A fourth season for this popular serie!
Our sweet little concert series has been a big success! Au bistro des découvertes, as the name implies, is a place for discoveries in music, but also just a nice place to spend an evening. Our audience feedback tells us that this series has a uniquely personal and relaxed vibe that keeps them coming back.
The secret to this special ambiance? It’s the special camaraderie among musicians. The formula is as follows: a well-known figure in Francophone musical circles invites us to meet a lesser-known, yet highly talented musical acquaintance. A high-school friend. A rising star. A talented back-up band member. A dream-come-true stage partner. One thing is sure: it will be a memorable encounter.
Along with their musical recommendations, the host artists also share their food preferences by composing the evening’s meal menu. Their chosen dish and drinks evoke memories of travel and family gatherings or their go-to comfort food. Even the recorded music in the background during the meal is the host artist’s playlist. The overall effect is a special impression, as if we’ve been invited into a star’s inner circle.
Au bistro des découvertes, over the course of three seasons, we’ve welcomed the likes of Robert Paquette, Breen LeBoeuf, Stef Paquette, Patricia Cano, Dayv Poulin, Ed Landry, Cécile Doo-Kingué, Simon Jutras and many more, including the series’ creator himself, Dan Bédard, in the company of their invited musical guests.
Discover our host artist’s favorite meal from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., followed by the show from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
On the menu: A tartiflette just like they make it in France, served with an arugula salad to balance it out.
*Note: Mama G draws inspiration from meals made with local, seasonal ingredients to awaken your taste buds.
**Meals by reservation only. For those who wish to enhance their evening experience by sharing the dinner, it must be reserved in advance, no later than the Thursday before the event. No orders can be taken on site. Thank you for your understanding. If you have already reserved your meal, there is no need to contact us. Your reservation has already been recorded.**
