20 Years

À la bonne vôtre

Pascal Allard’s mission in opening the À la Bonne Vôtre restaurant in 2003 was to offer a unique and constantly evolving experience to his clientele using cuisine based on local products, excellent wine, and a warm and intimate atmosphere. The “Terroir et Saveurs du Québec MD” certification along with the “Best of Award of Excellence” mention from Wine Spectator allow us 20 years later to confidently express: Mission accomplished!

60 Years

Le Dauphin

Founded in 1963 by the Milot family, the Hotel and Suites Le Dauphin in Drummondville is celebrating 60 years in 2023. Known for its warm welcome, 121 rooms, 27 meeting rooms, and varied culinary offer, this establishment boasts a strong reputation in Québec. Caroline Milot, the owner, has been working in this company for over 20 years and leads an enthusiastic staff. To keep customers and staff satisfied, over $1 million has been invested in modernizing the kitchen and the GLOBE-TROTTER Restaurant, converting the former bar into a café area and a new restaurant bar.

Resto la Banquise

La Banquise, a small creamery in its early days, was born in May 1968. It quickly transformed into a 24-hour snack bar in the fall of 1968. Initially known for its hot dogs and delicious fries, La Banquise has made poutine (more than 30 varieties) its specialty. La Banquise is still a family business run by the founder’s daughter, Annie Barsalou, and her spouse, Marc Latendresse. La Banquise would like to thank its loyal customers, as well as all its staff, who have made possible this very pleasant adventure that has now lasted for more than 55 years. Thank you!
