Chez Raymonde - Chibougamau

I was quite taken aback to discover such tasteless food in Quebec. I ordered moose and a baked potato. The moose was tough and lacked seasoning. The baked potato was okay, but it only came with margarine, no butter or sour cream. One positive aspect was that the prices were reasonable and the staff were friendly and able to communicate in English.

If you enjoy a hearty dish of macaroni and cheese with mashed potatoes, then this is the restaurant for you! Adding a side salad or some chopped parsley could have elevated the appearance of this somewhat unappetizing beige dish.

Chibougamau is a northern Quebec town known for its industrial surroundings, lacking options for fine dining. Chez Raymonde, essentially a cafeteria, offers a three-course meal for $20 Canadian. Our experience included a forgettable pea soup, overcooked souvlaki with tasty French fries, and a bland apple pie. The service was friendly and efficient, but note that they do not have a liquor license.

I'm not sure if I'm just not enough of a foodie or maybe I'm not posh enough but given the reviews, I had high expectations.

Five stars for sure! This place has it all: Cute, charming, stylish, extremely welcoming and friendly and delicious food.
