Melon and pastis coulis (perfect for glazing grain-fed chicken), tarragon vinegar (to enhance a pan-fried wild mushrooms from here) or one of their local berry jams (to accompany a homemade cake) . We catch a few good bottles along the way – they notably hold vintages from the Vignoble de la Bauge, Domaine du Nival and Bacchantes, to name but a few names – and pretty handcrafted tableware. 148, boul.

To get equipped, from the charcoal barbecue to the smokehouse and utensils, head to BBQ Québec, where experts are on hand to advise us.
