The Montreal Airport Marriott In-Terminal Hotel Welcomes a New Year and a New Chef

DORVAL, QC--(Marketwired - Dec 19, 2014) - Visitors arriving at the Montreal Airport Marriott In-Terminal Hotel will marvel at its design, which is as sleekly beautiful as the jets flying overhead. They will enjoy the convenience of its location within the Montreal Trudeau Airport. And now, with the arrival of Chef Legris at the hotel's Bijou Resto | Bar, they will savour every minute of their stay, whether they're dining on Breton crêpes in the morning, or feasting on a festive dinner on New Year's Eve.

Chef Legris arrived at this Montreal airport restaurant after spending more than 20 years in illustrious kitchens around Canada. While destinations like Restaurant Laloux and Express in Montreal appear on Chef Legris' resume, it was his time at C Restaurant with Chef Robert Clark that helped him hone his passion for honouring the integrity of his ingredients even as he transforms them into something deliciously innovative.

Today, guests of the Bijou restaurant in Montreal can taste that passion for themselves. Chef Legris prides himself on infusing each dish with excitement. Yet practicality also appears in the all-important inventory of ingredients: Chef Legris makes a point of using as much fresh produce from local suppliers as possible.

This approach resonates with Bijou, which has earned a reputation as one of Montreal's best restaurants largely thanks to its emphasis on fresh, local and creative cuisine. Organic produce and sustainable, natural meats get transformed into salads, steaks, sandwiches and entreés like halibut served with celery root and apple pureé or a half-roasted Cornish hen served with wild mushrooms and grape confit. And no matter what's on the plate, guests can look forward to savouring it within a stylish, modern dining room outfitted with hardwood floors and elegantly contemporary light fixtures.

While this Dorval restaurant serves three meals a day, as well as a convenient 5-10-20-Minute menu at the bar, guests looking for an unforgettable taste of Chef Legris' culinary prowess should book a reservation for New Year's Eve. For just $55 per person (excluding tax and gratuities), celebrants will indulge in a lavish buffet dinner between 6 and 10:30 p.m. Between the bites, the ambience and the evening's four-hour complimentary parking, the event promises to ring in the New Year with plenty of good taste.

To make reservations for the New Year's Eve event, patrons can call 1-514-828-5117.
