Restaurant Chez Milot

This spacious and comfortable early-20th-century home was built by a Mr. Desjardins on Route 11, which was once known as the “Route du Nord” and has since become Valiquette Street. It was the ideal place to raise a large family.

During the Depression, the living room served as an office for the gas station across the street (which has since become a convenience store). Later, Mr. Desjardins occupied only the second floor of the house, and the ground floor became the Sainte-Adèle-en-Bas post office. This sturdy building has served in turn as a daycare center, a home goods store, and, since 1979, a restaurant; first as the “Bistro de la poste,” then the “Café de la poste,” and later “L’Ailloli de la poste,” before becoming “Chez Milot” in October 1985.

Claude Descôteaux, a graduate of the ITHQ, and his wife Carmen McDonald, who had worked in the restaurant industry for 25 years, realized their dream in October 1990 by purchasing this charming restaurant, about which they had said to each other a few years earlier: “One day, we’ll have a restaurant just like this one.” ”

Éric MarinWith over 25 years of experience in the restaurant industry and a 2005 degree from the ITHQ in hospitality and restaurant management, their son, Éric Marin, finally took over as owner in May 2014. Drawing on all his past experiences, Éric took over the family business with great pleasure and enthusiasm—and a wealth of ideas—to carry on the legacy of the restaurant, which will celebrate its 40th anniversary in 2025.
