Éco-café Au bout du monde

The place is very pretty and has a nice atmosphere, but the food was just average. The menu has quite limited options, and the portions felt a bit small for the price. What I didn’t appreciate was that the tip was automatically included in the bill rather than being left to the customer’s discretion.

Wow I was blown away by the place. Great decor and even if the lunch was self-served, the attention and frequent visits from the waitress were worthy of the place. Softness, calm, presentation, warm. In high season it must be incredible with the stables around!

Nice atmosphere. Amazing breakfast (best I had during my holidays in Canada) and good
dinner.

The buffet breakfast is simply amazing. Good selection of freshly baked bread, well made pancakes, fruit, yoghurt, serials, egg, fried bacon and more. Adults pay $29, kids $15. Very good value. I have to specially recommend the chocolate pasta (of the house) and raspberry jam (jelly).

About the dinner. We had the beef and the rabbit. The first night we had dinner here, the beef was a little overcooked, the second night it was spot on (medium rare).

I can recommend the rabbit. Cooked and glazed perfectly. The terrine which comes as side dish is very tasty.

About the kids menu. General Tao is
not fried chicken served in a sweet and sour sauce. So not sure all people will like it. The mac and cheese and fish and chips
are very good though.

We also tried the desserts. The tiramisu is recommended. The surprise dessert of the chef turned out to be three different chocolate mousse. Incredible.

By default they will include a 15% tip in the bill (13% service charge and 2% administration fee). However, if you tell the waiter you want to decide for yourself it is not an issue.

The hotel ("lodge") is basically the only
choice for food unless you drive further away (too far for me). It is also a 10 min walk from
most rooms. They also have another (more expensive restaurant), but I think this one is an excellent choice.

Nice place, despite the tip directly included in the bill?! I don't understand the logic...

(Translated by Google) The rose salad is delicious! Pleasant decor and atmosphere. There are two disabled parking spaces closer, but a good hill to walk down.(Original)La salade de rose est délicieuse! Décor et ambiance agréable. Il y a deux places de stationnement pour les personnes à mobilité réduite plus près, mais une bonne côte à descendre.

Beautiful decor, excellent service.

Had the buffet style breakfast. Everything was delicious and plentiful. Service was fast and courteous if you need anything else other than the buffet.

(Translated by Google) I hadn't been to Le Baluchon for 20 years and I was pleasantly surprised by all the new things. You immediately feel at home in this cozy little café with its lounge section and central fireplace. We had microbrewery beers there. They have a nice selection of local microbrew beers. I can't wait to come back this summer to discover this place in the summer!!(Original)Je n'étais pas venue au Baluchon depuis 20 ans et j'ai été agréablement surprise par toutes les nouveautés. On se sent toute suite bien dans ce petit café chaleureux avec sa section salon et son foyer central. Nous y avons pris des bières de microbrasserie. Ils ont une belle sélection de bières de microbrasserie local. J'ai hâte d'y revenir cet été pour découvrir endroit en été !!

(Translated by Google) Beautiful decor, excellent service. The panet soup was sublime, the minced pork poutine is obviously not perfect, the fries being black and soft. Service and administration fees are automatically added to the invoice (13 and 2% respectively). This obligatory tip not being left to the discretion of the customer is taxable under the tax laws.(Original)Très beau décors, excellent service. Le potage au panet était sublime, la poutine à l'émincé de porc n'est visiblement pas au point, les frites étant noires et molle. Des frais de services et d'administrations sont automatiquement ajoutés à la facturation (13 et 2 % respectivement). Ce pourboire obligatoire n'étant pas laissé à la discrétion du client est taxable en vertu des lois fiscales.

(Translated by Google) Excellent midday lunch. Coconut milk and squash velouté garnished with quinoa au gratin, as well as a local meat burger.Very nice atmosphere and excellent service.Note that the service (tip) is charged directly to the bill.(Original)Petit lunch du midi excellent. Velouté lait de coco et courge garnie de quinoa gratiné, ainsi qu’un hamburger viande locale.Très bel ambiance et service excellent.A noter qu’on impute directement le service (pourboire) à la facture.

(Translated by Google) It is very beautiful, but the food is not very good. My falafel tasted absolutely nothing except burnt, and the quantities are very small. The menu is also very short. Also, what angered me the most, is the fact that tipping is included on the bill, when it is supposed to be at the customer's discretion. The most insulting thing is that the total of the bill is calculated on the amount with tip, so you end up paying taxes ON the tip. I won't be going back there again, that's for sure.(Original)C'est très beau, mais la nourriture n'est pas très bonne. Mes falafels ne goûtaient absolument rien, sauf le brûlé, et les quantités sont très petites. Le menu est également très court. De plus, ce qui m'a le plus fâché, est le fait que le pourboire est inclus sur le facture, alors que celui-ci est supposé être à la discrétion du client. Le plus insultant est que le total de la facture est calcué sur le montant avec pourboire, donc on se trouve à payer des taxes SUR le pourboire. Je n'y retournerai plus, c'est certain.

(Translated by Google) Great lunch, but no choice of juice or even water besides coffee?(Original)Excellent déjeuner, mais aucun choix de jus ou même de l'eau outre le café?

Merveilleux endroit, une promenade s'impose.
