Menu for Special Days
tHE FIRST APPETIZERS
Common Broth... 5,00 $
Every day, our Master Cook presents you with a flavourful broth in accordance with his mood… and whatever leftovers he can put his hands on! There are plenty of good things to be found in it: vegetables, roots, spices, poultry… Always comforting.
Appetizer of the day... 5,25 $
At any time of the day, you can enjoy a small bite to accompany your first course. Simply ask the Innkeeper’s what is available today : delicatessen, smoked fish, or other bite-size treats…
Wendake Salad... 5,75 $
Inspired from a famous salad the Wendake Hurons (near Québec) used to love, this dish is made with corn, beans, string beans, and vegetables, all sautéed and garnished with sunflower seeds.
Hurons’ Sagamite... 6,00 $
Fish broth flavoured with herbs and garnished with small-cut vegetables and game.
The word “Sagamite” comes from an Algonquin noun that means “hot liquid.” Soups are at the basis of all Native American cuisine. Anything can go in them: vegetables, roots, fish, game, in addition to corn, which is always a part of it. We interpret this hearty soup the Huron way, since, in our time, Hurons are the French’s most faithful allies.
Fish Fritters in Hot Oil... 6,50 $
Small, hand-rolled and deep-fried balls made of fishmeat and dough, served with hot-pepper oil. This old recipe harks back to the early days of deep-frying. This sailor’s delight will melt in your mouth.
HORS D'OEUVRES
Deer Country Pâté and its Cider Apple Chutney... 7,75 $
Pâté, rillettes, those are different words used to describe the deli products we so generously spread on a hunk of bread. Our high-quality, homemade pâté is served with a delicious sweet-and-sour marmalade bringing out all of its flavours.
Maple-Glazed Smoked Salmon with Garlic Flower Coulis... 9,25 $
The traditional “Indian candy” of Western savages! The salmon is smoked in thick filets glazed with maple syrup, pepper and herbs. We have set a few strips aside for you, served with a delicate sauce flavoured with garlic flower, herbs and white wine.
Gooseberry Salmon Tartar... 9,25 $
A fresh, roughly minced salmon filet marinated in olive oil, gooseberry, Guerande salt and citrus fruits. The acidic taste of the citrus fruits highlights the delicate flavour of the salmon. Fresh fish lovers will find this tartar to be a revelation.
Pannequet of Cumin Oyster Mushrooms and White Mushrooms... 9,50 $
A pannequet is a kind of thin crêpe slightly similar to a pasta. We put in it a blend of oyster mushrooms and white mushrooms in a creamy cumin sauce. A treat smelling of the New France undergrowth.
Meats of the Savage People... 10,75 $
Slowly macerated and dried beef accompanied with an onion & fine mustard confit.
The American Indians were experienced travellers; they used to smoke and dry their meat in order to preserve it longer. The European fur traders who embarked on hunting expeditions quickly learned to master the technique and art of sun-drying or fire-drying.
Fried Smelts with their Citrus Sauce
Lightly floured, they are simply fried in butter in a cast iron pan, and served as is with a citrus sauce. Our Master Cook is undoubtedly spoiling fish lovers. Fried smelts are known to be very dangerous, because it is so difficult to stop eating them! Just try to resist!
The Small Catch 9,00 $
The Miraculous Draught 18,00 $
