I posted a thread on the Canada board but didn't receive much of a response (yet), so I thought I'd repost here. I'm heading to the Laurentians next month and am looking for recommendations for restaurants and agri-tourism destinations (breweries, cidreries, apiaries, cheese factories etc.) I'll be staying in Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts, but will have a car. Thanks in advance! Mon Jun 05 11:56:43 -0700 2006 0 Harissa 1 535396 Like I said on the other board, try this link.

As to my requests, I was simply hoping for additional first-hand, objective experiences from other posters. The site you referred me to is great. However, being a marketing tool (and one that probably charges a fee for listings) it doesn't tell me HONESTLY whether particular venues/restaurants are worth a visit. That's all. I didn't mean to belittle your recommendations in any way -- I definitely intend to visit the restaurant you mentioned, and hope it's in or near Ste-Agathe so I don't have to worry about drinking and driving when I explore that kick-ass wine cellar!

Mon Jun 05 14:43:40 -0700 2006 535399 0 Dave 1 535402 L'Eau a la Bouche in Ste Adele and Le Clef de Champs also in Ste Adele are two excellent tables in the region. IMHO dinner at Hotel Le Quintessance in Tremblay is also A1 Mon Jun 05 17:45:14 -0700 2006 535395 0 Andrew G 1 535482 Hy!! Hope i'm not too late, check out La Quimperlaise in Ste-Agathe, really simple place but they make great crepes. Also check oun Miss Patate, sounds (and looks) really crummy, go there for lunch and have a vege-burger, the best i've ever had (and i'm not vegetarian). It's on highway 117 near St-Faustin, right before Mont-Blanc. It really does look like nothing... Bring cash Also in Mont-Tremblant (St-Jovite), Le Cheval de Jade is good. Restaurants on the mountain aren't that great and really expensive and snobby. You're better off staying in the St-Jovite village. Hope this helps and that I'm not too late!

So if any other ideas come to you, let me know! I appreciate everyone's suggestions, and will definitely avoid Tremblant -- I've been to Whistler and Blue Mountain, and I suspect Tremblant will be another typical Intrawest resort...
