On board our fast delivery vehicle today, we want to talk to you about the Rendez-vous des saveurs de l'Outaouais, a new Peruvian restaurant and Quebec wines. Take a seat and let yourself be guided...

First, for the 23rd time, but after a long 18 month wait, the Rendez-vous des saveurs will be back from October 21 to 24 to showcase Outaouais products. This is a golden opportunity to meet the great chefs of the region as well as sommeliers, restaurants and producers. In fact, the whole region will be honored and energized by this event. Indeed, innovative cross promotions will be implemented with the entire tourism industry and restaurants in the region.

Next, we would like to wish Resto-bar Lima good luck, which will open its doors very soon in the Saint-Sauveur district, in Quebec. This is an establishment specializing in Peruvian dishes, the only one in the National Capital region, including a selection of vegan dishes and the must-have ceviche dish, made with raw fish. Because one of the owners is also a musician, who also performs in many restaurants in the city, we are promised a festive atmosphere. Of course, Latin music artists will perform there.

Finally, we are pleased to learn that Quebec wines are increasingly available in restaurants across the province. Most likely due to the pandemic, Quebecers have been thinking about buying locally and the effect has been the same on sommeliers. The Quebec Wine Council notes an 18% increase in sales during 2020. There are now more delicatessens and restaurants offering Quebec wine. Also because of the pandemic, the dining rooms were closed and the SAQ had some supply problems, causing restaurateurs and sommeliers to reduce the size of their wine list, excluding moreover. import bottles. To replace them, they chose wines from here.
