 Qui dit bonne cuisine, dit nécessairement produits de qualité! Le Café de l’Horloge est fier de vous présenter son nouveau menu composé majoritairement de produits locaux et biologiques de qualité supérieure. En achetant local, on contribue à notre économie régionale mais aussi, on réduit l’empreinte écologique reliée au transport des produits importés. Acheter local assure également la fraîcheur et la qualité des aliments. Souvent, les produits d’ailleurs sont cueillis avant maturité et ne sont pas optimaux lorsqu’ils arrivent dans nos assiettes...ils sont d’ailleurs moins riches en vitamines, en minéraux et en antioxydants. Local ET bio? Ça va de soi! Le Café de l’Horloge prône également l’alimentation biologique. Les produits biologiques sont tout simplement meilleurs au goût! Et tout comme le local, le bio c’est vraiment meilleur pour nous et notre planète. Les produits bios ont une valeur nutritive supérieure et ne contiennent pas d’OGM. De plus, l’agriculture bio n’utilise aucuns produits chimiques, réduit la pollution et le gaspillage d’énergie et protège la biodiversité. Difficile de ne pas encourager une telle initiative… Des bouchées originales et fraîches inspirées des cuisines du monde – La France, l’Inde, l’Argentine, l’Angleterre, le Moyen-Orient –, des produits de qualité incomparable, un service exceptionnel et une ambiance sympa, qu’attendez-vous pour venir déguster notre nouveau menu! Good cuisine naturally means using quality products! The Café de l'Horloge is proud to present its new menu consisting mainly of local and organic products of superior quality.
Buying local food aids our regional economy but also lessens the ecological footprint often produced when importing products. Buying local also ensures the freshness and the quality of food. Imported products are usually picked before maturity and are not optimum when served on our plates ... they are also less rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Local AND bio? It goes without saying! The Café de l'Horloge also promotes organic food. Organic products simply taste better! Just like local products, organic products are truly better for our planet and us. They contain higher levels of certain nutrients and no GMO. In addition, organic farming does not use any chemical products. It also reduces pollution and protects biodiversity. It's hard not to encourage such a healthy way of life. So what are you waiting for? Come discover our delicious new menu consisting of unique and fresh bites inspired by the world's cuisines - France, India, Argentina, England, the Middle East, our exceptional service and our friendly atmosphere!

 Qu'est-ce que le Chai?  What is Chai?
The name “chai” is the Hindi word for “tea”, which originated from the Chinese word “cha”, which means “tea”. So when we say “Chai tea”, we actually say “tea tea”! Chai in Hindi means a mix of spices infused into a warm tea-like beverage. Recipes for Chai vary across the world. However, nowadays, the traditional ingredients of a Chai typically include black tea mixed with spices (cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, ginger, black peppercorns). Chai is usually brewed strong with milk and sweetened with honey or sugar. However, Chai was not always a sweet milky beverage, as we know it today… It is said that the origin of Chai dates back more than 5 000 years ago. One of many legends says that an Indian King developed chai to help heal different ailments…and to stay alert during long court hours!: · Ginger and black pepper stimulate digestion · Cloves and its antiseptic properties help relieve pain · Cardamom is a mood elevator · Cinnamon helps circulation and respiratory function · Star anise freshens the breath As the “healing” Chai gained popularity across India, wide varieties of spices were used to prepare the drink, depending on the region or culture. Surprisingly, original versions of Chai, contained no actual tea leaves. Sugar and milk were also later additions. The British, while ruling India in the 19th century, started cultivating tea to try to reverse the Chinese monopoly on tea supply. It is then that black tea was gradually integrating into the existing Chai and the beginnings of Chai as we know it now occurred. Today, Chai is undisputedly part of Indian culture and of the world. No matter where you are, you can always enjoy the taste and the health benefits of warm sweet Chai. Come taste our delicious Chai at le Café de l’horloge. You will love every sip! Opening every Sunday and Monday starting February 24th! |
