Daisies, Bison & The Wild Lanaudière Region

Our Saturday morning visit to the Jean-Talon market was a time of rediscovery: we snacked on honeycrisp apples, admired the full display cases of Portuguese custard tarts, and reminisced about the Quebec pastry that honours nuns’ farts.  Then we went upstairs and discovered something new: the Lanaudière region, a largely rural area Northeast of Montréal that provides an abundance of agricultural products for the city.

Pastries, Coffee, & Mushroom Ice Cream

We woke up after a deep and satisfying sleep—the kind that can only be induced by a full day of travel followed by an enormous pot of hot cheese.  We made plans for the day while looking out over the winter wonderland we’d landed in.
