A longstanding gem on Chelsea’s picturesque Route 105, Les Fougères is a destination restaurant with roots as deep as the surrounding forest.
Helmed by a seasoned team dedicated to celebrating Western Quebec’s bounty, this award-winning spot has been a culinary institution since 1993.
The dining room, recently revamped, is a serene blend of contemporary design and natural warmth, featuring floor-to-ceiling windows that overlook the restaurant’s sprawling gardens. Designer touches lean toward subtle luxury, letting the views take center stage while setting the perfect tone for a meal that champions seasonal ingredients.
The menu is a masterclass in farm-to-table dining, with standouts like wild mushroom risotto, Quebecois cheeses, and thoughtfully prepared meat and vegetable dishes that reflect the ebb and flow of the seasons. Adjacent to the restaurant, the Gourmet Food Store is a treasure trove of house-made preserves, sauces, and ready-to-eat creations — a nod to Les Fougères’ commitment to bringing good food into every aspect of life.
Reservations are recommended for the dining room, but those looking to linger over a drink on the garden terrace during warmer months will find a welcoming spot. For an elevated taste of the region’s finest, Les Fougères is a timeless escape that feels worlds away yet close to home.
