What You'll Get
Ingredients that have travelled a long distance to arrive on your plate can ruin meals by making a bindle out of your napkin and hitting the road with half the silverware. Savour less restless rations with today's Groupon for dining at the Delta Bessborough hotel. Choose between two options:
- For $25, you get $50 worth of upscale dinner fare and drinks at GCC.
- For $10, you get $20 worth of breakfast or lunch fare and drinks at Garden Court Café.
Helmed by the 2009 Canadian Culinary Federation of Chef’s de Cuisine Northern Saskatchewan Chef of the Year Ryan Marquis, the GCC and Garden Court Café showcase a mouthwatering menagerie of Saskatchewan's local bounty. With the help of local suppliers, farmers, and their shamelessly self-promoting cows, Marquis packs as many locally grown ingredients as he can into nutrient-dense dishes. Begin the day with a sumptuous spread at the breakfast buffet, featuring hot dishes that include local sausage made exclusively for the Bessborough, as well as cheese, fresh fruits, yogurts, and more ($15). Or, break up a midday clogging routine and sit down to ample lunch fare, such as the peppercorn-smoked pulled-pork sandwich, which lounges on crispy olive toast as it nuzzles up to smoked stilton ($14).
Dinnertime treads a surefire path to impress out of town guests or picky poltergeists with dishes such as chicken and waffle points, grilled boneless chicken thighs atop savory waffles bedecked with lemon cream and mandarin-orange glaze ($23). Or, evening patrons can open their palates’ portcullises for a proteinaceous feast of chili-rubbed boar tenderloins, rubbed with ancho chili and served with sweet-potato puree and sour-cherry compote ($25).
Sharing a space on the mezzanine level of the Delta Bessborough hotel, GCC and Garden Court Café swaddle sumptuous fare in upscale environs, with a dining room festooned with brick walls, burnished wood tables, and mustard-hued pillars. Amble in for local, sustainable fare, and feel both as regal and responsible as a diamond-encrusted pocket protector.

About Garden Court Café and Gourmet Community Cuisine
On the mezzanine level of the Delta Bessborough hotel, Executive Chef Ryan Marquis unites travellers and locals with artfully arranged dishes inspired by ingredients from Saskatchewan's own farmers and fishermen. High, arching windows in the Garden Court Café provide diners with river-valley views, and ample amounts of natural sunlight illuminate dishes including smoked-salmon frittatas and chicken-and-shrimp fettuccine. During evening hours, the GCC invites diners to pull up to tables draped in white linens to enjoy braised beef ribs, grilled herb-and-honey pork loin, and apple-stilton chicken breast.
