Refined Cuisine - Le Hatley Restaurant at Manoir Hovey reflects the chef's passion for the region's history, abundance, and natural beauty. Inspired by his Franco-Canadian roots, chef Alexandre Vachon offers refined cuisine inspired by nature that pays homage to his origins, the land, and the region's producers. As stated by the Chef - ''The origin of the products is important. We are curious. We are gatherers cultivated from seeds, have a relationship with the producers and the land. We are respectful and patient. We sublimate nature to serve it at your table. The quality of the products is an integral part of the recipe. '' Chef Alexandre Vachon's culinary philosophy celebrates the profusion of ingredients found in the rivers, lakes, forests, and fields of the region''.
Spring: from the tree to the table. ''Birch'' - The abundance of birch trees at Manoir Hovey makes it ideal for birch syrup and vinegar production. The Hatley is probably the only restaurant in Canada that engages in this practice. Showcasing the abundance of Quebec's province, cultivating, picking, selecting only what is necessary, working closely with local farms and producers, a meal at Hatley is a true culinary experience. Being part of a sustainable approach is daily attention paid by the Chef and his team. The menus are composed of strict and passionate respect for what each season offers, leaving the smallest possible imprint on the environment.
