laurie raphaël celebrates Journée des terroirs / Food Day Canada

Canadians can pride themselves with being among the best growers of mustard. Much of our seed is harvested on the Prairies, ground into “mustard flour” in Saskatchewan and Ontario then shipped to France from where we love to buy it back, paying infinitely more than the value of the seed in the jar.

When I first met Chef Daniel Vézina he had just opened his restaurant and named it after his two his two children, Laurie and Raphaël. Even then, in the 1980s, he was starting to set up micro supply networks so tiny that he was having an Italian gardener grow his tomatoes. Since then he has become one of Quebec’s most well-known culinary personalities but, no matter what fame, Chef Vézina has always honoured the ingredients of Quebec City and its neighbouring regions…the Charlevoix, Bas St Laurent, L’Estrie, Montregie, Kamouraska and the Gaspesie and from time to time you’ll see fish and shellfish from Atlantic Canada like P.E.I.’s perfect Raspberry Point oysters which he serves with a fresh cucumber and mirin jelly. He is a brilliant chef in any language.

He offers diners a chance to discover the Made in Quebec experience from the decor to the food and, at times when he’s not taping his popular television show, personally offers private cooking classes.

The Boutique is a showcase for our products and Québec artisans. It is possible for our customers to get a wide variety of products from Québec, as well as various articles designed for him by local artists and a number of house-made delicacies.

A word from Daniel on Food Day Canada / Journée des terroirs. “These menus are my personal tribute to Quebec’s homegrown producers who make me proud to call myself a “Quebec chef.”
