It is a tremendous privilege for me to assume the honorary presidency of the Exquisite Evening 2025. Having been involved with Tel-jeunes for over 10 years, I understand the importance of supporting young people in their journey towards a promising future. Tel-jeunes is doing an exceptional job to ensure the accessibility of services to teenagers.

The mental health of our young people must be a priority for all of us. I firmly believe that a young person who is heard, valued, and reassured will have confidence in their resources for the future.

Together, we can offer a promising future to Quebec's youth. Let's make the Exquisite Evening 2025 a real success!

Paul Croteau and Guillaume St-Pierre have been longtime culinary partners. Together, they created Battuto, a cozy 24-seat trattoria that was named Restaurant of the Year at the 2022 Lauriers de la gastronomie québécoise gala and Best New Restaurant in Canada by EnRoute magazine from Air Canada in 2017. With their team, in the Saint-Roch neighborhood of Québec City, they make everything in-house and refuse to move to a larger space, as this intimacy allows for a close connection between guests and chefs.

Today, they have chosen to get involved with the Tel-jeunes Foundation and contribute their creative talent to offer, in collaboration with Simon Renaud, Executive Chef of Maestro Culinaire, the exclusive partner of the Québec City Convention Centre, a menu inspired by Alla Battuto. Buon appetito!

Circle of Allies

The Tel-jeunes Foundation wishes to highlight the exceptional commitment of those men and women who actively engage throughout the year to be allies of teenagers.
