Fourquet Fourchette is a unique concept. http://www.fourquet-fourchette.com/site/en/concept.html
The "fourquet" (known as mashing rake in English) is an instrument traditionally used by brewers to process water and malted grains in the mash tun in order to convert the starch into fermentable sugars to produce a fluid mass called wort.
The "fourchette" is a fork.
Combine the two and you have our logo, symbolizing the ideal marriage between gastronomy and a love of beer.
That is the essence of our concept.
The Fourquet Fourchette is an invitation to immerse yourself in the lost era of New France and its native culture. Allow our traditional décor and staff to take you back in time. Treat yourself to a wonderful meal complemented by local Unibroue beers and a fine selection of regional wines.
Whether you choose to indulge yourself on the shore of the Richelieu River at Fort Chambly or in Old Montreal’s International District, the spirit of New France is alive and well at Fourquet Fourchette.
Le Fourquet Fourchette porte un nom et une signature qui reflètent clairement son concept unique. http://www.fourquet-fourchette.com/site/en/concept.html
Le « fourquet » évoque la bière et ses artisans; il est l'instrument traditionnel du brasseur qui s’en servait pour mélanger l'eau et le grain malté dans la cuve d'empattage pour transformer l'amidon de la céréale en sucre fermentescible, formant une masse liquide appelée le moût.
La « fourchette » évoque naturellement la gastronomie.
La combinaison du « fourquet » et de la « fourchette »...
...crée une enseigne qui véhicule l'essence du concept et supporte les armoiries du restaurant.
Cet emblème reflète le caractère du produit offert et invite à une expérience gustative, visuelle et olfactive, où les produits du terroir et le moût de bière prennent toute leur saveur.
Le Fourquet Fourchette c'est...
...une invitation à déguster un bon plat, aux couleurs de la Neuve France ou de la culture amérindienne, associé à une grande sélection de bières de spécialité brassées par Unibroue, et à la plus grande diversité de vins primés du terroir québécois;
...une évocation de l’histoire de la Nouvelle-France à travers les lieux, le décor, l’habillement du personnel et l’animation;
...un endroit unique et une table de choix sur les rives du Richelieu, avoisinant le Fort Chambly ou aux portes du Vieux-Montréal, dans le quartier international des affaires.
