The Confiturerie Tigidou, located in the historic F.X. Lachance boat workshop in Saint-Laurent-de-l’Île-d’Orléans, produces artisanal jams with local blackcurrants and other seasonal fruits. Their small café and boutique offer a range of products, including less sugary, all-natural spreads, and simple refreshments. Visitors can enjoy the space’s scenic views of the St. Lawrence River while sampling items like coffee or light snacks.
Tigidou’s production follows a farm-to-jar model, using fruits grown on the island and emphasizing sustainable methods. The facility includes a modern kitchen while preserving traditional techniques. The café and boutique serve as a rest stop for those exploring the village, with parking and a riverside picnic area nearby.
