the magazine On the roadAir Canada, backed by Air Canada, has announced the return of its top 10 popular new Canadian restaurants, which have been suspended during the pandemic.

This week the airline revealed 30 coast-to-coast finalists who could dream of shortlisting winners and perhaps even crowning themselves at the top.
It was an anonymous gastronomical critic who traveled across the country to savor the creations of the new establishments from all walks of life – which were open between the end of Spring 2021 and May 31, 2022 – that defined those in the race.

Montreal cut a great character there with five quotes: Mastard, Pichai, J’ai Feng, Gia Vin & Grill, and Mokili. In addition, for the province of Quebec, there is the table champion Parcelles in Austin, as well as Le Clan and the restaurant Alentours in Quebec. The top ten will be revealed on November 1, at a gala in Toronto.
