The latest project by Fabio Monti (L'Atelier, Ophelia), Va Bene offers its customers an exclusive high-end experience thanks to its concept of an antipasto bar in a shared formula. Epicureans will be able to discover a vast selection of Italian imported products such as charcuteries, cheeses, breads, signature and vegetarian starters, pasta, risottos, meat and fish, all in a warm and friendly atmosphere in the heart of one of the most beautiful districts of the national capital. The restaurant is the fifth company of the Maestro Group, after L'Atelier and L'Ophelia restaurants, the Odevi cocktail blend brand and the Ophelia boutique hotel.

The menu, elaborated meticulously from products directly imported from Italy, will bring together the antipasti of choice, namely Prosciutto, Culatello, Salami, Mortadella, Burrata, Mozzarella, Ubriaco Rosso can all be accompanied by breads like the Gnocco Fritto and several options of Foccacias, not to mention the famous olives and various seasonal pickled vegetables. The vast selection of signature entries to share will be salivating and will give the taste to try everything! The ten main dishes will, meanwhile, seduce by the authentic flavors of Italy that will emerge from them, gathering as many pasta as tempting as meat, seafood, fish for an Italian feast like no other! An exclusive selection of private imported wines will complete this unforgettable gastronomic experience.

UNIQUE DINING EXPERIENCE
With 40 seats inside, the restaurant will welcome its clientele in a clean and modern decor. It will be able to sit comfortably on the benches and even testify to the know-how of the chefs thanks to the open kitchen. The terrace, which can accommodate 16 people, will offer stunning views of the Château Frontenac and the St.Lawrence River in an enchanting setting.
