After an afternoon of strolling and canoe repair, my good friend and I headed out to find supper in North Hatley. The first real warm day brought plenty of visitors to the treasure of a village on the shores of Lake Massawippi.

Read morePlease visit here! I went here 3x in one week while visiting (which happens 1-2x a year) After growing up in town I never thought I would see the day for a place in North Hatley with excellent food and drinks (craft beer, wine) Luckily Vilandre is now that place. The cherry on top is their exceptional and kind service, which is very much appreciated. We will be back, thank you...
