Since its opening in 2019, Bleu Marine has slipped into the list of welcoming addresses where it is good to drink in Quebec. Located in the effervescence of the Saint-Jean-Baptiste district, the restaurant, which is located on Saint-Jean Street, is the gourmet project of two experienced sommeliers, which offers an exemplary wine list that perfectly matches the flavors of a menu evolving with the seasons. Yann, who studied at the late Panache at Auberge Saint-Antoine before moving to the Saint-Amour restaurant then to the Ritz-Carlton, can count on the versatility of his partner Claudine, who trained at the University of wine of Suze-la-Rousse in France and also accumulating the great addresses in its course. Since the unexpected circumstances of 2020, the latter has temporarily put aside the sommelier to take over the stoves of the restaurant, to the delight of foodies in the Capitale-Nationale.
