farm to table

EATING AT THE FARM: WHEN AGRICULTURE AND CATERING MEET

Imagine yourself seated in the heart of a farm, surrounded by bucolic landscapes, savouring dishes prepared with care from the freshest products of the land. Quebec’s Tables Champêtres® offer much more than a meal: they invite you to a unique encounter with the flavours and artisans of our terroir.

DID YOU KNOW THAT THE TERM TABLE CHAMPÊTRE® IS A REGISTERED TRADEMARK?

3 criteria are essential to obtain the title of Table Champêtre®.

BE A PRODUCER

Owners must have their agricultural producer's card.

OFFER A MENU FROM THE FARM

The establishment must offer a table whose menu is made up of 51% or more of its own crops and livestock. The rest must be made up of local foods.

BE A MEMBER

Since it’s a registered trademark, establishments must be members of the Association.

WHAT KIND OF EXPERIENCE TO EXPECT?

A WARM AND INTIMATE GUEST EXPERIENCE

Some hosts welcome you directly into their home or into an adjacent building. You’ll be welcomed like a member of the family. Share your stories. You’ll have a great time.

AN IMMERSION IN NATURE

Pastoral landscapes, fields as far as the eye can see, sunsets, soft golden light, forget the high heels and fancy clothes.

GUARANTEED FRESHNESS

What could be fresher than produce harvested just a few steps from your table? Your meal will be full of taste and freshness!

DIFFERENT CONCEPTS EXIST

Tables Champêtres® du Québec is a showcase for local know-how, from farm to fork!

There are many different concepts, and something for everyone!

Some are close to self-sufficiency (Le Mangeoir)
Some don’t have permanent chefs, but instead receive guest chefs (Les Cocagnes)
Some only receive groups for events (À l’Orée des Champs, Le Rieur Sanglier)
Some specialize in one product (La Terre des Boers)
Some consider themselves more restaurateurs than producers (Au Pâturage)
Some only have short-lived Table Champêtre® events (Ferme Les Petites Écores – some summer weekends!)
