Attention gourmets! The Institut de Tourisme et d’hôtellerie du Québec (ITHQ) is offering a very special evening menu these days until May 26: dishes created by Samuel Sirois, the chef to whom we owe Canada’s 11th place in the Bocuse d’Or 2023 , the most prestigious culinary competition in the world, held in Lyon last January.
Posted yesterday at 5pm
Samuel Sirois, also a professor at ITHQ, offers here (and with the help of the graduates in the kitchen) dishes inspired by those offered to international judges in the competition.
To whet your appetite, think of: monkfish liver parfait, celery, lovage oil or why not royale shellfish, bean stew, phytoplankton croutons. The veggies aren’t left out with the quinoa squash and tofu cream risotto.
Note that Samuel Sirois, entering the competition for the 18th time, finished second in the continental finals in Santiago, Chile last July.
The dishes on the menu are also inspired by these two competitions (Lyon and Santiago). Two options are offered: a tasting menu ($82) or a la carte dishes (starting at $14 for appetizers, $25 for entrees).
