I wish I could give them a higher review, but I simply can’t look past the fact that they almost sent me to the hospital.
I have an anaphylactic allergy to egg and pine nuts which Parcelles was made aware of days before in addition to when we arrived to eat.
For one of the courses, the dish contained an egg based sauce that I had never had before. As I was about to take a spoonful, my mom told me she thought it had egg, and we paused to double check. The server told us it did, and I was astounded how little this fact concerned the restaurant staff, particularly the waiter.
If someone at my table hadn’t pointed this fact out at the last minute, I would have had an allergy reaction and would have been in the hospital. By all accounts, they let that happen.
There were no sincere apologies and no additional attention to detail going forward. Instead it was the contrary, with kitchen staff taking shots later in the service and our waiter “tasting” (a lot) of wine before serving bottles to tables. Drinking on the job in any other circumstance would be viewed as very unprofessional.
We emailed the restaurant after to express the problems that night. To our disgust it has been serval weeks and we have yet to receive a response.
For a restaurant of this caliber, this is an absolute shame and no one should look past this, whether you have an allergy or not.

“Table champêtre” by chef Dominic Labelle and his team in Austin, QC. One of the best table I have had the chance to enjoy in my life. 7 services of fresh, tasty, inventive, delicious and beautiful dishes. All made from just picked ingredients in their garden and/ or greenhouses and seasonal delicacies. Add to this a well researched and extensive “cave à vin”! “Parcelles” is a must for foodies and gourmets alike. Reservations are required and the calendar opens the 1st of the month preceding the reservation schedule. Only 19 guests at a time so it fills up very quickly. But then you get treated like royalty. To note: When we were there, one of the guests was allergic to seafood and had mentioned this in the reservation form. The chefs had already noted and had prepared an alternative to the dish containing lobster. The guest comment was that his dish was possibly better than ours.

You come for the atmosphere and the fresh, delicious food. Seating is limited to 20 people, so it's best to reserve in advance directly through their website. They’re open from Friday to Sunday, noon to 9 PM.
Parking is available on the street, and you walk to the house where the wood-fired oven is located to place your order.
The menu is fixed, offering starters and a shared pizza for $50 per person (including taxes and tips). You can add a bottle of wine or cider for $40+.
Payment is made before seating yourself in the open garden area, where picnic tables are set up. There is no service to the table. When your starters are ready, your name is called, followed shortly by your pizza. You also clear your own table, bringing dishes to a designated spot. From what I understand, this is due to their permit regulations.
But as I mentioned, you come for the view, the atmosphere, and the fresh food. It’s an experience in itself. You’ll dine among rows of lettuce, kale, broccolini, carrots, zucchini, and other vegetables, all while watching the sunset over Lake Memphremagog, wine glass in hand.

A real favorite for treasure in Estrie. The rural atmosphere and the team are warm, the food and flavors are delicious and creative, the prices are fair, in short it's one of my favorite places. Thank you for giving us this great experience!

Dominick and the whole team work very hard to grow tasty vegetables and the fruit of their labor is delicious. I loved the place, the super warm atmosphere and the food. There was more food than two could eat and the wine list is very impressive! As for the price, well I find it absolutely fair that the set menu costs $100 for 2 people, plus alcohol. I go out to restaurants regularly and very rarely come away with bills below $90 alone. Note that they do not accept tips!!
$170 for a pizza with 4 starters and a bottle of wine all on a picnic table. Luckily the view is beautiful. I want to encourage local and organic products but there are limits to being stolen.

Very unique dining experience with farm-to-table dishes (and amazing pizza) and natural wine in a hip/relaxed (and beautiful) ambience. I have not dined anywhere quite like this and would recommend without hesitation.

A must if you are in the area, or even a detour! Beautiful atmosphere at the foot of the fields with careful cuisine. The service is good, the scene is memorable.
