Fast delivery: An opening, success and a fundamental question!

Fast delivery: An opening, success and a fundamental question!

In this new edition of Fast Delivery, we will highlight the opening of a new restaurant and the successes of a small chain and also ask ourselves a fundamental question. Will we find the answer?

First, Madame Chose opened its doors in the Galeries Gourmandes at the Galeries de la Capitale and offers an innovative concept to visitors thanks to the immersive and evolving decor. The creators use multimedia and lighting to modify the decor of the restaurant according to the time of day. In a way, it is an attraction in itself: people have to cross a path to get to the clearing, a place full of life, or even in the garden, a quieter area for business meetings or romantic meals. L'Oree and l'Etang are two bars that will offer cocktails and different atmospheres. An investment of $ 3.5 million was required

The Galette Libanaise has just officially opened a fifth restaurant in the Quebec City region and will soon be tackling another major project: franchises. A very interesting success for the two founders, the brothers Tony and Dory Tannous, who opened their first restaurant in 2012. The clientele quickly became addicted to their cuisine and other establishments opened. On the menu, the restaurant serves pancakes cooked in a stone oven according to the traditional method and seasoned your way.

Finally, what exactly expression should we use to define a restaurant that offers a meatless menu? Should we say vegan, vegetarian, 100% vegetable, with vegetable protein, made with plants or is there another formulation? According to a survey of 1,000 Quebecers, it is indeed "100% vegetable" as well as "vegetarian" who speak the most to customers. This is what is said. Now is the time to drop the other expressions.
