O’Petit – Where Morin Heights People Meet and
Eat
Photo:

Heights.
In December 2010, a cloud fell over Morin Heights. Restaurant
O’Petit closed down, and people lost their hub, having to resort to
meeting for a coffee at I.G.A. of all places!
In February 2011, O’Petit re-opened in a new, better location, and
without any announcements or special invitations the place filled up.
You may now bring your own wine for your luncheon at O’Petit (if you
forgot, just hop over to Vaillancourt). O’Petit has daily lunch
specials priced (about $10 to $15.) Breakfast is as it was in the
past…hearty, and served with a smile. Jacob Dampal is the
chef. His wife Zoila takes care of the front. Together they
provide wholesome meals, and a friendly place to meet, be it inside or
on the terrace. The walls are decorated with photographs of Morin
Heights yesteryear.
When you come by, you may see old timers, fathers and sons,
gardeners, contractors, and “wood doctors” on their break, and of
course, the village colourful characters doing the daily Gazette
Puzzle.

One of the popular dishes at O’Petit, Fish & Chips served on Fridays.
Village people hold breakfast meetings, birthday celebrations etc.
at this spot. If you need to have a private party, you may even
arrange for a special cake to be baked for you. And if you wish to
come on a Friday, you better make sure that your reserve your “Fish ‘N
Chips”, the place is swarming with people who had the same idea.
Sunday morning is another popular time. O’Petit has a menu with à la
carte items from Soup of the Day ($3.95) to Grilled Cheese ($5.95) to
O’Petit Panini in different combinations ($8.75), and there is a
children’s Menu ($4.75), coffee ($1.75), Espresso and Cappuccino, and
even a Smoothie! Deserts are served decorated with a
coulis
and whipped cream.
Restaurant
is open seven days a week for breakfast and lunch 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. on
week days and 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on weekends. O’Petit Restaurant: 879
Village Road, Morin Heights. 450 226-8848. Bon Appétit!

“Belle
et Bom” – Fish & Chips and Fun in St. Sauveur
On a sunny day last summer, we drove by and saw the sign “Fish &
Chips”; this intrigued us we just had to try it! We did it on a
Saturday late afternoon. We sat in the front terrace, and chose the
special complete meal: starting with a home-made vegetable barley
soup, followed by a plate of fish & Chips, salad with a raspberry
home-dressing, and three different home-made tartar sauces served on a
shell. The fish was Sea Bass fried crisply in thin batter. Coffee and
a desert, a tasty carrot cake, were included. Sophie Cussons, the
owner, told us that all recipes are from her mother and grandmother.
The Fish and Chips meal is $10.95. For an additional $2.99 you also
get soup, coffee and desert. If you so desire, you can have mashed
potatoes or rice, and for an extra $1, even Poutine instead of the
fries. The bill for two people was $31 (tax included).
Sophie came with a friend to St. Sauveur one day, saw this former pawn
shop, and decided to open a restaurant that allows people with smaller
budgets to have a dinner-dance evening in St. Sauveur. She really
likes seeing people having fun. Her friend Leo Coursol comes in on
Fridays and Saturdays to play soft jazz, pop or simply dancing music.
On Wednesdays Sophie has a Karaoke night.
The restaurant also serves a $16.95 meal of fillet mignon or ribs.
There is also a complete meal for two of fillet mignon including a
bottle of wine for $59.95. The restaurant is open Mon., to Thur., from
11:30 a.m., to 8 p.m., Weekend hours are: 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. 123 rue
Principale, Saint-Sauveur, 450 240-0911.

Belle
et Bom - St. Sauveur
On September 2nd I visited
Belle et Bom ate a meal with a friend and we both decided that the
place has merit, nice ambiance, good friendly service and one gets
value for the money, especially for the Fish & Chips which was well
cooked and tasty. Since then I have spoken to Sophie Cussons,
the owner and tried some other items on the menu, including ribs,
poutin with a three-pepper sauce, pudding Chaumeur and found it that
her aim is to have people who are having a great time, while not
spending a fortune on food, and she even has a friend who comes to
play on Friday and Saturday nights so people can dance if they wish.
On Wednesday nights she lets people enjoy Karaoke too.
