Situated on Route 105 in Chelsea, Québec, Restaurant Les Fougères has built close to 25 years of critical recognition around a seasonally driven French-Québécois menu. Led by restaurateurs Charles Part and Jennifer Warren-Part, the kitchen works with the seasons to produce dishes built around seafood, duck, grilled beef, and hearth-oven pizzas — a range that suits both lighter post-round appetites and more substantial celebratory dinners.
The setting strikes a balance between elegance and ease. Light woods, a screened-in veranda, and a patio garden give the dining room an airy, country-house feel that reads relaxed rather than formal — appropriate for golfers arriving straight from a nearby course without feeling underdressed.
An attached gourmet boutique adds practical appeal for road-trippers: house-made jams, frozen meat pies, and local specialties make it easy to stock up on regional provisions before moving on. Chelsea sits just north of Gatineau, placing Les Fougères within comfortable reach of the Outaouais region's golf courses and within day-trip distance of Ottawa — a logical dinner stop on any golf loop through western Québec.
