Arriving at the Manor is like stepping into a fairy tale. It has stepped out of the past, located on almost 600 meters fronting Lake Massawipi. Nestled between the forest and the English gardens, this charming house perpetuates the art of good living where it's good to relax twelve months of the year.
The restaurant is considered one of the region's best, generous and classical at its heart, but with some daring touches - little flashes of sunshine and freshness like the delicious poached halibut on a base of rhubarb. For more than 30 years, Roland Ménard has been fostering the organic food industry of the Eastern townships. Cheese from Hatley, trout from East Hereford, deer from Highwater, wines from Magog... he has devoted himself to promoting regional products and was one of the first chefs in Quebec to meet with local producers to encourage them to develop new products.
After Roland Ménard and Francis Wolf, Alexandre Vachon took over the restaurant in 2018, imposing his style but in the same continuity by promoting the abundance of regional products.
