Auberge la Grange de l'ile

I was with a tour group stopping for lunch...excellent food. Try one of their own wines from their vineyard. Delicious! Relaxing atmosphere. It’s tucked away in the trees just 20 min away from downtown Quebec. 

Just had a wonderful brunch this May 13, at La Grange de l'Ile. Although we have known l'Ile for many, many years, and enjoined it every time. its unique setting in the St Laurence River just 15-20 minutes from downtown Quebec, we had never been at La Grange. Both my wife and I were mesmerized at the quality of the offering and of the service, with an amazing quantity for a modest price. So much so that we brought a doggy bag home! Excellent crepes and artisan bread with home-made preserves with beans baked to perfection and a generous portions of mixed- and ripe - fruits. Highly recommended.

Beautiful location. Very clean, quiet and restful.  Great service and the food is nothing but Excellent.  Do not expect fast food service, you are there to relax and everything is cooked just right.  Everthing was just awesome.  I highly recommend!!! 😄

Traditional French Canadian cuisine at its best

Delightful stop for lunch.

Excellent service and awesome place to stay

Auberge la Grange is tucked back off the main road in a peaceful country setting, but that's just about the nicest thing I can say. This B&B shares space with a restaurant and a vineyard, two other businesses that keep the owners quite busy and I think the B&B is an afterthought. When I checked in the owner gave me my key (when he finally found it) and told me where to find my room; after that, I was left to my own devices. The room itself is modern and adequate enough for a stay, but it had a number of tiny imperfections in construction and decor that I would not find in other places. The biggest issue I had with this stay was noise -- the stairwell, hallway, and rooms all are wood flooring, so sound just bounces all over. The people upstairs took a shower late at night and the water in the plumbing cascaded through my walls so loudly it was impossible to sleep. In the morning I could hear the hairdryer being used in the next room and it sounded like they were in my room. This place needed some serious soundproofing!  The "lobby" or common area for the B&B was so tiny, with concrete floors and devoid of any color or character, I don't know how anyone would be willing to relax there. More than once when I passed though either to or from my room there were delivery boxes on the floor or stairs that I had to walk around -- not cool from a safety point of view.

The "free" breakfast was served in a strict half-hour time frame. Both days they offered only eggs and toast with a little fresh fruit (and juice, coffee, etc); since I cannot eat eggs, I had tea, fruit, and toast for breakfast both days, the strawberry jam being served in a little plastic disposable cup. Upon checkout, since the owner did not inquire as to how I liked my stay, I offered the complaint that my room door was hard to open, that it rubbed against the floor. He seemed unconcerned and suggested it was just the humidity affecting the wood. (No, the door definitely needed a shave.) Originally I had planned to stay for three nights, but the B&B I stayed in prior to my arrival was so quaint (and far above La Grange in service) I changed my plans and stayed there again on my way home. Fortunately, the owner was fine with my change.

Peaceful setting, but ... disappointed

I will try to paint a full picture of our experience.  We were 2 couples traveling through the Il d'Orleans. We both felt the same way about our stay.  We arrived at the Grange and were met by a gentleman who never gave his name. He gave us a map after we asked where we might eat that night because his restaurant was closed,  (That was pure luck because we went back to Quebec (15Km) away for a lovely meal).  He circled a couple of areas on a local map that had restaurants but he said he knew nothing about them or if they were open. We should go and check.
The Grange: There is no public space on the first floor other than a bench along the wall and 2 easy chairs in front of a TV which were crammed to the wall and not really usable..  In fact the space was filled with boxes of deliveries when we arrived and were still there when we left.  Our room was large and stark, we had a small window partially filled with an air conditioner, not a single carpet and a leather sofa which was torn in the seating cushion. The bathroom was modern, one towel was stained and very thin the 2nd was acceptable. We heard running water all night long, and when we flushed the toilet in our room the water in our friends room gargled out.
Now for breakfast: The island is known for being the fruit basket of Quebec.  We bought apples and wonderful strawberries while driving around.  The fruit for breakfast was from a CAN! The omelet was thin, filled with a slice of ham, but was acceptable.  The condiments including jams came in individual plastic containers.
We ended the morning with paying our bill.  There was never a conversation between this unnamed gentleman and ourselves.  He never asked if he could help with our luggage.  He seemed in a hurry to close the door behind us so he could take his puppy out.  The puppy, a very cute border collie was very friendly.
The positive attributes: a comfortable queen size bed and lovely outdoor setting.
The island itself is an easy drive.  The farms are lovely, but there is nothing else to do.  If you want to go there, make it a day trip out of Quebec. The people we encountered at the fruit stands were very friendly, helpful and nice.  As a matter of fact, the Canadians are a nice, helpful and friendly people.  We only met one fairly  unfriendly person and he happen to run the Grange.
