Enjoy Montérégie

Montérégie is known as Quebec’s “pantry,” so it’s no surprise that restaurants, cafés, bistros, and other eateries abound in that region! Do you enjoy a casual atmosphere and local flavours? Head to Bistro La Traite, located in a former dairy on Île Saint-Bernard in Châteauguay. Looking for a gourmet experience? Le 1171 at Auberge des Gallant in Sainte-Marthe will delight you with its regional cuisine and elegant décor. Do you have a passion for hops? The Bilpub in Saint-Hyacinthe, which is both a microbrewery and neighbourhood pub, offers a selection of beers brewed on site and a varied menu (don’t miss the poutines with MacKroken Flower beer sauce!). If this whets your appetite, it’s time to discover the region’s many foodie spots!

In Montérégie, winter fun comes in all forms! Outdoor enthusiasts will love cross-country skiing, fatbiking, and hiking in Parc national des Îles-de-Boucherville and Parc national du Mont-Saint-Bruno, while families will jump for joy (literally!) at Uplå, home to the largest outdoor trampoline in North America, set at the foot of Mont Saint-Grégoire. On the slopes, Mont-Rigaud and Ski Saint-Bruno offer great opportunities for beginners to try skiing or snowboarding. And for foodies, maple season promises to be especially sweet: Montérégie boasts the highest concentration of sugar shacks open to the public in the province.
