produce. Cold brew to-go, best raspberry pie, tasty on tap beer, scrumptious soups and delicious table d’hôte menu starring seasonal favourites. Not to mention.. the owners are awesome and welcoming regardless of if you’re a local or not.. they even go out of their way to serve my partner who is a recent immigrant and I in English which is so cute and uncommon in northern Quebec. The chef is super friendly, talented and passionate and always mingling with diners. I rarely leave reviews and am not even active on Facebook since high school XD but just had to for this place. 5 STARS!!

What a welcome and refreshing stop for late lunch as we cycled on the rail trail. Service in French and in English. Fresh, delicious food and very welcoming host. We sat outside but the interior was spacious and well appointed. This makes a terrific coffee, lunch or dinner stop.

We stopped for a coffee at this cafe, but ended up buying full lunch as it looked very appealing. We got the pulled pork sandwich and it tasted amazing. Everything homemade and very fresh. But, the surprise was the dessert: waffle with homemade pineapple jam, vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce. It tasted heavenly! We’re so glad we decided to have lunch here.

This place is a hidden breakfast gem You have to try their breakfast poutine: Roasted duck fat potatoes, roasted peppers, ham, bacon and sausage, onions, mozzarella and poutine curd cheese, all of this top with hollandaise sauce and an egg... ask for an extra side of their amazing sandwich bread and you won't forget the experience!

This place is a diamond in the rough. If you’re going to stop by for food anywhere in the area, let it be this place. The decor and isn’t the best, but the food more than makes up for it. It’s also very reasonably priced. I’ve stopped by for coffee, breakfast and lunch and each time the food has been delicious and fresh. And the mushroom ravioli was some of the best I’ve ever had anywhere. No I’m not kidding.

The healthy option compared to Chez JoJo. Everything was super tasty and fresh. I am visiting my father in laws cottage up here and this will be our new go to spot. Not much else choice in this town as it is. They had fresh basil growing and the staff seemed pleasant. If you are camping, living or just passing through Nominingue this is a must visit. The large patio looks on to the old train station where there is 200km of paved bike and snowmobile trail. Pretty Amazing stuff. I hope you enjoy your visit as much as we did!
