Cheval de Jade is now closed. I don't have the heart to delete the post, so I will leave it below so you can read about the splendour that once was. Frederique and Olivier, the husband and wife combo that created Cheval, cited a chronic lack of wait and support staff available in the area to keep the restaurant going at the level of quality they expect. I read that they will stay in the area and try a catering business instead, something they can manage themselves. All the best!
******************
I first heard of Cheval de Jade from my dentist...he and his family had taken a ski trip in Tremblant and it was the one restaurant he could remember, and now I understand why. The Cheval de Jade has quickly become our favourite restaurant in the Tremblant area, and for several reasons:
- The food is amazing. I'm a bit of a foodie so I have high expectations of a fine-dining restaurant and the Cheval never disappoints.
- The atmosphere is charming. Situated in a bungalow house on the east side of St. Jovite, the restaurant is cosy in the winter and glorious for outdoor dining on the patio in the summer.
- The staff are professional and friendly. You won't get a warmer welcome anywhere...the hostess and her husband chef are from France are a delight.
- If you reserve in advance, you can have the Rouennaise duck, which is a specialty, historic recipe and methodology for preparing duck using a press and traditional ingredients. The chef at Cheval is one of just a few Master Canardiers in Canada.
- They will remind you every time that Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones are regular customers. (And they are)
