Traditional Quebec Cuisine Dressed Up for Your Event

Traditional Quebec cuisine for your event

What does traditional Quebec cuisine evoke for you? Perhaps certain comforting scents that marked your childhood. Or maybe warm meals animated by family discussions and laughter.

Some homemade dishes span generations, while certain culinary traditions never fade. La Distinction enables you to create family, business, or even friendly events while sharing a meal that celebrates local flavors.

It’s an invitation to savor the region with elegance. Here’s how the magic happens.

At La Distinction, we have chosen to showcase this richness in a catering menu inspired by those who keep the land alive. An invitation to discover Lanaudière.

Comforting and Gathering Classics

Dishes derived from Quebec’s traditions have the unique ability to bring people together around a table. This is even truer when they’re crafted with local products and exceptional culinary expertise.

Among the favorites from the hot buffet is the Osso Buco pork with maple syrup from St-Thomas and soy—a perfect blend of softness and character. For dessert, the classic cheesecake crumble with berry coulis or apple crisp with caramel evoke the comfort of a family meal.

Brunch and Breakfast Honoring Tradition

Are you hosting a morning wedding or an inspiring corporate event? The brunch or breakfast menus brighten up the first meal of the day with freshness. Savor the pancakes with St-Thomas maple syrup, baked beans, roasted potatoes, bacon, sausages, and chef-prepared omelets. A true homemade meal, carefully prepared, for a moment of simple and generous sharing.

Entrées and Sides that Tell Our Story

Banquets are the perfect opportunity to combine finesse with a deep connection to local flavors. Notably featured is the regional cheese fondue with Blanche beer from L’Alchimiste, a nod to Quebec’s brewing products.

In the lunch boxes from the Taste Lanaudière menu, the homemade coleslaw finds its place as an homage to simple, savory meals. A small delight served with the signature touch of a high-end caterer.

A Station-Based Cuisine Reinventing Classics

Stations and platters turn every moment into a convivial tasting experience. Among the favorites:

  • Mini-beef burgers inspired by the traditional Quebec burger
  • High-end grilled cheese with caramelized onions
  • Classic or deluxe poutine bar (a must!)
  • Campfire with marshmallows for an unforgettable evening ambiance
  • Even a raclette station, comforting as ever

These options are perfect for creating a warm yet gourmet atmosphere, where everyone can taste and share.

The Chef’s Vision and Inspiration

For our chef, traditional Quebec cuisine is a foundation, not a limit. Their dishes tell a story by reinventing classics. Transforming pea soup, burgers, coleslaw, or apple crisp also respects the roots of our gastronomy while elevating them to the highest rank.

Even during the holiday season, your business meetings or gatherings with friends and family center around turkey and meat pie meals. The perfect excuse to step out of the ordinary, create a magical event in a delightful setting, and dedicate your time to your guests rather than to cooking.
