It isn’t everyday that you stop for a bite in an unknown place and fall upon a gem. Resto Caprice, located just outside of Quebec City in Saint-Augustine-de-Demaures, seems to be in the middle of nowhere, but is obviously close enough to civilization to have that je-ne-sais-quoi of fine cuisine.

Crispy Onion Chicken – It’s all about the mix
