Fast delivery: Ashton, The Hobbit and Binerie Mont-Royal

Fast delivery: Ashton, The Hobbit and Binerie Mont-Royal

In this new edition of Fast Delivery, we'll tell you why it's more expensive to eat at Ashton at night, who is now the Hobbit Chef and where the Binerie Mont-Royal is going.

First, did you know that there were two restaurants of the famous Ashton chain open at night in Quebec City? And do you know why prices change for gourmands who go there in the early hours of the morning? Simply because the company has decided to offer more attractive night bonuses to their employees. So instead of $ 2 an hour, the premium is now at $ 4 an hour ... and the bill is passed on to consumers between midnight and five o'clock. The base salary for a night employee is $ 16.50. According to the leaders, recruitment is expected to improve greatly with this measure.

Also, the institution of the restoration of the Saint-Jean-Baptiste district in Quebec City, the Hobbit, which has seen a drop in traffic for a few years now, will find a new lease of life thanks to its association with David Forbes. This one, formerly at the Ciel! Restaurant, promises gradual changes to the menu. He wants to be present at the reception of the customers and that they feel like at home.

Finally, another institution of the restoration, founded in 1938 in Montreal, Binerie Mont-Royal changes its address. Without losing any of its charm that has made its reputation, or its typical Quebec menu, the Binerie can accommodate 95 people at its new address, four times more than the old. On the menu, there are their famous baked beans, tourtière, dumpling stew, shepherd's pie, hot chicken, poutine ... According to the statistics provided, the restaurant would prepare more than 1500 pounds per week!
