3 Country-Style Tables Champêtres to Discover in Brome-Missisquoi

Quite different from restaurant formulas, Tables Champêtres propose country-style menus served directly on the farm. Here, every dish celebrates local flavours. In fact, these farm tables immerse their guests in a culinary landscape shaped by the seasons, and offer an opportunity to meet passionate producers who do everything they can to bring out their terroir’s best. Whether you enjoy gourmet picnics or gastronomic meals, Brome-Missisquoi’s Tables Champêtres are sure to be an authentic and memorable experience.

Les Cocagnes

Les Cocagnes is a non-profit collective agro-ecological project based in Frelighsburg. As well as offering an affordable location for young start-up produce businesses, Les Cocagnes will be developing a full range of family-friendly, immersive agritourism experiences over the next few years. In fact, their Table Champêtre provides exactly such an experience. Every weekend from June to September, a five-course meal is designed and prepared by guest chefs using fresh produce from the farm. Pizza Tuesdays are also not to be missed! These informal evenings feature home-made pizzas cooked on site. Some truly memorable evenings for the entire family! All this takes place in the middle of the fields and near the pond under a magnificent terrace pergola. Visit their website for all the details and book your table!

Espace Old Mill 

Espace Old Mill is a culinary and agricultural gem located in the charming village of Stanbridge East! In fact, it was recently nominated for the prestigious “Top 10 Best New Canadian Restaurants 2023” by EnRoute Air Canada.

The brainchild of Jean-Martin Fortier, this historic site combines an artisanal farm, a gourmet restaurant, a boutique and a cozy inn (La Cecil House). Their culinary philosophy celebrates the flavours of the terroir. Each dish is a tribute to the seasonality and diversity of the region. Working closely with Brome-Missisquoi’s finest winemakers and producers, Espace Old Mill is committed to offering fresh, high-quality ingredients, thereby supporting the local economy. More than just an establishment, Espace Old Mill is an immersive experience where passion for the culinary arts and agro-ecology come together in perfect harmony.

Ferme Cidricole Équinoxe 

Since June 2024, Ferme Cidricole Équinoxe has been welcoming guests to their Table Champêtre using a pub-style format, opting for an accessible cuisine, and where all their spirits are produced on site with the farm’s organic produce. In addition to cider and spirits, visitors enjoy dishes made with their organically bred livestock and terroir crops. The terrace, which overlooks the fields, offers visitors the opportunity to take a stroll through the orchard (and the vineyard in the process of being developed). They’ll enjoy seeing the animals in their natural environment and will be able to ask the owners, who are on hand, any questions they may have. Visitors can even book a guided tour! Plus, the Équinoxe Pub Champêtre is open to all ages, and even to the family pet.
