I am delighted to present the first edition of the new Gourmet Pleasures section. This new section coincides with the relaunch of TremblantRestaurants.ca, the home for all things delectable in Mont Tremblant and beyond. Between the two, you’ll find everything you need to make the most of Tremblant’s vibrant and eclectic food scene.

Dining out? Then sink your teeth into in-depth restaurant profiles of the establishments that have become our gastronomic flag bearers… as well as the new kids on the block who continue to surprise and excite with inventive menus and experiences. We’ll present their showstopper dishes along with the chefs’ personal recommendations for a memorable meal.

Cooking at home with friends? Then you’ll love our recipe of the month featuring local seasonal products – or secure your bragging rights in the kitchen by replicating the signature dish of one of our local chefs.

The array of excellent specialty shops, markets, artisanal cafés and bakeries that have sprung up in recent years means you’ll never be short of variety. We’ll help you navigate this lineup with our “where to shop” suggestions so you can obtain the ingredients to create your own culinary masterpieces and transform your table into a work of art.

By now you are probably thirsting for the latest wine recommendations from our resident wine- world-simplifier Franck Lizotte. He will expertly guide you to the perfect pairings to suit any menu or budget.

Or perhaps all you want after a day on the slopes is a liquid treat from our famous après-ski scene. From creative concoctions served up by skilled mixologists to a frosty pint of craft beer, your elixir awaits… with a side of live music or lively fire-side chats. We’ll keep you up to date on the freshest offerings.

We can’t wait to share all this and more with you in future issues. Come back every month if you don’t want to miss a single taste.
