“Today is Quebec buy local day. I want to congratulate Auberge Saint-Mathieu and chef Samy Benabed in my riding for winning awards from the Michelin Guide for their local food.”
“Mr. Speaker, June 12 is Quebec buy local day. To celebrate, I invite my colleagues to treat themselves to an unforgettable getaway at Auberge Saint-Mathieu, an inn in Saint-Mathieu-du-Parc that is renowned for its superlative cuisine. After earning a green star from the famous Michelin Guide last year, this exceptional establishment was honoured once again this year with its first Michelin red star. These prestigious accolades recognize not only culinary excellence and refined flavours, but also this idyllic resort’s deep commitment to sustainable gastronomy. At this country inn nestled in a picture-perfect forest, chef Samy Benabed, who also won the Michelin Guide Quebec 2026 Young Chef Award, crafts locally sourced cuisine, harmoniously blending smoky barbecue aromas with Quebec spices and citrus fruits. Congratulations to the entire team on this inspiring blend of flavours, local ingredients, and respect for the environment.”
