DAY 3 GIVEAWAY – A PASS FOR 2 FOR BALNEA’S THERMAL EXPERIENCE
Balnea’s beautiful site on a pristine lake
Have you ever been to Balnea spa in Bromont? It is one of the most enchanting places in Quebec and the perfect spot to spend a day of R & R. Located on a pristine private lake (one of the cleanest in the province), Balnea has a plethora of treatments that are just magical, from massages to facials, yoga, a water circuit and a great restaurant to boot. Every summer, Balnea organizes L’été des chefs to celebrate local cuisine and local chefs. Ten chefs are chosen to create original dishes for L’été des chefs. Their creations are featured at Balnea over the course of the summer and each chef makes an appearance on site on a specific Sunday. The creations will also be on the menu of each chef’s restaurant until September 3rd.
I was there for the official launch of L’été des chefs yesterday afternoon. This year’s chefs are:
Simon Mathys – Manitoba
Suzy Rainville – Baumann Steakhouse
Hakim Chajar – Miel
Martin Juneau – Pastaga
Kimberly Lallouz – Le restaurant du MAC
Mandy Wolfe – Mandy’s
Stéphanie Audel – LOV
Jean-Paul Aubry – Taverne F by Ferreira
Ross Louangsignotha – Hà
James Baron – Kampai Garden
There are 2 categories of prices to be won:
The Grand prize given to the chef who gathers the most points, the highest number of dishes sold and the highest number given by the public.
The jury’s Coup de cœur prize given to the chef who gathers the highest number of points by the jury.
The prizes are announced at the end of the summer.
There’s also a people’s choice award which you can contribute to and win big! Head to balnea.ca to vote every time you taste a dish and you could win a prize that includes a tasting of the 10 participating dishes, a one-year membership for two to Balnea, 12 massages, a bottle of champagne from Taittinger, a one-year subscription to Dinette Magazine and one of Balnea’s luxurious bathrobes.
Baleen’s lovely site in Bromont
I’m so thrilled to announce that I will be on the jury panel for L’été des chefs this year! I am excited to be spending some time at the spa this summer and to be tasting all of the chef’s delicious creations! I am especially excited to taste creations by Martin Juneau and Simon Mathys and will be there to cheer them on July 9th and July 30th so won’t you join me?
Today’s winner will win a pass for 2 to Balnea’s thermal experience.
