New Year’s Eve is always a great reason to celebrate. It is the end of days bygone and the welcoming of new beginnings. And what better way to end the year than a magnificent 4 course dinner (with a little extra bite to get you started)?
Well, that is exactly what you will find if you book a reservation for New Year’s Eve dinner at Sinclair restaurant at the hotel St-Sulpice, in Old Montreal, Quebec, Canada. For 2103, the New Year’s Eve menu featured some of the most divine modern takes on classic cuisine as well as adventurous wine pairings for those who want the ultimate in end of the year elegance.
