It’s THE gastronomic event of the fall season! “Martinique’s gastronomy is a worldly cuisine, the product of a multitude of influences. That’s why, once again this year, Martinique Gourmande is expanding outside of Montréal. Our generous and talented chefs from both Martinique and Québec will tease the senses and make flavours come alive through their four-handed collaborations. A flavourful dialogue between Martinique and Québec, between traditional recipes and culinary innovations,” explains Bénédicte Di Géronimo, President of the Comité Martiniquais du Tourisme.
