What are the year’s key trends according to MICHELIN Inspectors?
According to the report prepared by the 2026 MICHELIN Inspectors, Québec’s locavore ethos isn’t a trend—it’s a way of life. From produce grown on Île d’Orléans supplying Québec City kitchens like Coteau, to chefs foraging just steps from their dining rooms (hello, Auberge Saint-Mathieu in Saint-Mathieu-du-Parc), proximity is flavour.
Some restaurants aren’t just sourcing locally—they’re growing it themselves. At Les Mal-Aimés in Cookshire-Eaton, the experience unfolds on a working farm in the Haut-Saint-François countryside. Over in Stanbridge East, Espace Old Mill takes things even further, with more than 40 varieties of vegetables and a carbon-neutral greenhouse on site.
Success breeds expansion. A number of chefs already in the MICHELIN selection are opening second acts. Bibine Buvette in Drummondville is the follow-up from Chloé Ouellet (Au Pâturage – Espaces Gourmands), while Coquette in Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré comes from the team behind MICHELIN-Starred Kebec Club Privé and Torii – Buvette Japonais.
Less is more. Across the selection—especially among Bib Gourmand spots—menus are getting tighter, sharper and built for sharing. The result? A more convivial, high-impact dining experience at places like Annette Bar à Vin in Montréal, Le Clocher Penché in Québec City and Baumier in Piémont.
Open-flame cooking isn’t just a trend—it’s a full-blown obsession right now, and Québec kitchens are leaning in hard. Expect smoke, char and drama at places like Hoogan et Beaufort in Montréal and Saindoux Restaurant BBQ in Sainte-Marie, where fire does most of the talking.
On the quieter, more experimental end of the spectrum, fermentation is weaving its way through menus at Auberge Saint-Mathieu in Saint-Mathieu-du-Parc. Chef Samy Benabed draws on Scandinavian preservation traditions, building layers of flavour that feel both ancient and distinctly local.
Even in the world of fine dining, price is very much part of the picture. With rising costs and shifting sourcing realities, many restaurants are tightening their focus on Québec wines and local craft beers—keeping things closer to home, and closer to the wallet.
Others are actively reshaping the experience to stay accessible. At Le Clan in Québec City, that means a polished lunch menu at C$59, and a weekend brunch that comes in at C$39—proof that high-end cooking doesn’t always have to mean high-end pricing.
