Nestled in the western part of Québec, the Outaouais invites you to experience the unique lifestyle of its region! This vast territory, covering 33,000 square km, knows how to harmonize its dynamic city life with the dazzling beauty of nature's splendor.
Culinary habits of the Ottawa River Valley were doubtless influenced by the different peoples who successively settled there: American, Scottish, Irish, German, and French Canadian. The legacy of work site cookhouses is responsible for such hearty fare as baked beans, omelets, pancakes, and salt pork. Today the region remains prime hunting and fishing territory, with fish and game dishes perennial favorites. Deer, moose, partridge as well as northern walleye pike are all choice dishes for hunters and anglers. A paradise with panache!
