Auberge du Ptit Paradis - Val-des-Monts

Wow! We traveled from Dallas, TX and I have never commented on YELP before, but, Hunan deserves a shout-out.

Went a while ago after reading rave reviews of this place from notable food critics and was reminded of this unmemorable experience by the disappointing

We were only here one night. this accommodation is located in the green and invites you to relax. the dinner and the breakfast were really great! the host make their job with leib and soul.

Experience wonderful French cuisine in a lovely rural setting in western Quebec. This auberge, with beautifully modernized rooms, hosts up to 15 people for dinner. The a la carte menu must be reserved 2 days in advance (consult webpage) as the food is locally sourced from farmers and everything is made fresh. The a la carte is a prix fixe. We started with an amuse bouche of orange and yellow pepper soup. The sauteed foie gras with mango and the homemade gravlax were sublime appetizers. A palate cleanser of kiwi apple sorbet was a treat as were the fresh french rolls that kept coming out of the oven. When we ran out, Christian, the chef, produced more. The main courses of bison with tea sauce and scallops in red pepper and orange sauce were equally wonderful. An interesting variety of crunchy, freshly steamed vegetables accompanied the mains. Another sorbet granite followed before the dessert of nougat ice cream cake with mango coulis was served. Diners can bring in their own bottle of wine (no corkage fee applied.) The special occasion was made even more so with the highly personalized table service of Lise and the entertaining discussion with Christian. This was the best dining experience we have had in a long time. It is a little treasure in the Val-des-Monts region, about 40 minutes away from Ottawa.
