Sabayon

The chef has taken an atypical route to this kitchen, having trained in pâtisserie before turning his hand to cooking. Patrice Demers creates vivid, accessible, and unpretentious dishes that allow the Québec terroir to shine. Working in partnership with the province's best producers, he elevates each ingredient with formidable precision. Fruit and vegetables reign supreme, especially in summer, when the menu is almost entirely meat-free. His signature dish is wood fire-grilled mushrooms, topped with a delicate, crispy arlette and accompanied by a bay leaf and juniper-infused sabayon. But dessert remains also one of the chef's main strengths. Add to that the smooth and elegant service orchestrated by Marie-José Beaudoin but bear in mind that getting a table here is no mean feat! Every month, slots made available for bookings are snapped up within seconds.
