The Cafe du Presbytere in the borough of Chicoutimi, Québec was an unexpected delight!
Who knew you could get such delicious vegan/vegetarian friendly food in the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region in Québec? I didn’t! Actually, I purchased quite a lot of snacks for this leg of my Québec trip before I left home, because I thought I’d be out of luck in terms of food options!
Not only did the Tourisme Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean team make sure there were vegan options for me (and vegetarian options for another blogger), they took the whole press tour group to some amazing places to eat. I feel like we really experienced this region’s cuisine.
One of the clear highlights of my trip through the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region was a lunchtime stop at the Cafe du Presbytere in the borough of Chicoutimi, Québec.
This café takes pride in serving its own version of well-known dishes made from local products and ingredients found by its chef in the woods of the Saguenay region. In a warm and friendly ambiance, you’ll enjoy delicious cuisine while encouraging your hosts’ mission of socio-professional integration. – Québec Original website

I was introduced to the fun of sleeping under the stars and enjoying nature for more than just a day at a time, late in life. Like with many other things, my best friend Greg got me hooked on hiking and camping; my life has never been the same since.
Living here in Vancouver, I feel as though there are two types of people—the super-adventure-y ones who go camping, on long hikes, and who regularly enjoy other outdoor activities each weekend. And then there are those that don’t like going outside very often. Where do I fit in? Well, I love being outside, but I don’t like extreme sports. I’d go camping and hiking more often if I knew people who enjoyed doing so.
Is it difficult to travel when you’re vegan? It doesn’t have to be! I’ve been vegan for over 17 years and have travelled throughout the world while maintaining a vegan diet. On a recent trip to Québec, I found numerous options for vegan food in Québec City. Actually, there were more places that I wanted to check out then the amount of time I had. Take a look at my recommendations and feel free to leave a comment to let me know if there are others I should check out the next time I’m in the city.

If you’re out sightseeing in Old Québec, there are several options within walking distance of all the main sights.
My first time having a poké bowl was at Bols et Poké. Clearly marked on the menu, the Mahalo bowl is a solid vegan option. There are other vegetarian options, too.

With the Saguenay river, Lac Saint-Jean, and the Saguenay Fjord, staying the night at one of the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean hotels on the waterfront seems like the right choice.
I had the pleasure of spending 3 nights in the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region in waterfront hotels.
Thank you to Tourisme Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean for the trip! You will find affiliate links in this blog post. I’ve included helpful links for you and if you end up making a purchase on one of the sites I may earn money at no extra cost to you.
