In this new fast delivery, we offer you a very varied menu: the favorites of the host Sébastien Benoit, the concerns of the mayor of Sept-Îles on the restoration and the edible flowers which are found on your plate.

Let's start with the restaurants that made Sébastien Benoît salivate during the filming of the 9th season of his show Coups de food, presented on Zeste. Remember that Quebec stars invite Sébastien to discover their favorite restaurants. Everything will be presented this winter.
Here are the favorite places discovered by the host: Théophile wine bar (Promenades St-Bruno), Oregon wine bar (Laval), Flowers and gifts (Montreal), Bar Mamie (Montreal), Kokochi Izakaya (Verdun) , Tonino (Quebec), La Bûche (Quebec), Isle de Garde (Montreal), Kawha Café (Montreal), Ferme Marineau (Laval).

Let's continue with this disturbing portrait that the mayor of Sept-Îles paints on the restaurant industry in his locality. Remember that two restaurants that have been established for a long time in the municipality have decided to close their doors in recent months, among other things due to the shortage of labour.

According to Mayor Steeve Beaupré, the restaurants that manage to keep the lighthouse are those in fast food, including McDonald's and A&W, which can maximize their operations with drive-thru and also improve salaries. "I'm worried, I don't know where we're going. It's not just restaurants where things are going wrong, it's in all areas, "he said, saying that resumes are rare in companies. “When we compare ourselves, we console ourselves, because it is everywhere. »

Let's finish with the opinion of Nathalie Beaudoin, author and herbalist, according to whom edible flowers bring well-being and happiness to the plate! She believes that, as consumers love novelties and local products and as restaurateurs seek edible flowers for their aesthetic and taste values, the cultivation of this product should be promoted and funded on a larger scale. Educational work would also be preferred in order to develop new families of edible flowers. For farmers, being able to cultivate these flowers allows them to diversify income.
