La Belle et le Boeuf Restaurant is serving free meals to all active and retired members of the Canadian Armed Forces at all franchises on Remembrance Day.
It’s a common spot for the men and women in Canada’s military to stop and grab something to eat.
La Belle et le Boeuf Restaurant is located in the same town as the Royal Military College and base, Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu.
But on Remembrance Day, all military staff — active and retired — receive their lunch at no charge.
”It’s good to have it. it’s good to be able to gather around the table and have a good meal like this,” retired Major Frédéric Jean told Global News.
He served in Haiti, Central Africa and Afghanistan.
