MONTREAL, QC, January 7, 2009 – Back by popular demand, the second annual Happening Gourmand will run January 12 to 31, 2009. Inspired by New York’s famed Restaurant Week, Happening Gourmand offers restaurantgoers the chance to enjoy $17, $22 or $27 prix-fixe dinners at eight diverse establishments throughout Old Montreal. Additional details and restaurant menus are available at www.happeninggourmand.com. “Response to the first Happening Gourmand was so overwhelming, we decided to extend the second edition by an extra week,” said Dimitri Antonopoulos, Vice President of Marketing, Hotels and Restaurant Development for the Antonopoulos Group. “And as guests save more than 40 per cent off the bill, now is the perfect time to explore some of Old Montreal’s exceptional trendy and fine dining options.” For three weeks in January, diners may take advantage of $17 dinner menus at Galianos, Narcisse Bistro + Bar à vin, and Suite 701; $22 menus at Méchant Boeuf Bar & Brasserie, Modavie Restaurant Wine Bar and the Restaurant du Vieux-Port Steakhouse; and $27 menus at Aix Cuisine du Terroir and Verses Restaurant. The tempting three-course menus will showcase the specialties of each restaurant—from Roasted Quebec Duck Breast or Beef Bavette with Bordelais Sauce to Striped Bass with Lemon Sauce or Deer Spare Rib with Barley Risotto. Menus will feature a choice of at least two entrées, three main courses and two desserts. Beverages, taxes and gratuities are extra. Reservations are strongly recommended.
