Tanière3: A Culinary Leader in Hospitality
In an impressive announcement from North America's 50 Best Restaurants,
Tanière3 has been celebrated as the first recipient of the
Art of Hospitality Award for 2025. Located in Quebec, this exceptional restaurant has captivated diners with its innovative approach to Quebecois cuisine, artistry, and hospitality.
The award, sponsored by Lee Kum Kee, acknowledges
Tanière3's commitment to providing a dining experience that transcends mere fine dining. The ceremony will occur on September 25 in Las Vegas, and the restaurant's recognition comes as part of the much-anticipated yearly event.
An Immersive Culinary Experience
Tanière3 offers a distinctive
10 to 15 course seasonal tasting menu curated by the talented Chef François-Emmanuel Nicols. The menu's design reflects the rich landscape and culinary heritage of Quebec, utilizing primarily locally-sourced and foraged ingredients to enhance the dining experience. The element of surprise is integral, as diners do not see the menu beforehand, allowing each dish to unfold like a story throughout the meal.
The location itself adds a layer of charm to the experience. Housed within the vaulted cellars of the historic
Leber and Charest House, between the iconic St. Lawrence River and bustling Place Royale,
Tanière3 boasts an ambiance that is as crucial to its allure as the inventive dishes served.
This captivating space offers two dining formats: the
Chef's Counter Cellar, which enables direct interaction with Chef Nicols and his culinary team, and the
Dining Room Cellar, which provides a more traditional yet equally immersive setting. These formats not only showcase the gastronomic excellence of the restaurant but also emphasize the personalized service that has become a hallmark of their approach.
Spotlight on Team Dedication
At the helm of
Tanière3 is co-owner and director
