The lamp-lit cobbles of Grande-Allée open like a stage as dusk arrives; the fountain at the meeting point catches the first reflections while the St. Lawrence seems to dare you to linger longer. Guests meet beside the Tourny Fountain and set off with a licensed guide, moving between five intimate stops where each course is served in a different setting—brasserie, bistro, lounge—so the city itself becomes part of the meal.
