Chic creativity takes flight at Hélicoptère.
ABOUT THIS VISA INFINITE DINING SERIES IN-PERSON EXPERIENCE
One of Montreal’s favourite gourmet destinations, Hélicoptère, is known for beautiful presentation and inventive flavour combinations. Middle Eastern spices thrill through carrots and lamb. Haskaps and almonds play sweetly with chicken liver mousse. Housemade ham and sage butter add earthy delight to squash. At this multi-course dinner, Executive Chef David Ollu will tantalize the palate with creative confections that hit the sweet spot between chic and cosy, while Sommelier and Co-Founder Youri Bussières-Fournel pairs Chef’s beautifully original dishes with inventive cocktails and exciting natural wines. Both previously worked together at Bouillon Bilk and bring prodigious skill and talent to these tables. Lesley Chesterman, the long-time Montreal Gazette restaurant critic, will emcee the event.
ABOUT HÉLICOPTÈRE
The name Hélicoptère was inspired by the seeds that fall from the maple tree in autumn and, to the owners of the restaurant, represent everything that is quintessentially Quebec. David Ollu is the Executive Chef and Owner of Hélicoptère, his first independent restaurant and is joined in the kitchen by his Chef
de Cuisine, Marianne Lafleur. After graduating from the Quebec Institute of Tourism and Hospitality in 2012, he worked alongside Chef François Nadon at that elegant temple to haute cuisine, Bouillon Bilk. Hélicoptère has since consistently perched atop the Eater and TimeOut lists of best restaurants in Montreal.
TASTY FACT
Financiers are little rectangular almond cakes that are flavoured with brown butter and have a wonderfully chewy texture inside a crisp exterior. The name “financier” comes from their shape, which is thought to resemble gold bars.
