MONTREAL — Bistrot has opened two locations at Montréal–Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport. Featuring fresh-made pasta using locally sourced flour, a juice bar, baked goods and espresso, the new Bistrot locations can be found at the airport’s post-security departures area near Gates 48 and 59.
Bistrot offers an international approach and intense passion for good, clean and fair artisanal products that enhance the regional ingredients and recipes created. Developed in partnership with Pollenzo University of Gastronomic Sciences and HMSHost’s parent company, Autogrill Group, Bistrot’s layout is reminiscent of a welcoming urban-type market that is designed to showcase multiple food stations through a large bakery component, a bounty of street-food fare, a live pasta station and a world-class café component.
“Born out of the Italian heritage for exceptional quality ingredients and flavours, Bistrot Montréal-Trudeau bolsters the airport’s selection of world-class dining and invites travellers to enjoy a well-deserved moment of relaxation and excellent cuisine before their flight,” says HMSHost president and CEO Steve Johnson. “We are thrilled to bring Bistrot’s first location outside of Europe here to Montréal–Trudeau Airport, in partnership with Aéroports de Montréal and our parent company Autogrill.”
The Bistrot menu includes local purveyors such as: Alfred Le Fermier Cheese; Hector Larivée for fruit and vegetables used in the daily juice selections; Moulins de Soulanges, which provides environmentally friendly grain for the fresh pasta; and Premiére Moisson for sourdough and daily pastry selection.
To accompany their meal, travellers can choose from bottled beers and wines, as well as an assortment of desserts. For relaxation before their journey, travellers are encouraged to enjoy the comfortable common seating and lounge area, with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the tarmac.
