With the whole saga that surrounded the spring 2014 Grande Allée sale on the legendary Le Concorde to a Quebec triumvirate, was almost forgotten as the famous revolving restaurant National Capital is now part of Groupe Restos Plaisirs. Excellent reason to bring up your taste buds to ... Heaven!
Before the creation of Heaven! Concorde, Eating Pleasures was six names concepts restaurants: Cochon Dingue, Petit Cochon Dingue, the Lapin Sauté the Café du Monde, the Paris Grill and Jaja The Pizz. A total of ten institutions. When Jacques Gauthier, founder of Groupe Restos Plaisirs, was awarded the management of the former Astral - in addition to all the hotel's kitchens for receptions and banquets - there was no question to offer another Paris Grill or a second World Café. "Because it is a unique concept, this turning-restaurant must have its own identity. We believe this area deserves a distinctive new concept, "says Pierre Moreau, CEO and partner of Groupe Restos Plaisirs.
The Group has therefore set to work. By investing initially $ 1.5 million for the renovation of the premises for both rooms for the revolving restaurant of the mechanism. The Group also took the opportunity to open the ground floor of the hotel a second Jaja The Pizz.

Heaven! Is now a space of 180 seats of which 40 are reserved for a drink. "Because we can come to Heaven! just to enjoy such mind-blowing cocktails that sight! "Said Sylvie Beaulieu, public relations of Tic Tac Marketing and spokesman Groupe Restos Plaisirs.
Draw inspiration from places
Secondly, the group went for "creative and passionate in chief David Forbes, able to draw inspiration from the beauty of the place," says Beaulieu. It came straight from the Bay of La Ferme St-Paul. He also proved to Cercle in Quebec City. Forbes is also chief remained true to certain products Charlevoix, since we find among its main suppliers of organic meat Charlevoix, refining Maurice Dufour house and Laiterie Charlevoix. But it is also associated with the ancestral Ferme de Neuville as well as selected meats Townships.

"With David Forbes, no fried steak" says a little joke Sylvie Beaulieu, but the inspiration of the moment with dishes featuring beef, as scoter or smoked beef cannelloni A ceviche scallops, cucumber and rhubarb or, why not, a roasted lobster tail with Espelette pepper gnocchi.


The lunch menu is also very interesting. It includes dishes like ravioli or parsnips roasted merguez home, accompanied by ratatouille flavored olive juice or a plate of sausage and shrimp rocks, all served with endive, leeks and broccoli. Dishes, which in the medium term can be found in the regular menu depending on the reaction of people.

For dessert ... divine as hell to heaven! By moving the Concorde, Eating Pleasures inherited a complete space designed for baking. This Concorde pastry space now provides all of the restaurants of the group Heaven! obviously. Which could result in your plate including a sparkling rosé, a pink creamy raspberry, lychee and sparkling with sugar, banana cake, alcohol foam runner woods and maple caramel or seasonal pie Strawberry with stewed rhubarb, vanilla cream and balsamic reduction. Who says better ?

Value, Sunday brunch is not to be sniffed at either. There is no question here of a Sunday buffet, but rather a table service.

Oh and a council concluded. Instead of twiddling your thumbs waiting to be served, failing to flirt with the person in front of you, why not look at the walls of Heaven and ponder the many quotes of French and Quebec authors such as those of Sacha Guitry: "Marriage is like the restaurant, barely served one looks at what is in the base of neighbor!
