Sagamité

Starting in the fall of 2026, people travelling through Québec City Jean Lesage International Airport (YQB) will get a taste of Wendat culture through dine-in and takeaway meals and a selection of Wendat crafts like jewellery, mittens, and moccasins.

The 273-square-metre Sagamité restaurant and shop will be located after the security checkpoint, between gates 31 and 32. The cozy bar and dining room will seat up to 80 travellers as they enjoy bannock, game, and many other dishes inspired by First Nations culinary traditions.

Sagamité has been giving people from around the world the chance to discover Indigenous culture through First Nations flavours since its first restaurant opened in Wendake in 1999, with a second, more recent location opening in Old Québec creating even more opportunities for discovery. The house specialty is Yatista (the fire), commonly called the "Gallows", a spectacular game grill. The name Sagamité refers to the dish that has nourished the Wendat Nation for centuries: sagamité soup, made from the three sisters (corn, squash, and beans).
