Father's Day: 5 simple ideas to spoil dad with local products

As Father's Day approaches, I wondered about the gifts to give to the dads in our lives. I am particularly sensitive to overconsumption. I find that this kind of parties indirectly pushes us to consume massively, but not necessarily intelligently. Every year, it's inevitable, I'm tormented whether I buy him a perfume or a watch, when he doesn't really need it. I believe there is food for thought! I offer you 5 simple ideas to spoil dad differently.

It is therefore inspired by the expression "The real way to touch a man's heart is through his stomach" that I propose the following finds for this day in June:

Brunch

Who doesn't like to start the day with a great single roast coffee? The coffees offered by 94 Celsius will allow dad to travel through rich and unique flavors. At first glance, the Ethiopia Yirgacheffe blend seems more than adequate to start the day strong.

Paired with that, you can concoct pancakes drizzled with mystically rich maple syrup from Nos Cabanes . Or simple toasts that will be embellished with an exquisite spread made by Miss Marmelades . Whether it's strawberry & rhubarb or blueberry flavored with lavender, you're going to be just as pampered as dad to have opted for this suggestion.

The picnic

Some prefer to skip breakfast to accumulate a few more hours of sleep. So why not take advantage of the beautiful June sun to concoct a festive outdoor dinner? No need to break your head to develop a complex menu. A nice mix of greenery combined with a vinaigrette made from the vinegars from the Vinaigrerie Mc Duff discovery set and you're done. You add the foie gras offered by Les Canardises and you will have the illusion of a meal on a trendy downtown terrace.

Chef's BBQ

Dinner is always a great opportunity to take stock of a busy day. Do not hesitate to maintain the flame by taking advantage of that of your barbecue. Whether it's for a nice piece of meat or a delicate salmon steak, the flavors are there with the seasonings of Joe Beef . For this type of dish, the chef in you can use Fish Spices or Butcher's Mix respectively to spice up the dishes and add a touch of character. To complete your food pairing and fully embrace the flavors, surprise dad with a lime and pepper syrup fromLes Charlatans to enhance his cocktails. Your guest will be all the more surprised and charmed if you prepare a lime and pepper Gravlax using the same syrup!

Movie Night

Once the children are well asleep, go ahead, take out your secret weapons. Nothing better than a reinvented popcorn to enjoy a good movie. Whether it's the decadent bag of chocolate popcorn from Fays Terroir chocolaté or the kits containing all the ingredients needed for the perfect popcorn from BePop , you will be armed to face the evening. If you want to get out of your comfort zone, make sure you always have Oomph Seasonings in your pantry that can spice up even the simplest popcorn.

Who says popcorn, says drink. To create your winning duo, I highly suggest1642 Sparkling Beverages.

Cocooning Fashion

Dad prefers to get out of his week by activating his cocooning mode, no problem! You will be able to spoil it with decadent chocolates from Lecavalier Petrone . With its gourmet confections, all the senses are solicited. To come full circle, you can opt for a blend of quality teas from La Maison de Thé Camellia Sinensis . Whatever your choice, rest assured that it will be authentic and that it will be full of properties that will meet your expectations.

The offer of local and edible products is increasingly growing. So there is no reason not to think outside the box. My only advice, dare for refreshing ideas and you won't be disappointed, nor will dad!

No time to wait? Many of its products can be found at our store in Quartier Dix30, the Eaton Center or the Galeries de la Capitale.
