Between Sherbrooke and Quebec City, there is Highway 20. But there are also secondary roads that cross the Eastern Townships and offer a unique gastronomic journey in Quebec. Few people do it yet. Here’s why you should.

Gourmet Estrie

The Eastern Townships have developed an extraordinary gastronomic culture. Vineyards, artisanal cheesemakers, cideries, local breweries — the region offers a density of agri-food producers hard to find elsewhere in Quebec. Taking route 116 or route 112 lets you discover all this.

The Must-Stop Coffee Break

Before heading back to Quebec City, a break is essential. Look for the local specialty coffee — often hidden in a small shopping street, often run by enthusiasts who take their work as seriously as a natural wine producer. Then, in Quebec City, finish at Carrera Café.

Your Arrival in Petit Champlain

At 72 Champlain Boulevard, the espresso awaits you. After hours on secondary roads and gourmet discoveries, Carrera's specialty coffee takes on a new dimension. The journey ends in the cup.
