Buzz — Restaurant in Lac-Brome

I'm sure all of you know, by now, how the town of THREE PINES in the Louise Penny novels is actually Knowlton (Lac Brome) and Buzz is the local restaurant equivalent set in those same books. The restaurant was surprisingly quiet on a cool by sunny Saturday morning where we ordered a exceptionally enjoyable breakfast of bacon and eggs. Not sure why, but everything about the meal and locale worked, eggs done just right, amazingly freshly baked croissant (it must have been only minutes old), crispy back and a small slight of brie with jam...it just hit the spot.

They basically came over and kicked us out saying that that the table was now reserved. Really unpleasant and embarrassing in front of other customers. We will...
