Saint-Éloi Café-Bistro
Following a tip from my wonderful boss, I headed out on a cold rainy Saturday morning after buying a newspaper in search of my next breakfast adventure. The Saint-Éloi is a cozy chalet that is hidden off the shore of Lac Leamay in Hull. I had two eggs sunny side up.. or “mirroir” as they say in french, for the yolky goodness, with bacon, home fries, beans and creton:
That’s the creton in that dish on the top left. I spread it on my toast. Creton is a very Québécois thing.. it’s a pork pâté that is damn yummy.
The view from where I was sitting was remarkable:
After a few attempts to get Google Maps to get the proper location, the best I could find was this. The spot in question is in fact just a bit beyond that point and to the right towards the lake. If you know where the Reno Depot is in Hull, just look for this sign as you approach it:
If you look to right of that sign as you pass it, you will see Le Saint Éloi nestled in there..

I love creton on toast with breakfast…on occasion. I guess creton is a pate but I have always just thought of it as good old tastey pork with lots of fat! Now you can get many different flavours made with different meats. I tried to make it once…Too much work and horrid result.
