Where to eat

Tony & Charlo is the place to eat. Their summer menu is truly delicious and as comforting as it is sophisticated. The terrace is entirely dog-friendly. In addition, they return all their cans to the SPCA Charlevoix, an organization whose mission is dear to them.

Dogs are also allowed in some areas of the following establishments: the Orange Bistro (adjacent section at street level), Mouton Noir (section near the petanque court, not available on rainy days), Le Bercail (behind the fence on the terrace). Otherwise, for a picnic outside, you can pick up a delicious take-out lunch at Mousse Café or Les Bonyeuses.

What to do

Baie-Saint-Paul beach and parc Boisé du Quai are a safe bet for other canine encounters and a fun walk.
The parc du Gouffre offers special access to the river bearing the same name so you can combine a walk with a refreshing swim.
You can visit the beautiful Azulée lavender field on a self-guided tour with your dog. There are great products to buy at the store there.
