The best place to eat used to be Le Privilege, but it no longer exist as a restaurant, it's now some sort of catering project, but I had to mention it. Here's the website if you're curious.
The fanciest place around is Auberge Villa Pachon (especially if you like cassoulet) in Jonquiere.

Otherwise, in Chicoutimi I would suggest La Cuisine
http://www.restaurantlacuisine.ca/
If you feel like sushi (which is so representative of the local cuisine :p) apparently Temaki Sushi Bar has the best in the province
Now, if you're into greasy comfort food (not fancy dining), the local institution is Chez Georges steak house (aka le Steak house
)You can guess the type of menu from the prominent colourful sign. It's a classic but, again, don't expect a fancy, long dining experience.
There are various inns and inn-type restaurants around the region, I haven't been to any in ages, but I will say this: l'Auberge des 21 in La Baie is overrated. Don't bother with that one.Since it was the feast of Saint Anne yesterday, blueberry season should be started. The famous Trappist made chocholate covered blueberries might be available as of this weekend, Be sure to buy some if you can, but don't fall for a knock-off.
