Eating and drinking

At the dome and around town: What to eat and drink?

Unique memories are often closely linked to great food and drink. Here are a few suggestions for dining, to share at the dome or available just a short drive away!

  • On site: great food and drink at Mi-clos
  • Local restaurants: our favourite eateries for when you don’t feel like cooking

Is your plan to get to your dome and stay put all weekend? No worries: you’ll find everything you need to indulge yourself like the fleece-wearing gourmet hermit that you are.

A space-saving and fully equipped kitchen

For the freedom to prepare meals as you would at home, and even to try out new recipes, each dome is fitted with a fully equipped kitchen, including induction hob, small oven, refrigerator and freezer, sink, dishwasher, and all the usual utensils and accessories (pots and pans, plates, glasses, etc.). Enjoy the privacy and comfort of your dome to prepare your favourite meals while admiring the view of the mountains—in formal evening wear or an old, comfy sweater.

A tantalizing wine list

For wine lovers always looking to discover new bottles, Donat—a former owner of a wine bar in Montreal—has carefully selected a variety of local and international vintages that can be ordered with a text message (drop us a quick text and we’ll deliver the wine to your door!) Champagne, natural wines, light or full-bodied reds, mineral or woody whites… our cellar’s treasures are patiently waiting to be served at your table. And if you need carefully crafted food and wine pairings, just ask us!

Wine list

Natural wine and apple cider tasting

We regularly organize guided tastings, inviting you to discover new vintages and deepen your oenological knowledge—an ideal opportunity to meet other wine enthusiasts and exchange ideas in a warm and friendly atmosphere. These invitations are sent by text message during your stay, or you can call us to check availability.

We invite you to discover these unique restaurants, all within a 10-minute drive.

Traditional brunch at its best

Are you craving a traditional brunch? If so, La Mie d'Orford has just what you're looking for, with its thoughtful touches and breads baked on site (fyi, the multigrain loaf is to die for!).

Go out for a coffee, a bite or a fried chicken!

Mi-figue has just opened its doors in Orford. Go there for a late brunch for a delicious latte, a plate of homemade fried chicken, a seasonal pasta dish or a late afternoon drink (we are Spicy Margaritas fans!).

Drinks or pizza… or both?

4 o'clock is  around the corner, and you’re in the mood for a bit of fun while quenching your thirst with a choice microbrew beer. For a happy hour that sets the tone for your vacation, Canton Brasse is the place to be! 

The beer’s got you feeling peckish and that leftover spaghetti waiting for you at the dome doesn’t feel like it’s going to hit the spot? For a great takeout pizza, Deux Tomates is just the ticket! Call George to place your order (you can also dine in on their brand-new patio).

Dinner for two, on site or to go: our suggestions

Because we’re committed to the cause, slightly food-obsessed, and always hungry, we’ve tested every restaurant in the region several times over, all so we can give you a good recommendation… Here are the results of our hard work and sacrifice!

Mezze, etc.

For a quality Mediterranean meal overlooking the largest lake in the Eastern Townships, we recommend Bistro Koz, right on the shores of Lake Memphremagog (try the mezze, lamb kebabs, or shrimp, and get back to us).

Bistro style

For a fine microbrewery-style dinner, Microbrasserie des Cantons or La Memphré are sure to please. A special shout-out to our friends at Les Enfants Terribles, who offer a first-rate bistro experience all year long.

White tablecloths and impeccable service

For a classic meal with table d’hôte, white tablecloths, and impeccable service, try Magog’s French brasserie: Restaurant Pinocchio (or its sidekick, Alessa Trattoria).

Fine dining

For its creative and fun side, spoil yourself with the outstanding cuisine of Comptoir MarCel, a cozy spot with a unique menu.

Farm to table

Reservations are required, but if you’re lucky, a meal at Parcelles is one of the region’s finest farm-to-table dining experiences.

Simple and delicious

If you’re looking for more family-style dining, try Le four à bois d’Orford or Steforno.

Sushi, etc.

For lovers of bowls and sushi, head to the Sushi Shop in Magog (we loooove the Umami bowl!) Perfect for a takeout meal in front of your log fire, or on the restaurant’s patio when the weather’s nice.
