Auberge de la Basilique

This restaurant is across the street from the basilica but it is closed for the summer 2017 which is most unfortunate as there are few other options in the vicinity if you dont want to go Mcdonalds or similar

The bazilika is very beautiful. And inside and outside. It's worth an hour. Around the waterfall and the canyon of Saint Anne

This little place is a cafeteria style restaurant with no frills in decor, but it is right across the street from the basilica. It has indoor and outdoor seating. We had a nice lunch there of sandwiches and soups that wee simple, but tasty. The building is, I think used also for rooms for people who go on retreats at the church. A nice little place for a quick lunch.

Read other reviews and basically agree. OK food. Had my first poutine / plain.Gravy on french fries and some type of cheese-like balls. Filling and tasty but I do not understand the gushing descriptions elsewhere. My wife had dinner of fish and chips. Total with no tip of $20.13.Not cheap as I see it. Easy parking for me this early Wednesday (4:30) worth our stopping after visiting the church across the street.Honestly, I think a family with kids would prefer one of the nearby fast food brands.

Certainly not fine dining, but this small cafeteria line has interesting hot foods, cold sandwiches and cooks some things eg. Putting, to order. Spartan eating hall but very reasonable prices.
