Québec City at the Olympic Games |
|
|
|
A few days before the end of the Olympic Games in Vancouver, the typically Quebec dishes created by Maison du Québec’s official caterer, George V, were quickly snapped up. Hôtel Château Laurier Québec’s banquet and catering service was a huge hit with visitors!
Emergency orders had to be placed and several additional local ingredients had to be shipped from Quebec to meet demand. Quebec cheeses, meat pies, ham croissants, maple dishes. all were in great demand.
This magical experience gave thousands of people from around the world an opportunity to discover or rediscover foods typical of Quebec.
Congratulations to our athletes from the Québec City area!
