Sunday, we like to brunch? What is more satisfying than taking your time to enjoy a good meal, at your own pace, while tasting a multitude of different dishes? Abundance is usually not lacking in buffet style brunches. That's why we suggest five locations in Quebec where we do not skimp on quantity, but especially on the variety while keeping the concern for quality.
1. La Ruée vers Gould
In the Eastern Townships lies this beautiful inn paying tribute to Scottish immigrants who populated the region. Inspired by Scottish traditions, it serves the Sunday Grand Brunch, one of the best in the region. Copious wish, it is even suggested to visitors to be fasting from 20 pm on Saturday evening. Large tables are filled with classic omelettes, bacon, sausages, small potatoes, but also hot dishes simmered like veal with sotch and a fricassee of lamb. A panoply of fresh salads and decadent starters accompanies the whole. Not to mention the unimaginable dessert table with its impressive variety of pies and cakes!

The buffet is divided into four sections. The breakfast area includes croissants, danishes, muffins, eggs and gourmet fruit pancakes. On the traditional buffet side, there is a variety of mixed salads, but also homemade smoked fish boards, cold cuts, terrines, rillettes and pâtés as well as fine cheese platters from Quebec.
