La Petite Primerose blossoms in Gatineau
The new restaurant features an adventurous kitchen team with a focus on locally sourced and vegetarian-forward ingredients

What do you need to know? First, dining here will be a singular experience as it’s likely you’ll never have these dishes again. As co-owner Tristan Bragaglia-Murdock told me “At the moment we’ll likely change the menu twice a week. Perhaps more.”
With an ever-changing menu, it will be interesting to see how La Petite Primerose carries on during the winter months. Will they rely on those clear winners from months of experimentation when the produce supply is less reliable or will it be all cabbage and root vegetables?

Either way I’m agreeable as the cooking of chef/business partner Lewis Robinson is both fluid and inspired, and I can’t imagine a halting of the artistry just because of the season.
With Bragaglia-Murdock, a trained sommelier, the drinks menu is tight (thank you) and well curated with local Gatineau-produced beer and remarkably delicious wines from wineries around Quebec.
