Start your day with a smile and a warm bagel at Bobino Bagel, the first bagel factory in the Outaouais region. Here, the bagels are handmade, boiled with a hint of honey, and baked in a wood-fired oven according to the purest Montreal tradition. They have a slightly sweet, golden crust and a soft interior that melts in your mouth.  Try the classic smoked salmon bagel with cream cheese and pickles or something less common, like the famous crème brûlée bagel. Try the Déjeuner bagel, which is topped with egg, bacon, ham, cheese, and homemade sauce. Or, opt for the vegetarian version, which is topped with hummus, marinated vegetables, and feta cheese. When it comes to drinks, enjoy a steaming cup of creamy latte or a tall glass of iced strawberry matcha to refresh yourself.  Enjoy the cozy atmosphere and beautiful lighting while reading a good book or trying to get some work done. It's hard to concentrate when the room is filled with the delicious smell of fresh bagels!  Explore the boutique area to find a wide range of local products. You'll find local wines, fine foods, ceramic coffee mugs, handmade candles, and many other carefully selected items on the shelves. Find gourmet gifts and fragrant souvenirs, or simply take a little piece of Bobino home with you.  This establishment delights not only the taste buds but also your wardrobe! Discover their brand new collection of merchandise. Treat yourself to a comfortable crewneck sweatshirt for cooler mornings, an ideal cap for urban strolls, or a practical reusable shopping bag. 

Le BBQ Shop is the place to go for lovers of American-style smoked meats. It exudes a passion for barbecue with its wood-fired smokehouses, enticing aromas, and mouthwatering menu.  From the first bite of smoked brisket, the tone is set. The meat is juicy, tender, and full of character. Try the caramelized pork ribs served with homemade fries, coleslaw, and the famous signature sauce. For those who like to take risks, the pulled pork sandwich or mac 'n' cheese with pulled pork are must-try items.  Here, the smoke isn't limited to the meat—it also finds its way into the cocktails. Each drink is a spectacle, with smoke slowly escaping from your glass and creating an immersive sensory experience.  Let yourself be seduced by the Smoked Old Fashioned or the D'Lo Boucanée. Other daring creations include the Citron Fumé, a subtle blend of mezcal, tequila, and sherry enhanced with lemon that releases a light, lemony smoke in your mouth. The BBQ Shop Caesar is made with bacon vodka, BBQ sauce, and a touch of Scotch bonnet smoke and is topped with a spectacular garnish of celery drizzled with Cheese Wiz, caramelized bacon, and spicy beans.  In addition to its rustic-chic dining room, the establishment offers a beautiful terrace with a sunset view, a friendly atmosphere, and a warm welcome.
