About us

Who we Are

 

The restaurant-grocery store La Calebasse was born from the desire to share African flavors to everyone without borders or exclusion. The only African restaurant in Quebec City, the owners of La Calebasse are convinced that Africa, the cradle of humanity, has a gastronomic wealth to discover.

Food can lead us to see others differently, it brings us into the intimacy of a little-known culture...

In Quebec, La Calebasse is located in the heart of the Sainte Foy district and close to Laval University, a true pool of cultural diversity. The restaurant offers original cuisine and a different culinary art to discover.

The Heart and Soul of La Calebasse

Combining tradition and innovation, the owners of La Calebasse have deployed their energy to bring together a passionate and attentive team.

They are banking on the following assets:

  • Occupying a niche in a context where demand for exotic cuisine is growing by leading Quebecers to open up to new flavors and new spices.
  • Allow immigrant families to have access to exotic products and dishes specific to their culture and to have access to a space for socialization.
  • Offer quality cuisine and diversified services to attract a large clientele.
  • Offer evening events: African stories, conferences, African music, etc.
  • Come and experience special moments away from daily stress while enjoying a taste journey to the heart of Africa.

This is the whole Calebasse  spirit, that of being another philosophy of life and of offering zenitude.
