LA MALBAIE. Specializing in regional and French cuisine, this attractive yellow home is a favorite dinner destination for locals, especially if they're looking for a romantic evening out. Indeed, the dining area offers the elegant charm that one would expect from one of Charlevoix's finest: candlelit tables décorated with fresh cut flowers, exquisite silver and china, period antiques and inviting, almost rustic furnishings. The chef, who has been described as "a poet of gastronomy," enjoys a fine reputation in the region and prepares each dish using local seafood, meat and produce. In the summer, expect to find the large picture windows thrown open to allow a smooth breeze from the Saint Lawrence to accentuate the aroma from the kitchen; on cooler evenings, the dining area is warmed by a crackling fire in the stone fireplace. Reservations are strongly recommended.

ÎLE-AUX-COUDRES. There are few places to dine on the Île-aux-Coudres, but this inviting hotel (circa 1930) offers one of the best options. Indeed, the elegant dining room's vaulted glass ceiling and picture windows create an airy, almost surreal dining experience, no matter what the season. Try and land a table overlooking the fountain and pool in the rear garden. Dine on expertly prepared Charlevoix favorites, from grilled salmon and caribou to veal and rabbit, all served will local vegetables. As always, dessert is worth saving room for, especially the homemade pies. Reservations are suggested.

LA MALBAIE. This cozy corner restaurant, located in La Malbaie's quiet town centre, is a popular dinner destination for locals and tourists in-the-know. During the summer months, à la carte options range from heaping dishes of their signature Fettucini Allegro, served with marinated Tandoori-style chicken and fresh vegetables; and Santorini, a delicious pizza with feta, black olives, marinated tomatoes and Nordique shrimp. Afterwards, you can sample their delectable homemade desserts. A word to the wise: while the chocolate mousse could launch 1000 ships, gamble and go with the dessert du jour – you'll never go wrong!
