The Savo restaurant at the Place de la Gare in Sherbrooke has a terrace and this month it is offering fondue dinners in the fresh air, dubbed « Hot Tub » meals. Diners dip their meat and vegetables into giant pots of steaming liquid (the « hot tubs » in question) and they have the option of creating an even more delicious dinner by adding hot cheese, courtesy of Fromagerie La Station.
