Cafe Acadien

Gaspé Peninsula


On a spit of land jutting into the bay at the marina, this boat-shed-like cafe is great for breakfast crêpes, smoked-salmon omeletes, and bacon and eggs. Acadian dishes, with lots of seafood options, are on the menu later in the day. There are several small, colorful guest rooms upstairs (single/double including breakfast $80/90).
