Head into the historic core of Trois-Rivières and you’ll find Épi, Buvette de quartier, which redefines neighbourhood dining its own way with its locavore ethos and inventive approach to shared plates. With just 36 seats, this intimate spot delivers a big impact, sourcing ingredients from nearby farms like Jardins Dugré to craft dishes that celebrate the region’s agricultural roots.

Chef Simon Lemire brings an inspired touch to the menu, offering a slate of ever-changing, farm-driven creations designed to be shared. Whether you opt for a laid-back evening of grazing or dive into the tasting menu, pair it with their thoughtfully curated drink options, and you’ve got a culinary experience that’s as rooted in sustainability as it is in creativity.
