Truckin’Roll, Charlottetown
“If you go through Charlottetown, in Prince Edward Island, there are a few food trucks near a park, including the Truckin’Roll rolled ice cream truck. It’s simply amazing! Everything is homemade: the lemonade, the ice cream sandwiches and, if time is on your side (there’s always a lineup), the rolled ice cream! Plus, the mint to be (our picture), the who tarted and the monkey junk are offered with or without dairy products.” — Danielle, Recipe Tester and Standardization

Lobster Tales Cruise, Shediac Bay
“If you’re headed to New Brunswick, I suggest you try the Lobster Tales Cruise from Shediac Bay Cruises. The cruise includes a lobster meal where you’ll learn how lobsters are caught and how to shell them properly, the Acadian way. Your host is the friendly (and funny) owner. Very welcoming, entertaining and tasty! At the end of the journey, you get a splendid sunset as a bonus.” — Martine, Project Coordinator

Scoop Deck, Lobster Pound and Scales Restaurant, Maine

Fenway Park, Boston
“You must put this address in Massachusetts on your list, regardless of whether you’re a baseball lover or not: Fenway Park in Boston. Going to a game at happy hour is interesting, the ambience is incredible. A little tip: take the subway, because there’s a ton of people and a lot of traffic! The hot dogs are really good (better than at other stadiums I’ve visited) and there’s even a gluten-free option. And what can I say about the pretzels… Wow! You have to go!” — Anouk, Senior Account Manager, Creative Solutions

La Chouape and La Maison du bleuet, Saint-Félicien
“During a trip to the Saguenay region, I loved my experience at La Chouape microbrewery in Saint-Félicien. It’s delicious and there’s a lot of Quebec and local products on the menu. In the same town, there’s also La Maison du bleuet, which puts the spotlight on Lac Saint-Jean’s wild blueberries. The soft blueberry ice cream is a true summertime dream. I highly recommend it.” — Clodine, Coordinator, Content Optimization

Drake Devonshire Hotel, Wellington
“The Drake Devonshire Hotel in Wellington, Prince Edward County, Ontario, is a boutique hotel on the shore of Lake Ontario. If you want to experience the high life without paying the full price, have brunch or dinner at the hotel restaurant. Preferably on the terrace with a view on the lake; you’ll feel like you’re at the seaside.” — Marie-Pier, Senior Editor
24 Wharf Street, Wellington
ScottCakes, Provincetown
“Here’s a tourist address that I discovered by complete fluke: the ScottCakes pastry shop in Provincetown, Massachusetts. They make only one kind of cupcake: vanilla-flavoured with pink icing. It won a bunch of competitions in the US. When you’re seeing life with pink-coloured glasses, this is the place to go. The shop’s decor is entirely in tones of pink. And the cupcakes are among the best I’ve ever had in my life.” — Marika, Social Media and Digital Content Spécialist
353 Commercial Street, Provincetown
La Fée gourmande, Kamouraska
“I ate a homemade Mont Blanc slush in the pretty town of Kamouraska, at La Fée gourmande chocolate shop. This slush contains passion fruit and soft serve vanilla ice cream. There’s nothing industrial about it and it’s really delicious. There’s also the Bufton, a bistro café at the Reford Gardens (Jardins de Métis) that charmed me at lunchtime and where I ate an asparagus and cucumber salad with lovage in a scenic setting.” — Étienne, Sr Chef and Recipe Development

La Buvette Thérèse and La Société secrète, Percé
“There are two places I especially like in the Gaspé Peninsula. First, La Buvette Thérèse is a friendly restaurant. It’s very good and the atmosphere is pleasant. I love sharing a variety of dishes so that I can taste many things. The sweetbreads are excellent, as well as the crudo of the moment and the fish & chips. I loved everything. Then, La Société secrète distillery is another nice discovery. The place is original (it’s located in an old church) and there’s a rooftop terrace where we can taste various products with a view of the river. My biggest favourite: homemade mango slush made with their sea buckthorn sloe gin.” — Béatrice, Product Manager

Cantine Sainte-Flavie, Sainte-Flavie

Casse-croûte Le connaisseur, Tadoussac
«If you go through Tadoussac (the detour is worth it!), stop and eat a poutine at the Casse-croûte Le connaisseur. This is really THE best poutine in Quebec. Order the “food truck” with sausages, bacon, onions and maple mayo. It’s so good!» - Anouk, senior account manager, creative solutions

La cuisine d’été - Resto-terrasse, Île d’Orléans

La Pointe-à-John and La P’tite Cochonne, Grandes-Bergeronnes
«On the way to your holiday destination, I recommend stopping at the Pointe-à-John heritage site on the river, for an aperitif, a game of Mölkky or a picnic.

Lambo’s Deli, Toronto
«If you’re in Toronto, a stop at Lambo’s Deli is a must! It doesn’t look like much from the outside, but this small grocery store makes great sandwiches. When you’re walking a lot in this city, it’s perfect for a takeout lunch.» - Gaëlle M., project manager, digital content
176 Bellwoods Avenue, Toronto
Pâtisserie Hélène des îles, Magdalen Islands
«This is THE pastry shop in the Magdalen Islands. Absolutely everything is local, gourmet and seasonal. You need to taste their life-affirming freshly baked brioche buns, hot from the oven, and for pizza fans, the seafood pizza at Pizza d’la Pointe right next door is amazing.» - Mireille, executive director
90, route 199, Havre-aux-Maisons
Pump House Brew Pub, Moncton
«If you’re passing through downtown Moncton, New Brunswick, stop at this pub. The pizza is very good and they make their beers themselves. I’m not a beer fan, but their “crafty radler,” a blend of malt and hops with a grapefruit and tangerine soda, is so good! Since this beer is not sold in Quebec, I even made the trip to Ontario last spring to get it at an LCBO store!» - Danielle, standardization chef
5 Orange Lane, Moncton
La Knowlton Co., Knowlton
«For a little getaway not too far from the greater Montreal area, we love the microbrewery La Knowlton Co., in the Eastern Townships. There is a spectacular terrace, their excellent beers are brewed on site and, as a bonus, delicious pizza. The kids love it!» - Marie-Pier B., financial controller
576, chemin Knowlton, Lac-Brome
Domaine de l’Oie Toquée, Saint-Agapit

234, route 116 Est, Saint-Agapit
Poissonnerie Les Escoumins

152, rue Saint-Marcellin Ouest, Les Escoumins
The restaurants of Brockville
«For a weekend not too far from Montreal, opt for Brockville, Ontario. This lovely little town on the banks of the St. Lawrence has beautiful architecture, and also the first train tunnel in Canada, which can be crossed on foot, complete with special sound and lighting effects! To eat, enjoy a scone and English tea at Cosies and have dinner at the 1000 Islands Brewery (which makes excellent, pretty cocktails!).» - Geneviève, art director

La Ferme - Brasserie rurale, Shefford
