The story
In the heart of Val-David, a village known for its artistic spirit and natural beauty, L’Épicurieux brings a refined yet welcoming approach to modern cuisine. The restaurant, located on rue de l'Église, has earned a Michelin recommendation for 2026, a recognition that speaks to its careful cooking and thoughtful hospitality.
The dining room strikes a balance between casual comfort and understated elegance, with warm wood tones and an open kitchen that lets guests watch the chefs at work. The atmosphere is relaxed, encouraging conversation and lingering over a meal.
The kitchen focuses on seasonal ingredients, sourcing from local producers in the Laurentians and Quebec. The menu changes regularly, but the approach remains consistent: clean flavors, precise technique, and dishes that let the ingredients speak. Look for plates that highlight vegetables, fish, and meats prepared with a modern sensibility—perhaps a seared scallop with a light beurre blanc, or a slow-cooked duck breast with root vegetables.
The wine list is curated to complement the food, with a focus on small producers from Quebec and France. The staff is knowledgeable and approachable, ready to guide without pretension.
L’Épicurieux is the kind of place where a special dinner feels natural, not forced. It’s a destination for those who appreciate modern cuisine done well, in a setting that feels both local and worldly.
