It will feature a bar and dining area with seating for up to 80 guests, alongside a retail section.
With a focus on Indigenous cuisine, Sagamité first launched in Wendake in 1999. The new site, slated to become operational later this year, will be the brand’s third restaurant at YQB.
The airport site will provide dine-in and takeaway options while the shop will sell Wendat-made products such as jewellery, mittens and moccasins.
The venture is backed by financial support from the federal and Québec governments, as well as the Royal Bank of Canada (RBC).
Sagamité founder and owner Steeve Gros-Louis said: “We are proud to be opening our third Sagamité restaurant at YQB, along with a souvenir and craft shop.
“It’s the perfect opportunity to share the Wendat Nation’s food and culture with travellers from around the world.
“We are grateful to the governments of Canada and Québec, and RBC, for their financial support, which is allowing us to honour our traditions and keep them alive by providing a unique, authentic experience to travellers at Québec City Jean Lesage International Airport.”
YQB has been managed by private operator Aéroport de Québec since 1 November 2000.
YQB president and CEO Stéphane Poirier said: “We are pleased to be able to give travellers the chance to experience the richness of Wendat culture.
“Sagamité is helping our airport become not just a point of departure, but a gateway for exploration and discovery.
“The new concession also fits perfectly with our intention to enhance the passenger experience at YQB by involving communities from around Québec City and across all of Québec in YQB’s growth and offering a variety of outstanding services.”
