Le Cafetier

Eastern Townships


Locals flock to this cute, cheery cafe in the heart of Sutton for morning coffee, croissants, smoothies, omelets and homemade muesli, but it's just as popular in the afternoon for salads, vegetarian chili, panini and croque monsieurs. Wine and beer, free wi-fi, decks of playing cards and toys for the kids encourage people of all ages to linger.
