"Where are we going to eat tonight?" Finding the answer to this question can be difficult, whether for a couple outing or a date with friends. Entrepreneurs and restaurateurs have understood that this debate can be easily resolved by bringing together a diverse food supply in the same place. From there was born the food fair. A concept which, as we will see, is developing more and more in Quebec.
Food fairs are already popular internationally, but now large sums will be invested in Quebec over the next few months to create new ones.
This is the case in Quebec where $ 24 million is being extended to create the Le District Gourmet gourmet hall directly in the future QG complex in Ste-Foy. Under this roof, there will be condos, restaurants and health care.
Also in Quebec, the Galeries de la Capitale inaugurated their Galeries Gourmandes this fall.
In Montreal, two new gastronomic areas are already in operation, the Time Out Market and the Central. A third will be launched at Place Ville-Marie, the Cathcart, which is part of an investment of more than $ 1 billion on the part of Ivanhoé Cambridge. The eco-responsible approach has not been overlooked, since the containers will be recyclable and compostable. Also, free water charging stations will be available everywhere on the site
Regarding the gastronomic offer, these fairs offer as many restaurants with service as lunch counters or ready-to-eat. It is not uncommon to find a wine bar, a tapas bar, a pastry shop and a bakery, a fire place and of course a microbrewery in the same place.
"So where are we going to eat tonight?" "Asking the question has never been easier to answer!
