Le Local du Gourmet

I visited this restaurant for dinner during MTL à Table event. The meal consisted of three courses and cost $31 per person.

Was here for the complimentary breakfast as we stayed at the HotelThe waiter was always very polite and courteous.

Chef in the open kitchen and is absolutely delicious. The service is excellent and the atmosphere is cozy and inviting. I highly recommend trying the seafood risotto and the chocolate lava cake for dessert. Overall, a fantastic dining experience that won't break the bank.

Plusieurs petits plats raffinés y sont servis. Déjeuners brunch. Le café est délicieux. Le service laisse à désirer.

At the end of September, we drove out to Valleyfield, Quebec and walked along the canal. It is always difficult to find information about restaurants in Valleyfield. I read about Le local on a couple of websites, but the restaurant/café itself has no website. We found it without difficulty and entered a well-lite, bright, squeaky clean, inviting space that is both a restaurant/café and a gourmet food store. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The menu is small and for lunch was nearly all sandwiches and one salad option. The sandwiches included tuna salad, Asian chicken salad, ham and cheese, chevre and caramelised onions, vegetarian of the day, and a BLT. The salad option was broccoli with cheese and cranberries. We tried the tuna salad and the locally cured ham and cheddar sandwiches. They were both good. The broccoli salad was served as a side with each sandwich and it was excellent. The broccoli was very fresh and tossed with a light mayo-type dressing. We both had a variation of tiramisu for dessert. It was the traditional sweetened mascarpone cheese over a layer of local strawberries. It was very delicious. We both had cappuccinos that were excellent and beautifully served in bowls.Within the restaurant there is a large section of gourmet products including pasta from Italy, olive oils from Italy and France, a large selection of vinegars, homemade chutneys, bulk loose tea, and formaggio parmigiano reggiano. There was also a limited selection of handmade porcelain. We bought a very pretty olive dish by the artist Stephanie Paquet. We look forward to visiting again.
