auberge villa pachon - Jonquière

We found ourselves in the Saguenay region when this year we found our 20th. Anniversary celebrated and had a time to find something worthy of the opportunity during Covid, in this non-so-urban area. After some research we discovered the Auberge Villa Pachon. Our special dinner... there was the best decision of the year! The delicious menu online attracted us and the terrain full of charming sealed the deal. We booked well in advance during this terrible pandemic and arrived just like things were blowing up with the second wave. Other places canceled our reservations, but we sighed with relief when our booking remained honored. We moved to an empty car park on Wednesday night and feared the worst (many places did not give notice of closures and simply locked their doors). Fortunately, we entered a safe but friendly welcome from the owner. She led us to the charming historical dining room, oozing with sophistication and warmth, and sat at the table of our choice. We have our favorite delicacies from foie gras, to duck, to game and other hearty delights. The wine list was as impressive as we paired each course with a beautiful vintage after the other. The dessert was delicious and personalized to our special opportunity to take an incomparable meal, from soup to nuts. The most memorable part of this fabulous experience was the service. Our heart went to this couple and tried to run a business for which they all worked their lives during this pandemic. My husband is a cook, so we know that the difficult challenges of 2020 have dealt with the hospitality industry in particular. Despite all the challenges, the beautiful woman served us with ease, sincerity and unbelievable kindness (massified and socially as far as possible). Her husband prepared a meal for a king and finally greeted us with his good wishes. Both were mainly Francophone and we Anglophon, but we muddled together with a delightful exchange never-the-less. It was the cherry on the top of the proverbial cake! This culinary experience was one of our most unforgettable nights. It reminds us that when things go wrong, there are really good people in this world who do everything to make it right... even for complete strangers. At the end of our meal they gave us a quick tour through the facilities and we regretted that we had not discovered this beautiful local jewel before we book our accommodation. If you are ever in jurisdiction somewhere, we recommend you book this as your home base for the region – you will thank your lucky stars you did!
