Atelier Tony was superb by specially preparing a menu to mark World Chaîne Day with a hearty nine-course meal making a feature of local products.

Dressed to the nines, nearly 40 members and guests were on hand to take part in this gastronomic feast. In order to immerse themselves in the 2022 theme of “green in all its forms”, green was in the spotlight. The kitchen team was masterful with colourful dishes with variations of emerald shades. Faithful to the theme Chance, Hope, Vitality and Ecology, this dinner was a real hymn to the Earth, which was also highlighted 48 hours earlier on World Earth Day.

Dishes comparable to works of art on a plate were not only a spectacle for the eyes they also delighted our taste buds.

The evening could not have ended on a better note than with a sweet touch of maple. The province of New Brunswick is rich with this golden treasure of the spring flow of the symbol of our country. The New Brunswick Maple Syrup Association was happy to contribute to this evening.
