Auberge Saint-Antoine will proudly participate in Food Day Canada, a chef-led national celebration showcasing national and local ingredients and to shine a light on the bounty of the country that contributes to authentic Canadian food. For the occasion, the chefs of Chez Muffy have created a special menu incorporating ingredients from the adjacent Canadian regions available at the restaurant from July 29th to August 1st.
Auberge Saint-Antoine’s four-diamond restaurant, Chez Muffy, takes pride in featuring local innovative cuisine boasting savoury flavours, and this weekend the exclusive menu will also highlight superb ingredients from neighbouring provinces. The three-course meal starts with wild bass from Nova Scotia, caviar from New Brunswick, and asparagus lettuce from the hotel’s garden on Île d’Orléans. This is followed by duckling breast, seared foie gras, duck egg, mixed green salad, cherries from Ontario and finally a freshly Ontario peach roasted with lavender infused honey espuma and ice cream.
