Here is a quick delivery of a trio of news on the restaurant industry in Quebec City:
First, new establishments opened their doors as the summer hit the corner of the nose, that is to say, at the same time as the beginning of the major tourist season in Quebec City. This is the case of Maison Livernois, which is as much a pub as a distillery. This is the discovery of summer. A place that will appeal to lovers of gins and "comfort food": poutines, burgers or high-end dishes such as duck wings and octopus.
Then, it is via a Facebook publication that the restaurant l'Initiale announced its closing soon. You have until September 28 to enjoy one last time Chef Yvan Lebrun's menu. In operation for nearly 30 years, the chef and his sidekick, Rolande Leclerc, have decided to put an end to their activities, offering themselves a great holiday, even if the last years were the best in terms of sales. The Initiale has long been considered one of the best restaurants in the province.
Finally, the shortage of manpower continues to be talked about in the National Capital. This time, the employees decided to speak and talk about their job that they particularly like. They can not do without the contact with their customers, their atypical schedules, the team spirit that makes shifts very pleasant and the salary is all respectable. For most artists or frequent travelers, this service or kitchen work opens the door to great opportunities. They wanted to put their two cents in the debate that is currently raging on the difficulties to recruit.
