Gastronomy

Auberge des 21's kitchen is the pride and passion of Nicole and Marcel Bouchard, true professionals of the gastronomy profession who are keeping alive the legendary warmth of the region's hospitality.

Chef Marcel Bouchard

Located on the shores of the majestic Saguenay fjord, Auberge des 21 and its health center are the perfect 1-2 course for this Québec gourmet 'relais', equally renowned as a paradise of pampered pleasures and relaxation offered on a platter of efficient and professional service.

For 16 years, this establishment has been among the select award-winning dining inns of Québec. Preference is given to local produce, especially little known wild, edible plants such as bulrush, cranberry bush, cloudberry, wild violet and mayflower, to create a modern cuisine inspired by local traditions and Amerindian recipes.

The inn is also home to some of the world's finest wines.

With masterful dexterity and finesse, chef and owner Marcel Bouchard varies his menu each week to satisfy and surprise his many faithful patrons. Auberge des 21's relentless search for excellence in everything it does, its use of fresh products, then processed in-house, combined with impeccable table service, are all ingredients that contribute to its reputation as one of the most highly recommended dining establishments in the region.
