Where to eat in Kamouraska: Dining out in the Bas-Saint-Laurent
The province is full of beautiful places to visit, where you can spend a few days relaxing away from the city. Among these places is Kamouraska. Located in the Bas-Saint-Laurent region, this municipality includes several charming villages where nature is majestic, the people are delightful, and the products are exceptional.
Work Up an Appetite in Kamouraska
If you’re into outdoor activities and sports, you won’t be short of things to do. The region boasts numerous hiking trails, as well as the Route Verte for cyclists, all with breathtaking views of the St. Lawrence River. For a higher vantage point, we recommend the cliffs of Saint-André, famous for rock climbing. To experience the coastline from a different perspective, grab some paddles and head out on a kayak. We also suggest a visit to Pointe aux Orignaux and the Rivière Fouquette watershed—it’s magical.
After all these activities, you’ll surely be very hungry. Fortunately, Kamouraska and its surroundings are a gourmet destination! You’ll find excellent local producers and some great restaurants where you can enjoy fresh seafood and fish.
Located 1.5 hours from Quebec City and 4 hours from Montreal, Kamouraska is ABSOLUTELY worth the trip.

You’ll find regional delicacies such as guinea fowl, sea bass, Gaspé halibut, William Bay oysters, Cabrito (suckling goat), homemade seaweed pita bread, and more.

Tête d'Allumette - Microbrasserie
This micro-brewery in Saint-André offers a fine selection of beers brewed in house. Due to COVID restrictions, there’s no on-site consumption, but the fantastic beers can be enjoyed on the spacious and pastoral lawn across the river. Tête d’Allumette is a perfect place for a happy hour! And should the beer spark a hunger, they also offer some delicious “side dishes” to nibble on.
Saint-André-de-Kamouraska
Pépita
The brand-new pizzeria from the wonderful Côté Est team has just opened, and it’s absolutely delicious! The smoked eel and Calabresa pizzas are our favorites, but honestly, they’re all great. First come, first served, and you eat in a small room overlooking the river.
Saint-Germain
Le jardin du bedeau
Le Jardin du Bedeau is a small gourmet grocery store that was taken over by Christian Bégin and Marie-Fleur St-Pierre some time ago. You’ll find great local products there, but more importantly, some of the best brownies and sweet treats around!
Kamouraska
Hôtel Victoria
The restaurant Hôtel Victoria is the latest project by Marie-Fleur St-Pierre and is well worth a visit in St-Pascal, just 10 minutes from Kamouraska. With a charming setting, delicious and well-crafted dishes, attentive service, and high-quality products, it’s a destination not to be missed.
Saint-Pascal
El'Drée Tacos
Cantine Tacos El’Drée is fantastic! Nestled somewhat unexpectedly in Saint-Denis de la Bouteillerie, this charming spot offers delicious tacos (we especially love the eel and birria ones!), quesadillas, and cocktails. They also have a little kids’ corner, which is greatly appreciated by parents who want to enjoy the view.

40 Arpents
40 Arpents, c’est un projet de passion, des produits d’exception et des gens formidable. C’est un rendez-vous de party les jeudis (et parfois les samedis soirs) où les proprios cuisinent pour les gourmands et servent des bons vins en faisant passer un bon moment. Pas de prétention, pas de stress et beaucoup de délices.
