Weekend brunch just got a spectacular upgrade, darling. And it involves a scenic train ride through the Quebec countryside, a gondola ascent to a mountain summit, and the most extraordinary meal you have ever had at the top of Canada’s largest mountain east of the Rockies.
Train de Charlevoix and Le Massif de Charlevoix have joined forces to create one of the most unique and breathtaking dining experiences in the country, and we are completely obsessed with every single detail.
Every Saturday and Sunday from June 15 to October 13, passengers board a 9 AM train at Montmorency Falls station bound for Petite-Rivière-Saint-François. As the train winds its way through some of Quebec’s most breathtaking terrain, panoramic views of the Saint Lawrence River, rolling marshlands, wildflower-filled hills, and nearby mountains unfold outside the window in the most cinematic fashion imaginable. This is not just a journey to brunch. This is a journey through the very heart and soul of Quebec’s most spectacular landscape.
Upon arrival at the Gare du Massif, guests transition from rail to air, boarding a gondola that ascends to the summit of Le Massif de Charlevoix with views that stretch endlessly in every direction. And at the top, a short trip leads to the Camp Boule restaurant where the real magic begins.
The mountaintop brunch features local specialties and the freshest seasonal ingredients, with a menu spanning verrine to mignardise and, of course, the obligatory weekend mimosa that makes everything feel just a little more celebratory and a lot more perfect. Dining at the summit of a mountain with the most extraordinary view of Quebec stretching out before you? This is what peak dining truly means.
The return journey departs the Gare du Massif at 3:30 PM, arriving back at Chute-Montmorency station by 5 PM, bringing a perfectly full and unforgettably beautiful day to the most satisfying close.
The full package is priced at $369 per person taxes included. For those who want to experience the scenic beauty without the meal, a travel-only option is available from $99.
This summer, the most extraordinary brunch in Quebec is a train ride and a gondola lift away. And we think that sounds absolutely perfect.
