They have nothing to do with those served in traditional hospitals: they are concocted meticulously by the chef,&#8221; confirms an employee.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The food is scrumptious. It&#8217;s no wonder that in our cafeteria, the employees eat exactly the same food served to our patients!&#8221; he says with a smile.<\/p>\n<p>As if that wasn&#8217;t enough, Ascl\u00e9piade&#8217;s food is offered in the form of a buffet. In this way, each person designs their own plate. For example, they can replace beef with trout or take a little more (or a little less) of a food offered. Soups, complete meals, desserts, and what else? The menu always contains surprising proposals.<\/p>\n<p>Note that no specific menu is imposed before or after an operation. Thus, each person is free to choose the foods that will be on his or her plate.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018\u2019Our meal service meets all allergy standards,&#8221; says a nurse at the <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.grsmontreal.com\/en\/centre-metropolitain-de-chirurgie-cmc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CMC<\/a>, who is also a fan of the meals served at Ascl\u00e9piade.

The reason is simple: at Ascl\u00e9piade, as is the case throughout the CMC, <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.grsmontreal.com\/en\/how-the-nursing-staff-of-the-centre-metropolitain-de-chirurgie-is-selected\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">employees have a lot of fun working together<\/a> and this can be both seen and felt.<\/p>\n<p>The atmosphere is tinged with this lightness and there are many quiet places. Moreover, when the weather allows it, many people gather on the nearby outdoor terrace to savor the succulent dishes. With nature as a backdrop and calm as a prevailing gift, this is an experience that&#8230;tastes like heaven!<\/p>\n<p>Quiet atmosphere, nature, and good food. What could be better?<\/p>\n<p>Despite the high quality of this offer, however, it is important to note that patients who wish to do so can also order food in one of the many restaurants located near the CMC.<\/p>\n<p>But of course, when they discover the peaceful atmosphere of Ascl\u00e9piade as well as its balanced, tasty, and meticulously prepared meals, the temporary residents of Ascl\u00e9piade often realize that they are among the lucky ones who will remember fondly their time in this inviting and warm place.
