Fast Delivery: A new Smith House, Trois-Rivières and the Eastern Townships ready for summer

Here is a quick delivery of a trio of news about Quebec's restaurant industry:

Maison Smith has just inaugurated its brand new sixth branch, located in the Montcalm district of Quebec City. Chef Christophe Moniquet, master roaster Alexandre Arce-Moreau and owner Jerome Turgeon are ready to welcome you. Homemade dishes are in the spotlight, as is quality coffee, which is well known in the region.

Considered a top spot among Quebec's tourism hubs, the city of Trois-Rivières is relying on the summer of 2019 to increase the number of visitors. In fact, for a third year, the directors appointed Christine Beaulieu, an actress from Trois-Rivières, as ambassador. The latter considers that her city is more than a stop between Montreal and Quebec, "she has become a must". It must be said that restaurants in the city center offer a very attractive menu, a significant element when it comes to attracting visitors.

Finally, the Eastern Townships region does not want to miss the tourist summer 2019. A new gourmet circuit for cheese lovers, Cheese Heads, was set up to discover the treasures hidden from the region. A total of 14 cheese factories are grouping together and showcasing their products. A paper map or digital version can quickly prepare the route to follow. This is a gourmet attraction that will please many visitors.
