Canada's best new restaurant of 2017 is a small Italian diner in Quebec City staffed by just four people who churn out "magical meals" in 400 square feet.
In enRoute magazine's Best New Restaurants list, Battuto was declared the country's best new dining destination of 2017, a list that aims to highlight restaurants that "stand out for quality ingredients, smart service, stunning locations and chefs with a vision."
"...the stuff that great meals, and great memories, are made of," editors write.
EnRoute magazine is the in-flight magazine for Air Canada.
At Battuto, diners sidle up to the counter where they can watch their meal being prepared in the open kitchen by chefs Guillaume St-Pierre and Paul Croteau.
Meals are described as simple in their excellence, be it bowls of silky lobster bisque, crostini topped with figs and balsamic reduction, stuffed quail served with cremini mushroom duxelle and wilted spinach, or charcuterie platters featuring local Charlevoix pork.
