As the new owners of Auberge Caribou, a comfortable lodge on Tremblant's North Side, they have found yet another way to entertain guests. The location couldn't be prettier or more peaceful. Caribou is built on the shores of Lac Superieur. Auberge Caribou has 14 rooms, all with pine paneling, refurbished furniture and new comforters on the beds. The look is spare and rustic, but it's clean and comfortable.
Most rooms have one double bed and some have two.
One highlight of Caribou, new as of September, is the Restaurant Zinnia, an incongruously contemporary, soignee dining room in an otherwise folksy setting. Chef Pier Cousineau, formerly of the fancy French restaurant Aux Truffes at Tremblant's South Side base, presides at Zinnia. That means we cook with lots of juices, herbs and infusions and we're known for our sauces. The dining room looks rustic because of the log walls, but there's a Zen quality with white tablecloths and simple lighting. Zinnia also does breakfast.
