RIDEAU HALL is the home to Canada’s Governor General, who represents the Queen and is Canada’s de facto Head of State. Chef Oliver Bartsch and Chef Louis Charest take Michael, and honoured guests, on a culinary journey with a 5-course, all-Canadian menu. Everything for the Nation’s Table is made from scratch using Canadian ingredients – including the breads and condiments, right down to the chocolate truffles. Michael harvests fresh ingredients from the organic garden and explores the essence of Canadian cuisine.
