You, the foodie who likes to hang out and try new things with your friends, and chose to come in Shawinigan for a few days: GOOD PICK! Let me be your personal guide and suggest my favorites in order to make your stay memorable.

MY PERSONAL FAVORITES

For a stay with friends

You can also see Jacinthe’s favorites and Mélanie’s favorites.
I love receiving my friends in Shawinigan and make them discover the treasures of my city. It’s fun to be able to get away from everyday life during a weekend! Fall is my favorite season for its vibrant colors, its smell and its cooler temperature which allows you to enjoy nature comfortably and have comforting meals in great restaurants.

AND THE DREAM STAY STARTS HERE…

Trou du diable

Cheers… to friendship!

Friday evening, a trip to the Trou du diable Pub is a must. Order a microbrewery beer accompanied by a plate of salty cheese, olives and jerky. In terms of beer, I recommend the famous Kryptonite, the delicious Shawi Beach or the à la carte ciders for those who prefer a sweeter taste.

Café Le Bucolique

Charm of yesteryear

Saturday morning, hop in the car to discover the country roads leading to the Sainte-Flore sector. Once you arrive there, I highly recommend you have breakfast or lunch at the unmissable Café Bucolique. The atmosphere will take you back to the beginning of the 20th century, in a décor of tastefully arranged antiques. The warm welcome and the original lunches will please everyone.

Vallée-du-Parc

Head to Vallée-du-Parc for a short mountain hike that will reward you with a magnificent view. The flamboyant colors are beautiful from up there!

Maison Francis-Brisson

An evening rich in emotions

After the hike, an aperitif is highly deserved! Enjoy the local cheese and products you bought earlier, accompanied by a good bottle of wine from 462 Tamarac. Your next destination will be the magnificent Maison de la culture Francis-Brisson where the warm atmosphere unites with the incredible acoustics of this performance hall. A nice glass of wine in hand, let yourself be carried away by culture.

Resto-Lounge Le Radoteux

Brunch and mimosas

Sunday, last morning of this friend’s trip, head to the Resto-Lounge Le Radoteux for a gourmet brunch. There, you can have acai bowl, benedictine eggs, reunionese casserole or breton crêpes. For drinks, choose a good coffee from the Brûlerie du Saint-Maurice or even, a little mimosa to celebrate… friendship!

Ranch Dupont

A peaceful sanctuary

For this last activity of the weekend, I suggest the Ranch Dupont. You can meet the passionate owners who will tell you all about the reasons and objectives of the creation of this place! Then, go for a short walk on the enchanting site to meet the endangered species which are treated with respect and love.
