Gaspésie Sauvage

Gaspé Peninsula


Owners Catherine and Gérard's love of local wild mushrooms is clear from their shop south of the city, which sells locally sourced mushrooms and products derived from them – tea, powders, jellies and the like – making for a unique slice of Gaspé terroir. Marché des Saveurs Gaspésiennes in town stocks their products, too.
