This winter, SAT is revisiting après-ski in its own unique way, with a distinct Alpine touch and a soft spot for melted cheese. Inspired by the House of Gucci aesthetic, Gratiné draws on winter glamour and well-measured excess to create a gourmet, festive, and uninhibited evening to be enjoyed between the terrace and the restaurant. Here, you warm up by eating, drinking, and dancing.
A direct nod to this universe, House of Goût-Ski subverts haute couture to celebrate taste and pleasure above all else. Raclette toast, soup and giant oysters au gratin, and flambéed Bombe Alaska make up a revisited Montreal chalet menu, designed as a sensory experience with winter food porn and cheese pull galore. A pretzel served with melted cheese sauce is included with each ticket to set the tone upon arrival.
The gratin-inspired culinary experience is crafted by Clément Boivin of Cuisine Libre!, with Catherine Lépine Lafrance handling desserts and cocktails. Food is served at the counter in a friendly urban chalet atmosphere, to be enjoyed standing up or in a relaxed setting.
At the bar, hybrid cocktails and mocktails extend this idea of winter opulence. Hot and cold cocktails, homemade syrups, génépi, and chartreuse. The perfect continuation of the immersive world of the film -22.7 C projected in the dome.
From 8:30 p.m., the music takes over. DJ FORREST sets the pace and gets the party started, transforming après-ski into a real celebration!
Gratiné is an invitation to turn the cold weather into an excuse to party.

Clément Boivin (Cuisine Libre!)
Clément Boivin is a self-taught chef with an impressive background. After working with the Au Pied de Cochon group and then for the Michelin-starred M Wells in New York, he won season 3 of Chef des bois, then in 2021 he founded Cuisine Libre!, a nomadic restaurant with a changing mood, a company specializing in the design of exceptional gastronomic events.
He designs these events in both urban and outdoor settings. Inspired by his environment, he seeks to enrich Quebec's culinary heritage
by promoting its little-known resources. He stands out for his creativity and personal culinary approach.
Catherine Lépine-Lafrance was born on a small self-sufficient farm. Between rows of asparagus, on the path to the sugar shack, or while scraping honeycombs, she learned early on what would become the guiding thread of her life: doing things by hand, for the purpose of sharing. After a detour into theatre and electronic arts—pursued in the same spirit—she enrolled in pastry school at the ITHQ, with one clear goal: to open the artisanal candy shop she had always dreamed of. A place to create exploratory sweets, rooted in seasonality and the local landscape, without extravagance, artificial flavors, or over-the-top colorants. It was after an internship with Hirsinger, a Meilleur Ouvrier de France chocolatier-confectioner in the Jura region, that her vision came to life. Over the next 15 years, thousands of kilos of sugar would be transformed with the patience and precision required to bring that dream to fruition. These 15 years of hands-on experience in artisanal confectionery and pastry have built a rich tapestry of knowledge—now ready to be shared. Newly arrived at the Society for arts and technology, Catherine has created a menu where the seasons dictate the rhythm and each dish celebrates the simple pleasure of transforming what nature has to offer.
