Featuring French-style cuisine, Dave Fauteux’s restaurant Bon Temps operates under the concept of L’Ordre de Bon Temps or the Order of Good Cheer. The Order was founded in 1606 by Samuel de Champlain in Port Royal, Nova Scotia. After arriving from France to the East Coast, the settlers were cold, sick with scurvy, and depressed. To lift spirits, they enacted the Order which was a weekly food and entertainment celebration that occurred throughout the frigid winter months. The wine list features varietals from France, Italy, and Canada. Keeping in line with the inclusiveness of the Order of Good Cheer, the menu features vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options to accommodate diverse diets.
