Le Mouton Noir

Baie St Paul


Since 1978 the rustic-looking 'Black Sheep' has been home to fine French cuisine. Fish – including walleye, the freshwater queen – is on offer when available, as are buffalo, caribou and steak, all enlivened by a deft touch that incorporates wild mushrooms and local produce. The outdoor terrace overlooks the Rivière du Gouffre. Reservations advised.
