Major work underway to make Rue Saint-Vallier more ‘user-friendly’
motorists and pedestrians will have to put up with a major disruption on a section of Rue Saint-Vallier Ouest until December
work started on Phase 1 of the project aimed at transforming the busy east- west artery into a refurbished
more user-friendly and greener one-way street
is a 200-metre stretch between the intersection of Ave
des Oblats in the east and Rue de Carillon in the west
a funeral home and many other businesses and offices
7 news release it has taken measures to minimize the impact of the closure on merchants and other users of the street
It said access to businesses will be maintained and those affected will be offered financial compensation for losses during the construction period
The maximum for eligible businesses is $30,000 a year
The city says about 20 applications for compensation have been filed already
the operator of the funeral home said it would be difficult to of- fer clients a cortege service for funerals with no street access for vehicles
the city advises users to make themselves aware of the detours required for certain routes
The city says it will continue to work with the Réseau de Transport de la Capitale (RTC) to “optimize public transit service in the neighbourhood,” and that “a new consultation process is planned on the subject.”
which the city describes as one of most extensive street revitalizations ever undertaken
is the result of consultations on the future development of the Saint-Sauveur district dating back to 2016
The third of the three phases will be completed in 2026 and ultimately will transform Rue Saint-Vallier from Boul
Charest in the east to Rue Marie-de-l’Incarnation in the west
“An innovative approach is being put forward to make this axis a more user-friendly artery that will promote safety and quality of life in the Saint-Sauveur district
greening and commercial dynamism will be at the heart of these transformations.”
In a video about the project on the city’s website
Rue Saint-Vallier is described as one of the city’s most historic streets and the main artery through the Saint-Sacrement district
it was initially the road connecting Quebec City with Wendake

Equus stenonis is one of the most prevalent European Pleistocene fossil horses
It is believed to be the possible ancestor of all Old World Early Pleistocene Equus
and as such provides insights into Equus evolution and its biogeography and paleoecology
The Equus stenonis holotype skull (IGF560) was first described by Igino Cocchi in 1867
from the Early Pleistocene locality of Terranuova (Upper Valdarno basin
although medio-laterally crushed and badly compressed skull
Here we provide the first application of a new virtual reconstruction protocol
The protocol extends beyond classic retrodeformation by using target specimens as a guide for the virtual reconstruction
The targets used as a reference are two fragmentary
coming from Olivola (Italy; IGF11023) and Dmanisi (Georgia; Dm 5/154.3/4.A4.5)
These two specimens do not display any major deformation
only slightly overlapping portions of the skull
The virtual reconstruction protocol we carried out has shown its feasibility
by producing two 3D models whose final morphology is perfectly congruent with the natural variability of a comparative sample of E
This study shows the potential of using even broken or otherwise fragmentary specimens to guide retrodeformation in badly distorted and damaged specimens
The application of Target Deformation will allow us to increase the availability of comparative specimens in studies of fossil species morphology and evolution
as well as to the study of taphonomic processes
partially incomplete cranial material by using target fossil remains of the same species
We demonstrate here that our procedure is viable even by using very incomplete target remains
which are common in the fossil record and cannot be used by themselves in comparative analyses
Both target skulls are lacking large portions of their crania
the Dmanisi specimen has a nicely undeformed mid-cranial vault entirely lacking the muzzle
the Olivola skull neurocranium is missing most of the cranial vault
housed in the Geological and Paleontological section of the Natural History Museum of Florence

from the Early Pleistocene locality of Olivola
The virtual reconstruction carried out herein has demonstrated the feasibility of this method
by the production of two 3D models whose final morphology is fully congruent with a comparative sample of E
stenonis specimens from other localities in Europe
vivid representation of the original skull shape in the Equus stenonis holotype specimen
demonstrating its relationships with the Old World Equus and extant zebras and its possible relationship with the North American Equus simplicidens
The Equus stenonis holotype is an almost complete
The skull has an elongated snout with a large canine
The nasal bones are retracted to the level of P3 mesostyle
The snout is elongate with an arcuate incisor arcade
The maxillary cheek teeth are inclusive of dP1-M3
dP1 is (remarkably) still in place although with advanced wearing
The maxillary cheek teeth have the following features: dP1 is small and rounded; P2 has a short anterostyle; all cheek teeth have a short protocone linked to the protoloph; pli caballins are single on all cheek teeth; fossettes are well developed on P2-P4 and M2
lesser developed on M1 and M3; hypoglyph is moderately deep on P2-M2 and not expressed on M3
the palatine processes of the muzzle are medio-laterally compressed
but the muzzle breadth between the posterior I3 borders is well preserved
and the left upper teeth row is rotated counterclockwise to the internal side and slightly sheared in its antero-posterior sagittal plane
The choanae are heavily distorted and medio-laterally compressed
even if the vomer and the basisphenoid bones are preserved
yet the paracondylar processes within the occipital condyles and the foramen magnum are preserved
the preorbital fossa is faintly delimited as a depression on the postero-superior maxilla level
and the facial maxillary crest is strongly developed on both sides
The zygomatic bone is preserved on the right side only
The orbits are preserved on the right side
while only the anterior ridge of the left orbit is present
The skull shows significant damage in the lateral maxillary region and the area of the paranasal sinuses
being more evident on the right side with respect to the nasal bones
the temporal bones are preserved on both sides
The right frontal bone above the orbital process
On the left side the frontal bone is strongly compressed with concomitant plastic deformation of the frontal sinuses and a shear compression along the sagittal plane
The maxillary and premaxillary bones (the muzzle) are well preserved
although the latter shows a slight counterclockwise rotation on the left side
as it is apparent in the positioning of the left P2-M3 cheek teeth row
The Dmanisi Equus stenonis fossil specimen Dm 5/154.3/4.A4.5 (<a href="#F2">Figure 2</a>) was used as a retrodeformation target
The skull is lacking the muzzle and the occipital bones
although the cranial vault is complete and undeformed
stenonis occlusal maxillary cheek tooth pattern
squared protocones connected to the protoloph
the maxillary cheek tooth rows are nearly complete (only the right P2 is missing) and the teeth show a medium stage of wear
The palate and the choanae are well preserved
but the anterior border of the vomer is preserved
The two mandibular fossa of the zygomatic process are preserved
the skull does not display any deformation
The preorbital fossa is small but clearly visible
The infraorbital foramen is preserved on the left side
the two facial maxillary crests are strongly developed from the zygomatic process up to P4/M1 vertical border in both sides and are clearly distinguishable from the orbital processes
The two maxillae do not show any deformation in correspondence to the paranasal sinus
and the frontal bones do not show any deformation in correspondence to the frontal sinuses
The nasal bones are broken but preserved up to the level of the preorbital fossa
The Equus stenonis specimen from Olivola (<a href="#F3">Figure 3</a>) is our second target skull
The skull is incomplete having preserved its muzzle and palatal regions
although damaged on the lateral and dorsal surfaces
does not show any sign of deformation in ventral view
The palatine process is preserved in the premaxilla with all the upper incisors in situ
The palate is not deformed although the choanae are missing
The two maxillary tooth rows are well preserved
the two facial maxillary crests are well developed up to the P4/M1 boundary on both sides
The skull shows a slight deformation in proximity to the paranasal sinuses
The Equus stenonis 3D digital meshes used in the analysis, the holotype skull IGF560 and the two target specimens Dm 5/154.3/4.A4.5 and IGF 11023, were acquired using the structural light 3D Scanner Artec Eva and Artec Space Spider<a id="footnote1a"></a><a class="footnoteanchor" href="#footnote1">1</a>
The accuracy of the Artec Eva is up to 0.1 mm
It is capable of capturing the object&#x2019;s texture with a 1.3 megapixel resolution
with a 3D reconstruction rate for real time fusion of up to 16 frames per second
and a data acquisition speed of 2 million points for each second of recording
It works with a flash bulb (not a laser) 3D light source
Artec Eva is designed to digitally acquire objects larger than 10 cm
Artec Space Spider has a the 3D point accuracy of up to 0.05 mm
It is capable of capturing the object texture with a 1.3 megapixel resolution
with a 3D reconstruction rate for real time fusion up to 7.5 frames per second
and a data acquisition speed of 1 million points each second of recording
The optimal object size to be acquired under Artec Space Spider is &#x003E; 5 cm
Digital reconstruction techniques are becoming very popular in paleontology, as they represent a powerful tool to analyze disarticulated and damaged fossil remains, and even to reconstruct missing parts (<a href="#B6">Benazzi et al., 2014</a>; <a href="#B13">Cunningham et al., 2014</a>; <a href="#B28">Profico et al., 2019a</a>)
Here we designed a workflow that sequentially combines different analytical tools and algorithms to obtain a virtual restoration of the Equus stenonis holotype skull (IGF560) by using target specimens as a guide (all meshes have been decimated to 500,000 triangles)
Perform the retrodeformation of the Equus stenonis holotype (IGF560) by using a bilateral landmark configuration
Align the target specimens (the Georgian Dm 5/154.3/4.A4.5 and IGF11023 from Olivola) to each other in order to calculate a mean target shape
Warp the retrodeformed holotype onto the mean target shape
(A) Dorsal view; (B) ventral view; (C) lateral view
Fossil restoration process explained step by step
(A) The IGF560 specimen is symmetrized by using retroDeformMesh() to obtain IGF560R
(B) IGF11023 is first oriented on Dm5 (DTA 1)
A mean shape between the first aligned set and the second is computed
The target set is built by using the Dm5 landmark set and the landmarks of the mean shape set belonging to the snout
(C) IGF560R is warped via thin plate spline transformation based on the target configuration
All landmarks were manually sampled with Amira software
Once we obtained two different aligned sets
We further applied 3D reflection to IGF560R to obtain a perfectly symmetrical model with two zygomatic arches
This produces a symmetrical rendering of IGF560 which we refer to as IGF560R-S
We repeated the warping process on IGF560R-S
producing the virtual reconstruction IGF560W-S
The goal of the mirroring process is to compare the simple restoration procedure
where the starting digital model is forced to be symmetrical
In addition, to visualize the local deformation between the original and the retrodeformed model we used the function localmeshDist() (<a href="#B30">Profico et al., 2020</a>)
The localmeshDist returns a 3D color map showing the local deformation in terms of area reduction or expansion
it is possible to visualize which areas during the target deformation procedure were either reduced or expanded
we performed a Principal Component Analysis (PCA) by comparing biometric distances taken on the virtual specimens to equivalent measurements taken on several skulls of fossil and extant species to evaluate the goodness of the Target Deformation procedure
The Target Deformation results on the Equus stenonis holotype are shown in <a href="#F6">Figure 6</a>. <a href="#F6">Figures 6A&#x2013;D</a> represent IGF560, IGF560R, IGF560W, respectively, with the color scale bar obtained from the meshDist() and localmeshDist() function to evaluate the morphological distance between the three target deformation versions of IGF560 (<a href="#T1">Table 1</a>)
Comparison of the 3D models obtained with the Target Deformation
Color gradient (from blue to red) indicates the increase in mesh vertex displacement in millimeters in IGF560R (B) and IGF560W (C)
Panel (D) shows the mesh triangles area variation in terms of contraction (red/yellow) and expansion (blue/purple)
Surface mesh pairwise distances in terms of maximum (lower triangle) and absolute mean values (upper triangle) between IGF560
and their symmetrical equivalents IGF560R-S and IGF560W-S
IGF560R displays a maximal deformation of 12 mm in correspondence to the frontal bones above the orbital processes and the temporal bones
where the brain case has been rendered symmetrical on the right side
The left maxillary and premaxillary process
due to the slight rotation on the left side of the original holotype
IGF560R renders the two upper teeth rows completely parallel
The palatine processes of the muzzle still remain medio-laterally compressed
even if the anterior breadth of the muzzle within the incisor arch (left I3 &#x2013; right I3) displays a slight rotation on the right side
The palate exhibits a medium deformation between the two upper teeth rows
It is remarkable that the two upper cheek teeth rows and maxilla processes behind the M3 have not been broadened
and the upper teeth occlusal morphology has not been deformed
The choanae show the analogous deformation on both sides
the two paracondylar processes and occipital condyle
the muzzle and the nasal processes have been slightly elongated and widened
even if the final breadth of the palatine process does not diverge significantly from the holotype
This demonstrates that the maximum medio-lateral deformation has been reached in the central and posterior areas of the skull
whereas the muzzle has not been involved with the same stress deformation
Table 2. Measurements of IGF560, IGF560W, IGF560R-S, and IGF560W-S. Measurements follow <a href="#B16">Eisenmann et al. (1988)</a> and <a href="#B8">Bernor et al. (1997)</a>
a set of control landmarks on the zygomatic arch and processes would have given a better result for this area of the skull
The blue areas recognizable in dorsal view on IGF560W and IGF560W-S can be interpreted as the results of the original vector stress deformation to which IGF560 has been exposed
these areas are located on the most damaged dorsal and ventral area of the skull and
follow the deformation of the left side of the skull on the central region of the neurocranium
In <a href="#F6">Figure 6D</a> we reported the mesh area variations between IGF560 and IGF560W computed by using the function localmeshDist
Cold and warm color palettes indicate respectively local expansion and reduction in the final virtual reconstruction (i.e.
IGF560W) compared to the original model (i.e.
The target deformation procedure leads to a great expansion of the neurocranium
which is laterally compressed and broken in the original specimen
and a moderate expansion of the ventral aspect of the right zygomatic arch
The choanae and the sphenoidal region show an analogous expansion on both sides
Only the upper portion of the frontal bone resulted in a contraction
The remaining anatomical regions of the IGF560 do not result in local differences
The IGF560 holotype has not been included in this sample due its severe medio-lateral deformation
In <a href="#F7">Figure 7</a> we reported the PCA plot showing the morphological similarities of IGF560W and IGF560W-S as compared to the comparative sample. The loadings of the PCA are reported in <a href="#FS2">Supplementary Figure S2</a>, whereas the PCA component values are shown in <a href="#T3">Table 3</a>
The PC1 and PC2 explain the 59.4% of the total variance (PC1 = 36.89%; PC2 = 22.51%)
PC1 mostly clusters specimens by the measurement M6 and M23 (total linear length) from negative to positive values
PC2 separates species by the M3 and M31 variables at positive values
The two models obtained with the new Target Deformation protocol
stenonis vireti sample from Saint Vallier and the Equus sp
from the Early Pleistocene of Sen&#x00E8;ze
These results allow us to confirm the performance of the Target Deformation
where the two IGF560W and IGF560W-S 3D models can be considered as coherent and trustworthy with the skull morphology of the European E
stenonis samples form Saint Vallier and Sen&#x00E8;ze
Only these two localities have provided complete slightly deformed or undeformed skulls
which can be considered in a multivariate analysis including several skull measurements
comparing IGF560W and IGF560W-S with a set North American and Eurasian Plio-Pleistocene Equus and with the extant Equus grevyi
The new virtual reconstruction protocol, which includes recent implementations in digital restoration of fossil specimens as retrodeformation (<a href="#B34">Schlager et al., 2018</a>), a digital tool for alignment (DTA, <a href="#B29">Profico et al., 2019b</a>), and 3D thin plate spline transformation (tps3d) (<a href="#B33">Schlager, 2017</a>)
has been applied on a case study utilizing one of the most important type specimens in the evolution of Old World Equus during the Pleistocene
the Equus stenonis from the Upper Valdarno Basin
We have demonstrated that this 3D virtual reconstruction protocol is capable of virtually restoring a severely crushed specimen by using partially complete skull specimens
Fossil horses are often deformed in their skull
due to their long and slender morphology and the presence of several pneumatized paranasal sinuses which occur within the skull
the original shape of the skulls can be restored in a detail that allows performing morphologic
The Target Deformation study undertaken on the E
stenonis holotype IGF560 has produced the 3D model IGF560W which has revealed a skull morphology congruent with other specimens ascribed to the same species
This reconstruction is further supported by a multivariate analysis of cranial measurements
Our results indicate that the new 3D meshes IGF560W and IGF560W-S have a skull whose shape falls within the intraspecific variability of the European Equus stenonis from the Early Pleistocene of Saint Vallier and Sen&#x00E8;ze
One potential caveat is that Target Deformation cannot provide shapes outside the range of the target specimens
potentially replicating their measurements
we argue that by producing intermediate shapes using separate specimens via DTA
Target Deformation does not produce measurement pseudoreplication
provided the original specimens are not themselves part of the analysis
neither the incomplete Dmanisi and Olivola skulls
nor the mediolaterally compressed and partially broken IGF560 could serve the goal to perform a comparative analysis of Equus skull shape variation
the new 3D models obtained with the Target Deformation protocol
can be included in a morphometric multivariate analysis in order to increase the E
This means target deformation promises to increase the statistical power of comparative analyses and could improve the digital restoration process
we argue that by sizing up deformation directly from the original specimens
Target Deformation can be a viable tool to study the impact of taphonomic distortion on fossil preservation
The virtual restoration protocol presented here can be undertaken on any other 3D species model involving either vertebrate or invertebrate fossils
Target Deformation could provide substantial improvement for examining and reporting damaged fossil specimens

Marie of the Incarnation at the Convent of Sisters of St
the French Ursuline nun will be the subject of a forensic investigation with scientific and theological implications.(CNS/Bob Mullen)
<a href="/authors/philippe-vaillancourt">View Author Profile</a>
<a href="/authors/catholic-news-service">View Author Profile</a>
a French Ursuline nun sent to establish the order in New France in the 17th century
the must-see figure in Quebec will be the subject of a forensic investigation with scientific and theological implications
The roots of the investigation began with a visit to the Ursulines in Old Quebec and an unusual object attracted the attention of Laval University professor Philippe Roy-Lysencourt: the saint's death mask
It got him thinking that perhaps more could be learned about the revered Ursuline nun
a historian and assistant professor of theology and religious studies
coordinated a pathography conference with Philippe Charlier
a French pathologist known for his study of the remains of famous people including King Richard the Lionheart and King Henri IV of France
Charlier presented a digital reconstruction of Mary Magdalene at the conference
Pathography is a relatively new branch of paleopathology and involves the medical study of people about whom history has hidden details about their life and death
The discipline aims to separate myth from reality by using scientific analysis of a person's remains to validate — or invalidate — the story behind their life
"I saw the death mask after the conference," Roy-Lysencourt said
"I told myself we could reconstruct her face
to be sure that it is indeed Marie of the Incarnation's."
He submitted a proposal to the Ursulines to secure their permission to continue
He'll count on Charlier among his collaborators
Roy-Lysencourt proposed not only analyzing the mask
but also the ulna from the saint's forearm from her remains at the Ursuline motherhouse
He also wants to examine the skull of the founder of the Canadian Ursulines
to reconstruct her face as faithfully as possible
we could propose a reconstruction in 3-D," he explained
thanks to a software used for forensic and police investigations — some of which used by the FBI — we'll be able to model her face."
the investigation could be more difficult than expected
because the saint's skull is nowhere to be found
Her body has been exhumed six times over the centuries
and in various reports there is no trace of the skull
Two main hypotheses offer an explanation: Either the skull quickly decomposed
or it was taken and offered to someone soon after her death
Or it could have been sent to the Congregation of Saint-Maur
but after going through the Ursuline archives Roy-Lysencourt said he thinks it simply decomposed
the historian planned to travel to Tours this summer to continue his investigation in the places where the saint lived the first 40 years of her life
The study should cost about $7,800 and the scientists involved agreed to work for free
It could take up to 18 months to get the first results
But convincing the Ursulines to endorse the project has been more difficult than expected
superior general of the Canadian Union of Ursulines
I cannot say that these are our first concerns regarding Marie of the Incarnation."
Dionne said she saw a greater dissemination of their founder's writings throughout the world
having people get in touch with her spirituality and making sure her mission continues is more important
the Ursulines do recognize the value of such research
"Marie of the Incarnation could make its way into the scientific world
If it can expand her influence around the world
scientific director of the Marie-de-l'Incarnation Study Center
also recognizes that such an exercise can trigger the curiosity of people and historians
which is a reality that is not to be neglected
it concretizes the relationship to a saint
it's interesting to see how far they can go," he said
Brodeur is one of the foremost specialists of the saint's writings and spirituality
He recalled that she suffered from physical pain throughout her life
"Some have said that the symptoms she describes are very similar to what is called gout," he said
He said he believes that learning more about the life and illnesses of St
Marie of the Incarnation could allow scholars to better understand her spiritual sensibilities
a retired theologian from Laval University
he claimed that his quest is mostly scientific and that the meaning of such an investigation is to be found afterwards
It may get a boost from an international conference on the saint planned for this fall in Quebec City

Le Pied Bleu is a charming Lyonnaise-inspired bistro where you can savour delicious charcuterie accompanied by a good bottle of wine
Opened 10 years ago by the couple Thania Goyette and Louis Bouchard Trudeau
has changed a lot.&nbsp;From a simple take-out charcuterie bar
the small establishment has been transformed into a restaurant where you can chat for hours
the owner tells us that the transition happened by chance in a very natural way
&#8220;Customers just wanted to share a nice bottle of wine and a platter of charcuterie in good company
The bar was then naturally transformed into a restaurant to answer the general demand: from there was born Le Pied Bleu&#8217;s cork!&#8221; recounts Louis
we discover a decor all in wood with carved details arranged throughout the room
developed by the couple in collaboration with Kim Parizeau
The place has all the cachet of a small cottage hidden in the countryside
with the warmth of a family home; especially with the two open kitchens.&nbsp;The restaurant advocates simplicity
conviviality and authenticity; it truly feels like home here
The restaurant&#8217;s charisma and authenticity has created a clientele of regulars who never tire to return
The owner even jokingly tells us that their children come to eat every day at lunch
The soul of the restaurant lies in the warm
Whether you are established at the bar or at the wooden tables
you can enjoy a menu that focuses on cooked charcuterie from the Lyon region in France
the star of the menu for which the restaurant was awarded
charcuterie lovers will not be disappointed here; Le Pied Bleu also offers a catering service for events of all kinds
the owner has concocted a list that is made up entirely of private imports that go deliciously with this local menu
Le Pied Bleu is definitely one of our favourites in Quebec City for their delicious local cuisine
but especially for the warmth of the owners that can be felt within the four walls of the address

Quebec City cyclists now have an additional 12.7 kilometres of bike paths to enjoy
The Ville de Québec has added six new sections to its VivaCité* bike path network this summer – the Pente-Douce corridor (from Rue Marie-de-l’Incarnation to Chemin Ste-Foy) and the Ma- rie-de-l’Incarnation corridor (from Rue Guyart to Côte de la Pente-Douce) in Montcalm
the 3e Avenue Ouest/52e Rue corridor (76e Ave Ouest to 4e Ave Est) in Limoilou
the Du Pont corridor in Saint-Roch (from Rue du Prince-Édouard to Rue Saint-Vallier Est)
the Quai Saint-André corridor in Petit-Champlain (Rue Saint- Pierre to Rue Dalhousie) and the Neilson corridor in Sainte-Foy (Rue de Marly to Rue André-Giroux)
Two existing bike lanes have also been spruced up with improved lane marking
additional protective barriers and traffic lights adapted for cyclists; they are the Boul
Laurier corridor near the Université Laval campus (Rue des Gouverneurs to Rue Marguerite-Bourgeoys) and the Chemin Sainte-Foy corridor in Montcalm (from Ave
Safety improvements to an additional corridor (the 4e Ave corridor in Limoilou) should be completed by mid-November
The additional corridors essentially triple the size of the bike lane network
modelled after Montreal’s Réseau Express Vélo
member of the executive committee responsible for mobility and road safety
estimated the cost of this year’s improvements at $4.8 million
although the exact cost won’t be known until all upgrades are com- pleted
Lachance said the bike lanes are “part of the city’s big ten- year plan for mobility,” which includes a 150-km network serving 85 per cent of the city’s neighbourhoods by 2035
“We are in a new dynamic to make biking a means of trans- portation and not just a way to have fun,” said Lachance
“Having separated bike lanes makes a huge difference in terms of safety – there are more families with kids taking their bikes to school
we see behaviour change; when we put in the corridor on Chemin Ste-Foy
the average speed of the cars went down by a few kilometres per hour
If we want to encourage people to walk or take their bikes
Over the next few months, the city is planning public consultations about the future of the bike path network. The consultation calendar is available at&nbsp;<a href="http://ville.quebec.qc.ca/citoyens/participation-citoyenne/activites/index.aspx">ville.quebec.qc.ca/citoyens/participation-citoyenne/activites/index.aspx</a>
*Editor’s Note:&nbsp;The version of this article published in the print edition of the Oct
9&nbsp;QCT&nbsp;refers to the bike network by its previous name
City officials announced the new name (VivaCité) on Oct
8 after the print edition went to press.&nbsp;
Tri Du and Thierry-Tri Du-Boisclair have opened their brand new venture, Le P&#8217;tit Tri, where sushi is served at the same level of excellence, quality and freshness as is available at <a href="/?p=20368" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Tri Express</a>
Le P&#8217;tit Tri officially opens its doors today
the logical progression for the ‘Tri’ family of businesses
« My father came across this space on St-Vallier some time ago
and saw it as an opportunity for our new project
and it continues the same concept as Tri Express
yet this time in a somewhat younger atmosphere
is responsible for the smooth running of Le P’ tit Tri
and in keeping with the vibe of the neighbourhood
I really want to be known as the local take-out counter for sushi
Le P&#8217;tit Tri is really designed for counter service but does have enough seating for 11 people
The look at Le P’tit Tri will be familiar to any regulars of Tri Express
not surprising because co-owner Tri Du is behind the decor
Think of the unusual colours and mismatching (yet interesting and eye-catching) objects in Tri Express
and this should be a reminder of the chef’s energy and Vietnamese roots
« I am always amazed at how my father creates beautiful atmospheres
it’s done in exactly the same spirit but younger and less overwhelming
We can only agree with him because the surroundings are indeed original and this is definitely a one-of-a-kind
The menu at Le P&#8217;tit Tri is strongly inspired by the Tri Express
« We&#8217;ve kept some dishes that we love
but we are also proposing several new dishes and these will vary over time according to customers’ suggestions
and the seasonal availability of ingredients
« Tri Du has taught me so much of what I know and how to do it
how to make good rolls without having to refer to a particular recipe and relying instead on quality
freshness and taste.» Manas has been with the owners since the very beginnings of Tri Express
and is now the very first employee of this new Le P&#8217;tit Tri
 Many of the beloved sauces found at Tri Express are being used here and for all the right reasons
The only difference is that the original ones were created by Tri
it is his son Thierry-Tri who is making them
There are lots of choices from the many raw fish and vegetarian items
These can be eaten on the spot at their big picnic table or take your order to eat elsewhere
Le P’ Tit Tri is now on our list of the best sushi in Montreal
The food here can be characterized by its creativity
its generosity and the quality of the ingredients
which makes it a winning combination every time
Le P’ Tit Tri does not yet have a liquor licence but plans are eventually to offer a limited selection of specialized beers to go with the take-out orders
This is Thierry-Tri’s exciting new adventure
« After working for 10 years at Tri Express
I see Le P&#8217; tit Tri as a gift from my father for which I am very grateful
I am super-excited to move ahead with this unique opportunity that will allow me to create new dishes together with Manas
The two of us have worked side-by-side for what seems forever
Le P&#8217; tit Tri is a friendly place that reminds us of everything we love about its older brother
The younger vibe will undoubtedly appeal to this ‘hood as well
Tastet would like to congratulate Le P’ tit Tri on the recent opening and we wish you much success

City approves Îlot Dorchester hotel with reduced height
The city has approved the Îlot Dorchester project thanks to a “compromise” entailing trimming three storeys from the project’s centrepiece hotel
he had given the green light to a revised plan with a 17-storey rather than 20-storey hotel anchoring the major development in what is now a huge parking lot in the heart of the Saint-Roch district
He told reporters because of significant housing needs in Saint-Roch
We need this project and we are going for it.”
Some residential groups had opposed the project on the grounds of housing density and the height of the hotel
had submitted several versions of the project
each addressing local concerns including green space and social housing.&nbsp;
The current development plan for the sector of Saint-Roch has a maximum of 10 storeys for buildings
although there are several structures higher in the immediate neighbourhood
Ilot Dorchester will require an amendment to the zoning plan
Public consultations will be held “in the coming weeks,” Marchand said
and no referendum is required to approve the zoning change
Groupe Trudel president William Trudel explained in a Radio-Canada interview the company was able to maintain the profitability of the tower structure by moving the hotel component to the larger lower part of the building
“We reached an agreement in the last few days with the major (hotel) brand that accepted this compromise
It allows us to lower the building to 17 floors
which was not possible before,” Trudel said
has caused a six-month delay in the planned start of construction
comprising 400 housing units in four separate buildings
with tanneries and factories related to shipbuilding
Groupe Trudel bought the site in 2022 after managing the parking lot for two years
Îlot Dorchester is the fourth major combined commercial and residential project the company has in the works
The others are redevelopments of Place Fleur de Lys
Galeries Charlesbourg and Place des Quatres Bourgeois.&nbsp;
Kraken Cru must be one of our favourite restaurants in Quebec City and it is definitely a landmark on the city’s culinary scene
This is a small restaurant with the atmosphere of a bar where delicious wines and exceptional seafood
Kraken Cru restaurant opened in 2013 and has been enticing its guests ever since
‘Kraken’ is a sea monster of legendary proportions in Nordic countries and by using this name
the owners chose to make a lighthearted nod to the culinary delights from the depths of the oceans
and L&#8217;Albacore) and the solid reputation of the owners has been built on these
This is an area where big changes are taking place and is considered to be a great place to start and end your evenings
The interior of Kraken is pretty tight with about 20 seats and the design is both simple and functional
all you get is a U-shaped bar with some black top utilitarian stools
There are even some empty shelves for customers to decorate (we’ll be thinking about this before our next visit!)
The chalkboard menu is on one wall – it’s short and changes every week but it’s a great menu
including a list of all the oyster varieties that are being shucked at the time
it is really the team who make Kraken Cru such a success
Olivier (chef) works his magic in the kitchen
and Philippe Lescelleur Saint-Cyr (manager
Maître’d) takes his rightful place behind the small U-shaped bar
they are the ones who will ensure that everyone venturing into Kraken Cru will be served a host of delights to savour and enjoy
Kraken Cru’s menu stands out for its simplicity and excellence
The chef is astute in letting the freshness of these ingredients speak for themselves and the small plates are designed to be shared and enjoyed like tapas
Oysters are front and center at Kraken Cru and any oyster lover can confirm that to be able to choose from up to 15 varieties is a real treat
All the seafood choices are well conceived and when the days start to get warmer
ceviches and sashimis are added to the menu
Philippe&#8217;s wine list is a superb one and includes 2 reds
20 whites and a dozen sparklings &#8211; mainly certified organic
the team’s passion becomes very contagious in this lively atmosphere as do the wine choices and food
The latest from the Kraken Cru team is the inauguration of the new oyster bar area on a lower level that seats another 25
This will hopefully alleviate the ongoing demand for a table because Kraken Cru does not take reservations
with its tempting menu of maritime delicacies
&#8220;I have the syndrome of the grandmother who absolutely wants to fill her grandchildren&#8217;s bellies&#8221;
&#8211; Jonathan Marcoux co-owner of Franky Johnny Sandwicherie
Franky Johnny Sandwicherie opened its doors on September 12
I had never worked in the restaurant industry before
I&#8217;ve always loved eating and cooking
We assure you here that no one could suspect Jonathan&#8217;s inexperience when tasting one of his creations
The sandwiches he prepares are each as delicious as the next
from the bread to the pickled vegetables that make up the majority of my sandwiches
I have to tip my hat to my partner and good friend François Borderon
He is the one who showed me the basics of the restaurant industry and who makes the bread for our sandwiches.&#8221;
The selection of sandwiches changes regularly. The chef assures us, however, that his famous classic Asian-style pork belly, bursting with flavour, will always be on the menu. &#8220;When I opened, I wanted to offer something new every day. The newbie that I was quickly realized that that was impossible. However, the idea behind the dream remains. I am constantly changing the menu so as not to bore my regulars.&#8221;
Franky Johnny&#8217;s sandwiches are seriously delicious. We promise that you will be satisfied; you have our word.
&#8220;With us, it&#8217;s not complicated. You have a sandwich on the edge of the counter, we crack two or three jokes, and we certainly see each other again very soon&#8221;.

as well as to have a drink at the bar in the evening
even before it became the place we know today
began as a product: a cold brew coffee concentrate
It can be used to spice up hot and cold drinks
centered in a way around the discovery of their product
In the charming space where Maelstrom is located today
cafe and bar is where their cold brew can be enjoyed in all its forms
The decor at Maelstrom was designed by Olivier Paré
one comes to enjoy the nicely arranged decor of the establishment
The room respects the original appearance of the building
with its beautiful wooden floors and red brick walls
Maelstrom&#8217;s tables and seating are mismatched
but no less harmonious; the place is unpretentious and has a friendly charm
Maelstrom&#8217;s period windows open up and add a touch of light to the location
which frequently hosts exhibitions by local artists
The space lends itself well to the different needs of the house depending on the time of day
Maelstrom&#8217;s menu is developed by Chef Michael Brown
offers three types of menus; a breakfast from 9 a.m
an evening menu available starting at 5 p.m
They are ideal when you are looking for something fresh and light; some even incorporate the establishment&#8217;s famous cold brew
The atmosphere is very relaxed; you come here to take your time and settle in at one of the tables to work or simply enjoy the moment
presenting its cocktail menu designed by Jeremy Brunet
which includes well-executed classics as well as signature cocktails
Maelstrom has an unpretentious air that makes it a peaceful place to savour a moment of peace
The establishment lends itself well to the versatility of its offerings
A great address to discover at any time of the day
Ma Station Café is a café-restaurant that opened its doors on Saint-Vallier street in 2015
you can enjoy a good meal and a coffee in a friendly and relaxing atmosphere
Owner Dominic Dion explains that the idea behind the café &#8220;comes from the desire to be a part of people&#8217;s routine
he decided to open a place with 40 seats where one could savour a good caffeinated beverage
the café makes its own cashew milk to accompany their coffees; it&#8217;s delicious
and balances their coffee from Barista roasters perfectly
Coffee is an equally important ingredient in the kitchen
This is notably found in their cream of carrot soup
The menu was developed in collaboration with consultant chef Héloïse Leclerc
There is a wide selection of dishes and something for everyone&#8217;s taste
Homemade waffles feature prominently on the menu; this includes breakfast waffles
dessert waffles (like the golden waffle with maple sugar chips and whey butter)
and even a savoury waffle dish (the poutine waffle)
It&#8217;s also nice to see many vegetarian and vegan options; including bagels (from Bügel) topped with vegan pâté or a faux-mage cream made with cashews and herbs
Ma Station Café is a cafe-restaurant that is part of the routine of many residents in Saint-Sauveur; as much for savouring a good coffee as for the delicious dishes served on site
The warm welcome of the staff and the courteous service further enhance this delightful experience
Saint-Sauveur&#8217;s growth continues with a diner that stands out for its superb comfort food and unique atmosphere
and Nicolas Tremblay make up the powerhouse team of Diner Saint-Sauveur
they opened this restaurant with Québécois and American flair in August 2018
Charles Aznavour&#8217;s song &#8220;Emmenez-moi&#8221; marks our entrance to this restaurant on a high note
The unique and festive atmosphere is reflected as much by the personalized and friendly service
as by the proximity of the open-plan kitchen
Philippe Blouin is the man behind the decor of the intimate space
which includes a bar with seating for eight
Philippe&#8217;s guiding principles were &#8220;pink
the kitchen is open until the wee hours of the morning
The idea behind the diner&#8217;s concept is to be close to the residents of the neighbourhood and to reflect its identity
we do it!&#8221;—refers to the customer&#8217;s enjoyment
Food recycling is an important principle for the owners
which they reflect with their homemade offerings
we find a number of revisited classics that are fixtures on the menu; the shepherd&#8217;s pie (braised beef brisket with rosemary and candied garlic
the chick&#8217;n waffles (chicken brined for 72 hours in buttermilk
then breaded with a succulent gravy and served with a maple and Sambal Oelek sauce)
and the Mac&#8217;n&#8217;cheese (Scooby Doo pasta and a Mornay sauce with Caveau tomme)
depending on the inspiration of the moment
A wide variety of side dishes are also available such as poutine bolognaise
they also offer fifteen or so extras to complement the dishes: blue cheese
but they can be prepared upon request; the Bloody Caesar with pickles and jalapeños is exquisite
the Saint-Sauveur Diner is a lively place where you&#8217;ll be happy to spend a few hours
where the proximity with the staff is entertaining
and where the delicious comfort food will win you over
