Montreal completely cider
For his 2e edition, the Soif de cidre Montréal event invites Quebec cider lovers to Hangar 1825, a historic site on the banks of the Lachine Canal, from July 28 to 30. About thirty cider houses will be present on site, such as the popular Intrus, Choinière and Le somnambule. In addition to great encounters with producers, several food counters will offer nice dishes that go perfectly with local ciders. Let’s think of the unmissable Au Pied de Cochon, the Lobster Box, as well as the Provençal pastry Marius et Fanny. In order to entertain the whole family, a playground and relaxation area is provided. It is therefore the perfect place to enjoy your meal, your favorite ciders and fully enjoy the event. The ticket price per adult is $18.70, including a reusable cup and 10 coupons. Passes for the whole weekend are also available.

Extra X Menu Experience Domaine du Nival
Country tables are popular all over Quebec. Sometimes casually, sometimes in a white tablecloth version on picnic tables, the offers are particularly numerous this summer. The Menu Extra brigade, led by chefs Francis Blais and Camilo Lapointe-Nascimento, is offering a series of highly gastronomic dinners at the Domaine du Nival, from July 27 to 30. Each exceptional evening takes place over 12 services arranged with the best cuvées from the Saint-Louis vineyard in Montérégie. A visit to the vineyards with winegrowers Matthieu Beauchemin and Fannie Boulanger is also on the program before sitting down to eat. $400 per person for the tasting menu and wine pairing. Mandatory reservation. The evenings of July 28 and 29 are already sold out.

Summer ramen
It’s not just gazpacho that’s a good summer soup. The Kinton Ramen restaurants, one of which is on Mont-Royal Avenue East, have added special summer creations to their menu, perfect for ramen lovers even in the heat wave. We find among others the cold Tsukemen, thick and cold noodles garnished with oil and sesame seeds, pork shoulder, a seasoned egg and grated nori, all accompanied by a homemade dip, daikon, wasabi and shallots. For vegetarians, there’s the Yuzu Tofu Sunshine Bowl, made with cold no-broth noodles, yuzu vinaigrette, crispy refried green beans, amago onsen, arugula, edamame, sweet corn, seaweed, pickled red ginger and a little spicy Japanese mustard. The summer menu is offered until September 3.
