The start of the school year. “Boom.” This strong word that evokes both the mix of late summer with the scent of nostalgia that gets us inside and the return to a routine that frankly feels good. A daily framework that straightens everything out, after months of rest and relaxation that were beneficial and necessary, and which inevitably comes with obligatory expenses that choke our already tight wallets.
We would have taken a month more lightness! A month of sunshine and festive meals. We will have it, thanks to the Labonté family, which is inaugurating a menu throughout the month of September in its four beautiful restaurants of the Groupe Dix30 at affordable prices for real.
Kids, let’s go to the restaurant!
You should have seen the faces of my children, whom I trumpeted to appreciate the last days of vacation before an autumn when lunches resume, when impromptu outings will be rare, when we go to bed early, when we empty the fridge in reinventing the leftovers: “Finally, we’re going to the restaurant!” Not too big, but so exciting.
The Theater Cafe
The Director of Organizational Development and Special Projects for the Labonté family, Andréanne Caron-Labonté, made this turnaround possible with the project La retour des chefs. A real godsend for the clientele of one of their four establishments and which allows you to go out to the restaurant with the coconuts without breaking your budget.
The cost reality for restaurateurs is no less difficult than for families, and the experience they offer until the end of the month struck me as surreal. So, let’s talk price concretely. In each of their restaurants, La Tomate Blanche, L’Aurochs Steakhouse-Salle à manger and L’Aurochs Steakhouse-Espace, you can enjoy a three-course family menu for $45. And at the restaurant Le Café du Théâtre Brasserie Française, beware, two courses for $40 for lunch and dinner, a dessert included. And the punch: a selection of vino at half-price. Let it be said, here we are talking.
The White Tomato
Encore SVP, m’man!
We allowed ourselves a tour of the Grand Dukes, where the flavors capsized us. How can I tell you how harvest season is my favorite! I can’t get over the zucchini and tomato cream. I would have taken a dozen mason jars to take out.
As someone who rarely eats meat, I dove into the classic roast beef with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables and mustard sauce hoping not to share my dish. Fail…my kids were eating off my plate. Which didn’t stop them from rolling in the duck tagliatelle with a fair mix of mushrooms and chanterelles, cherry tomatoes, small weights and generous pieces of mozzarella.
We ended up playing the musical plate, our game that lets you taste everyone’s dessert, chocolate cake, chocolate fondant and cheesecake, telling myself that the bill is like it used to be. Let’s take advantage of it.
