1 and in November issue of Air Canada enRoute
Magazine
MONTREAL, Aug. 15,
2022 /CNW Telbec/ - Air Canada is proud to present
the 30 nominees for Canada's Best
New Restaurants. Since 2002, Air Canada enRoute has celebrated
through this program the country's best new restaurants, chefs,
teams and emerging talent—and this year, the Top 10 list is back!
The highly anticipated longlist is out today on
CanadasBestNewRestaurants.com.
Canada's Best New Restaurants
celebrates its 21st year, making it the longest-running national
culinary talent search and the only cross-country restaurant
ranking to use a single, anonymous reviewer who sets out to sample
the year's best new restaurants. Based on the recommendations of
our national panel of food experts, Air Canada sent one undercover
writer on a month-long culinary marathon in search of the top 30
most notable openings across the country, all of which are now
contenders for the coveted Top 10 list.
The 2022 Canada's Best New Restaurants longlist spans 15 cities
across eight provinces. From a four-seat Sichuan noodle counter at a Chinese grocery
store in Montreal to a steakhouse
reimagined in a panoramic lounge 40 floors above Calgary, this year's list features 30
restaurants in a range of formats, including a permanent pop-up, an
art gallery-housed takeout spot, and pandemic-delayed visions that
finally came to fruition.
"Air Canada applauds and
congratulates the work of the chefs and restaurateurs who undertook
the incredible journey of opening up a restaurant over the past
year, which is already a feat during the best of times," says
Andy Shibata, Vice President, Brand,
Air Canada. "We are committed to sharing their stories and how they
also successfully embraced new ways to explore cultural identity
and made strides to advance sustainability and workplace
equity."
