At the Maison de l'Île d'Orléans, the lunch service (breakfast) is intended to be a highlight of your stay. It is neither vegetarian, nor vegan, nor vegan. It is simply delicious, without being heavy. The hearty five-course meal will keep you going until dinner.

 

You are invited to the table at 9 a.m. for a tasting of the chef's choices. The culinary discovery lasts approximately two hours. Thus, in terms of duration and choice of menu, this lunch is similar to brunch. 

​

It is aimed at lovers of local gastronomy, because everything is prepared on site using ingredients from the island. The menu adapts to one thing: the rhythm of the seasons. To create it, Yves, the resident chef, was inspired by the recipes of great starred chefs from France and elsewhere. ​

Slow food mouvement

​

The "Slow Food" movement -- practiced here -- has its roots in 1986. A group of friends -- with a common passion for establishing a clear connection between pleasure, the origin of food and rural life -- meet around the values of bonhomie and good simple food. This is what we offer you.

​

Among the objectives are the following:

​

• Oppose the degrading effects of the food industry and fast food culture that standardize tastes.

• Promote the beneficial effects of deliberate consumption of local food and indigenous food.

• Promote a philosophy of pleasure.

• Encourage attentive and environmentally friendly tourism and solidarity initiatives in the food sector. 

• Work to safeguard and promote public awareness of culinary traditions and mores.

• Helping artisan food producers who make quality products.

The Express​

​

But if you are in a hurry and have to leave your room early, Yves has also thought of you. Served at 7:30 in the morning, before the gourmet lunch, the Express will be able to sustain you before departure.
