Auberge Ripplecove: Summer Lunch in Bistro Le Cove

 

Perched on the shores of Lake Massawippi, the Ripplecove Hotel & Spa is a haven of peace and tranquility in Quebec’s Eastern Townships, and has come a long way since its entertained fishermen and hunters on 11 acres of wooded land. History is, however, still alive in the modern hotel’s Scottish-inspired lounge, virtually untouched for decades, which has an intricately carved sideboard adorned with hunting and fishing motifs that are a tribute to the region’s heritage. highlighted in Ripplecove's Bistro Le Cove where we arrived for lunch with dear friends.
