Tourisme Îles de la Madeleine, in collaboration with Bon goût frais des Îles de la Madeleine and Arrimage, is proud to reveal the Wild Gourmet Spree's quirky 2018 programme! 

From June 10 to 30, nine restaurants, local producers and artists are combining their creative vision to highlight the best the archipelago has to offer during a series of unique thematic events.

Festivities for the 2018 Wild Gourmet Spree started June 10 at Resto Bistro Accents with the Elaine, "seal" our fate Evening — a dinner celebrating seal meat and the tall tales of colourful storyteller Élaine Richard.

The 8th Edition will end next June 30, when Auberge la Salicorne hosts its "Break out of your shell" Evening with a tasting menu featuring the beloved mussel, in collaboration with pottery Maison du Potier. 

Given the great success of previous editions, restaurants invite visitors to quickly reserve with them directly since seating is limited and will be going... like hot cakes! 

About La Folle Virée Gourmande/Wild Gourmet Spree

To the delight of food lovers everywhere, every early summer, local restaurants join with producers and artists in a burst of creativity to celebrate the best our Islands have to offer during one-of-a-kind, themed culinary events. This Gourmet Spree is more than a fortuitous occasion: it follows the earlier initiative "Artisans à table/Artisans at the table", the brainchild of potter Patrick Leblond who brought together a dozen or so artisans tasked with designing utilitarian objects inspired by, and destined for, terroir products. Over the years, La Folle Virée Gourmande has become the Islands' must-attend gourmet happening.
