This is a successful takeoff for the adventure of the Boeing 737, even though it is grounded near the Quebec City airport. Indeed, in the last few days, the event site named Le 737 has been officially opened to the public. It is a real 737 plane perched seven feet in the air that will accommodate three restaurants and promises to live entertainment.
On the menu of restaurants that accepted the challenge, note that La Cage will test its new Los Tacos concept there and that the Chez Mag snack bar, known as the ultimate fine canteen on the Île d'Orléans for 60 years, is getting closer. amateurs. It will therefore be possible to discover their famous lobster poutine, the lobster roll or their gourmet burger.
Favorite Chocolates is also present and ensures the sweet side.
At the moment, however, it is not possible to visit the plane, but everything is scheduled for September. It is that stairs must always be built there to allow access.
Thus, it is possible to order meals and sit on the "runway" of the Boeing 737, where tables and chairs are at your disposal on a tarmac with markings on the ground and lights, well installed under umbrellas or wings of the plane.
As soon as it is possible to board the plane, we are promised the arrival of a restaurant with and about fifty seats inside. A historical course on aviation in Quebec, presented in audio and multimedia, and a flight simulator will also be available.
Until then, shows are still being held there, about four a week, until the beginning of September.
It cost about $ 2 million to set up the site and see the aircraft by land. The site can normally accommodate around 700 people at a time, but capacity is currently reduced to around 500 people due to the pandemic.
