Fast delivery: new in Chicoutimi, anniversary for La Chambre and a family story

For this quick delivery, we invite you to discover the new Buvette Chez Arthur, recently opened in Chicoutimi, to celebrate the tenth anniversary of La Chambre and, at the same time, to discover their new spokesperson, and to finally let yourself be seduced by this family history to Trois-Rivières.

Let's start with this new restaurant, la Buvette chez Arthur, led by chef Maxime Leclerc, Agathe Gaudreault and Paul Champoux, and opened in downtown Chicoutimi at the location previously operated by Baron BBQ. The establishment promises a gastronomic experience combining regional flavors, conviviality and creativity.

Maxime Leclerc, former chef-owner at Hopera, made his dream come true by creating this restaurant, with the support of Agathe Gaudreault and Paul Champoux. The menu highlights regional products and revisits culinary classics, offering sharing dishes, appetizers and starters that will vary according to the seasons and supply. The restaurant offers an interactive experience by allowing customers to see the dishes prepared by the chef and his team.

The establishment will be open from Thursday to Saturday for evening meals, with a monthly brunch option in the future, as well as the possibility for businesses to reserve the place at lunchtime.

Let's continue with the celebrations of the tenth anniversary of La Chambre - Microbrasserie Sportive, which took the opportunity to announce a partnership with Montreal Canadiens defenseman Arber Xhekaj. He becomes the new ambassador of the channel. In honor of this collaboration, La Chambre has created a new smash burger called “Le Shérif”, available in its five restaurants since October 18. The burger's advertising campaign will include videos featuring Arber Xhekaj and La Chambre throughout the season. One dollar from each sale of “The Sheriff” will be donated to two foundations selected by the player: Angel Project, based in Ontario, and Vision Inter-Cultures, based on the South Shore of Montreal, which respectively support patients in complex care and immigrant families. Arber Xhekaj is proud to be the ambassador of La Chambre and to be committed to the community.

Let’s end with the story of Shawn Côté, 22 years old, who is co-owner of Binerie Chik in Trois-Rivières with his mother, Valérie Côté. They had no prior restaurant experience. The duo recently moved their restaurant to a new location, transforming an old diner into a 1950s "Diner" style establishment. Despite their lack of experience, they work hard to succeed and faced challenges in the beginning. of their restaurant adventure. They share the responsibilities of head chef and complement each other. They see their restaurant as a second home and are determined to succeed. Despite the difficulties, they are proud of what they have accomplished. A place to discover and people to encourage!
