In the Magdalen Islands, local products invite you to take your time. Freshly caught lobster, scallops, smoked fish, artisanal cheeses, and seasonal vegetables deserve a kitchen worthy of them. That’s why several owners of properties represented by Maison Mer have designed this space as a true living area, created for those who genuinely love to cook.
We’ve all experienced that cottage with just a hotplate and toaster and barely a few glasses in the cupboards… Not here! Expect complete appliances, utensils that don’t bend at the first cut, and enough counter space to prepare a truly gourmet dinner without getting in each other’s way.
Spacious and well-equipped kitchen
At Hôtel de la Grave, the kitchen is spacious and well-equipped, and above all, the large dining room can accommodate the whole crew without anyone eating standing up!
Spectacular view
At Les Rochers, the windows are positioned so that every chop comes with a spectacular view... Enough to motivate everyone to enjoy the facilities rather than head to a restaurant!
Gas range
At Fenêtre sur Mer, a large gas range worthy of professional chefs awaits you to prepare a feast facing the sea.
Walk-in pantries
At Cap sur Mer, l'Amphithéâtre, and la Coquette des Îles, walk-in pantries that also contain an array of small appliances keep counters clear and Pinterest-ready.
BBQ with ocean view
At l'Escale du Vent, l'Étoile, Les Oyats, and la Tanière des Îles, enjoy a barbecue with an ocean view for a grilled dinner and dine at sunset at a picnic table, typical of the area.
Restaurant-style kitchen
At l'Autre Fumoir, the kitchen is inspired by those of fine restaurants. Equipment is visible and accessible, ready to welcome grand gastronomic ideas.
Large central island
At la Tanière des Îles, the size of the central island is impressive! Large enough for a puzzle to be in progress at all times without disturbing the chefs.
Throughout the seasons, we share recipes on our blog inspired by the Islands’ signature products. You’ll find our favorite method for preparing steamed lobster, our suggestions for a smoked seafood appetizer, and our recipes for tomato and Pied-de-Vent tart, braised lamb shoulder with garlic and herbs, and lobster roll. Enough to extend the flavors of the Islands right onto your plate.
If the kitchen also holds an important place in your vacations, take the time to discover our accommodations. Each property has its own personality, but all have been designed so that cooking is as much a part of the stay as the beaches, landscapes, and long evenings with friends or family.
