In Montréal, the journey to Canada’s most celebrated culinary stage begins with an evening of elegance, artistry, and exceptional taste—an immersive exploration of the country’s finest flavours.
For our 20th anniversary, two chefs will represent Montréal at the national finals in Ottawa: a Chef of Distinction, selected by national judges, and one All-Star winner chosen from a curated selection of the most exciting, dynamic chefs working in and around the city today.
Guests will enjoy signature dishes from Montréal’s top chefs, paired with curated Canadian wines, beers, and spirits—an up-close culinary experience designed to inspire and excite.
Join us for an evening of exceptional taste, meaningful impact, and thrilling competition.

Montréal to the National Stage
We are pleased to announce that Mathieu Cloutier, Canadian Culinary Champion in 2010, has been named Montréal’s Chef of Distinction, and will be one-half of the elite team representing Montréal at the Canadian Culinary Championship in Ottawa.
At the end of the evening, the winner of the competition will be announced. Together, they will take the podium as Montréal’s representatives at the national competition in January—united in showcasing the city’s spirit, creativity, and culinary excellence.

A dinner with a meaningful purpose
A larger objective is at the heart of the evening.
Your participation supports Le Dépôt in Montreal — a community-based non-profit that works alongside its community to address the root causes of hunger and poverty. Through more than 20 food-based programs — including a community grocery market, shared gardens, cooking workshops, and mobile markets — Le Dépôt supports food security and healthy eating habits for youth, families, and individuals, all while fostering dignity, connection, and community engagement. Their work is built around four pillars: share, grow, cook, and mobilize.
Together, we create opportunities, encourage potential, and strengthen communities across the country.
To date, we have raised $19.9 million.
It's an experience that resonates far beyond the dining table.
