Physical distance does not prevent us from celebrating the important things! Whether we’re under the same roof or meeting virtually, there’s nothing better than a mimosa to celebrate Mother’s Day.

One with herbaceous notes and the other with fruity flavours, the two Nordic mimosa recipes from Alphée Gagnon, chief service at the Strøm Mont-Saint-Hilaire Nord restaurant, pay tribute to our local products and remind us of the importance of eating local products.

From our family to yours, cheers to moms!
