  1. IT’S OFFICIAL. 📢 📢 📢 Big news. We wrote a book !!! We still can’t believe it. Two years ago, we embarked on a completely wild project: trying to put Mon Lapin onto paper. Its recipes, its wines, its producers, its stories, its reflections, its hospitality, and everything that has made its heart beat since day one. To tell our story, we immediately thought of our friend and word wizard, Mireille Silcoff. We also knew that Dominique Lafond had to be behind the lens. No one knows us better. Two years later, we can finally share the news : THE MON LAPIN COOKBOOK: DE TOUTE BEAUTÉ ! Available in both French and English. We are emotional! Excited! Grateful! And a bit in shock. Pre-orders are now open through our website, as well as through Phaidon.com, where a limited number of signed copies are available. The official release is coming October 8th, 2026. A big thank you to Emily and the entire Phaidon team for believing in this project. // C’EST OFFICIEL. 📢 📢 📢 Grande nouvelle. Nous avons écrit un livre !!! Nous avons encore du mal à y croire. Il y a deux ans, nous nous sommes lancés dans un fou projet : mettre le Mon Lapin sur papier. Ses recettes, ses vins, ses producteurs, ses histoires, ses réflexions, son hospitalité et tout ce qui fait battre son cœur. Pour raconter notre histoire, nous avons immédiatement pensé à notre amie, et magicienne des mots, Mireille Silcoff. C’était aussi une évidence que Dominique Lafond soit derrière l’objectif. Deux ans plus tard, nous pouvoir enfin partager la nouvelle : MON LAPIN : DE TOUTE BEAUTÉ ! Disponible en français et en anglais. Nous sommes émus! Excités! Reconnaissants! Et un peu sous le choc. Les préventes sont ouvertes dès maintenant sur notre site web, ainsi que chez Phaidon.com pour une quantité limitée d’exemplaires signés. La sortie officielle aura lieu le 8 octobre, 2026.

  3. J’ai trouvé ça drôle quand @francoislegault.pm a dit hier que tous les québécois ont hâte de retourner « manger » au restaurant. La réalité c’est que environ 250,000 québécois dépendent de cette industrie pour manger à la maison.

  3. ❤️ Proud Parenting Moment - If you’ve dined with us this summer and enjoyed any of our buns, focaccia, biscuits, crackers, shortbreads, crème brûlées, carrot cake, pavlovas and more, you can thank Zoé. She’s been a fixture in the bakery every morning all summer. Aside from some occasional help from her mom (@feistychef) Zoe has single handedly run the bakery day in and day out. 🍞🥖🥯 Watching our kids grow up around The Canteen over the last 10 years has been pretty special, but finally seeing one of them contribute in a significant way and be a valued member of the team is definitely the icing on the cake. Today was Zoé’s last day of her summer session. We wanted to take a minute to celebrate her and all that she’s accomplished over the past two months. ZT - You’re one of a kind and we couldn’t be prouder of you. Thanks for being such an important part of our family biz. Now we just need to get your little bro in the mix! ❤️❤️ ~ Mom & Dad PS - DON’T FORGET TO CHECK THE LIST!!

  1. David Chaim Jacob Zilber,⠀ ⠀ It’s been a day since you I watched you press a paint-slicked palm into the wall of the Lab and pack your knives one last time. 24 hours of reflection later and I still don’t quite have the words to articulate what the hell I’m supposed to say to the guy who brought me over the pond to begin another crazy adventure. You will be dearly missed at Noma, and my only regret about our time working side by side is that it was as brief as it was (and maybe the milk pichia trials too...and maybe the beaver garum...I digress).⠀ ⠀ With every slip, snag, stumble and outright failure we might have had in the Lab, the notion of “Onwards and upwards” was often your response. At this fork in the road, I hope we both promise each other to heed that quote as we go our separate ways. For you, I hope you promise to continue inspiring others on a scale no longer restricted by these walls; spreading the gospel of staying curious to a hungry audience while looking damn fashionable in the process. As for me, I’ll take care of our Lab; I’ll keep the ethanol topped up, make sure the super-critical fluid extractor is super-critically extracting, and build. Build on all that you, and everyone else who has ever shared our space, have created. A continuing mission. Hell, I’ll even mist the ant farm from time to time. Promise.⠀ ⠀ John G. Kemeny said “It is the greatest achievement of a teacher to enable his students to surpass him.” (Kemeny, I’m sure you know, is responsible for co-developing BASIC programming language. I’m sure I don’t have to spell out the parallels between his work, and what you have done for the field of fermentation.) One does not “say” gratitude; one expresses it. Where words fail me now, I hope you consider the forward progression of The Fermentation Lab as testament of your influence and mentoring. I will use everything you have taught me and all the wisdom you provided to push this Lab forward; to explore, seek out and boldly go onwards and upwards.⠀ ⠀ Thank you for being the best teacher, colleague, friend, Miyagi, Kenobi... ⠀ ⠀ Kev⠀ Chef of Research and Production⠀ ⠀ The Fermentation Lab⠀ noma

  3. I spent a lot of time staring at an empty text box where this caption is now, trying to think of what to say about my meal at @jatakcph . It’s not enough to say that the food was delicious, that the service was as warm and attentive as one could ask for, that it was inspiring to see what all these people who I respected and admired so much were able to create. Clichés like those (as true as they are) tend to write themselves with experiences like that, so it feels almost cheap to use them. ⁣ ⁣ I came to the realization that all of my thoughts towards my meal could be epitomized by how I felt about one of the courses. The main course at Ja Tak arrives with a side car of house-made lap cheong. Never mind that the rest of the main course involves juicy, char siu-glazed Hindsholm pork, or that the rest of the menu eats like a dream; this understated plate of dry-cured Chinese pork sausage played on childhood strings that had long collected dust, abandoned for, shall we say, whiter pastures. ⁣ ⁣ So how does this tie in to a bit of cured meat served at a hot new restaurant on Rantzausgade? I grew up eating lap cheong, but the lap cheong of my youth was sad, generic, pumped full of nitrates, MSG and god-knows-what-else. To put it simply, I moved on to better things, regarding lap cheong as having exhausted it’s potential. To come full circle as an adult, and to be served a lap cheong treated with the same respect an Italian would treat the highest quality salumi, was a reckoning that I’m still struggling to put into words a day later. It’s a declaration to presumed lost causes; a movement to explore the potential in all ingredients, whether luxurious or humble, celebrated or denigrated. ⁣ ⁣ Buy stock in @jatakcph ; I know I am. Buy stock, because there’s something special happening here, and I don’t want to be the one to say “I told you so” at some juncture down the line.

  2. Un magazine n’est jamais figé. Il vit dans les questions qu’il soulève, dans les débats qu’il nourrit, dans les pages que l’on garde. Et parfois, il fait rêver — parce que l’évasion reste essentielle, surtout quand le monde semble se rétrécir. Ce numéro, mon premier 🤍, est à cette image-là. On y parle de sujets qu’on ne peut plus contourner : les dérives misogynes en ligne, les enjeux de représentation et de pouvoir, mais aussi tout ce qui façonne le quotidien. On y fait entendre la voix des femmes avec force. L’idée, toujours : apporter de la clarté. Dans les grandes comme dans les petites questions. Très fière du travail de l’équipe derrière ce numéro de @chatelaineqc Et un merci tout spécial à @philippelepine et @constance.cazz La suite en kiosque, hihi

  3. WELCOME PURE INDULGENCE. LAUNCHING JULY 1st. This project is most near and dear to my heart. A passion project driven by my sweet tooth and love for health and wellness. At the heart of my concept lies a dedication to creating treats that are not only delicious but nutritious. I understand the importance of catering to individuals who seek gluten-free, dairy-free, and refined sugar-free options, as well as those who embrace a vegan lifestyle. Each of my goodies is curated, using wholesome, nutrient-rich ingredients that promote well-being without compromising on flavour. While emphasizing a holistic approach to wellness, I believe that true health encompasses not only what we consume but also how we nourish our minds and bodies. In a world where indulgence often comes at the cost of health, there’s a middle ground: wholesome desserts made with nutrient-dense ingredients. These treats not only satisfy your sweet cravings but also nourish your body with essential nutrients. To me, ingredients are everything. I don’t just pay attention to ingredients. I obsess over them. And I feel so confident about how good they are (and how good they taste), that I invite you to obsess over them, too.

  1. Fourteen years ago today, San and I kissed in a bar full of lesbians , sealing our fate forever 💋. 🎶 ‘I kissed a girl and I liked it …’ 🎶. We decided this is how we would mark our anniversary . Seems fitting ! I’ve been lucky enough to have lived a life full of love so far, and I wouldn’t change a thing from my past, however, these last 14 years spent in the company of San have been the most precious moments of my life . The most rewarding , fulfilling, glorious , fun and loving moments ever lived along side another human being . I feel whole.♥️ I’m the happiest I’ve ever been, and what a gift that is ! Thank-you San for this beautiful life . Cheers to many more years by your side . I love you so very much ! Te amo you gorgeous Latina 🇲🇽. 🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈

  2. As some of you already know,  and others who may have heard the whispers or rumors floating about,  Eric and I have decided  to close our beloved restaurant Un Po di Piu in the Old Port of Montreal.  First and foremost we would like to assure our clients, friends and colleagues that this decision was made to avoid finding ourselves in a compromised financial situation. Our priority was to make sure our employees and suppliers would be taken care of.  This news may come as a surprise to you,  but for us we knew this was the right decision to take.   Closing a restaurant, or any business for that matter,  is very difficult. All entrepreneurs like to imagine that they will be in control of how and when their business endeavors will eventually come to an end.  Unfortunately, sometimes life decides how our stories will finish, despite our best intentions.     Eric and I have an tendency to open restaurants in areas that are… not obvious.  Twenty six years ago Olive et Gourmando was one of the first ‘food’ businesses to open in the West End of the Old Port. Likewise, Foxy was one of the first restaurants to open on that abandoned stretch between Griffintown and Little Burgundy , right next to a gigantic Salvation army.   Ten years ago when Eric and I purchased the commercial condo that would later become UPDP,  we had a dream of bringing change to the East End of the Old Port that had always been dominated by chain restaurants.  The spaces were spectacular and the view on the canal so gorgeous! It didn’t seem right that honest, delicious food was hard to find, so we rented the space out and waited for the right moment…. 💥[CONTINUED IN COMMENTS] ➡️

  3. ❤️ AN HAPPY RESTAURANT STORY ❤️ In the spring of 2019 we hired Veronique Dalle @vdalle to be our Maitre D @foxymtl ; one of the best moves we ever made. Working with Véro is a gift I wish more restaurant owners could experience in their lifetimes. She is truly one of the most loved hospitality and wine personalities in our great city. She has literally taught a generation of sommeliers/liéres working in Quebec through her years of teaching at ITHQ, and has been sharing her passion for wine and great service for the same duration of time. From the moment we hired Véro, our intention was to make her our business partner at Foxy. Then Covid hit, and our well laid plans were set aside as we rolled up our sleeves and focused on keeping Foxy alive. This past year, Eric and I decided we want to concentrate on @olive_et_gourmando , and the dream of expansion. After many conversations together, Véro decided to take over Foxy as the sole owner, and keep the flame (pun intended) alive 🔥. The only part of this decision that was difficult, was knowing we would no longer work together, but Véro was eager to be an owner, and is deeply devoted to Foxy. She has always treated our restaurant as if it were her own, which is often the case with very rare, and special employees. It is a dream to be able to sell our restaurant to an employee (and friend) , especially one who has given so much to our business, despite not being an owner. Most of us end up closing our businesses after we have spent years nuturing them. Most restaurants do not have an opportunity to pass on their legacy. Véronique Dalle is now the proud owner of Foxy, and Eric and I can feel at peace knowing our beautiful restaurant will continue to thrive, and evolve in the best hands. We are very grateful for this opportunity and wish all of the success the world has to offer to our dear friend Véro 🫶🏼🥂🎉! I can’t think of a person who deserves this more. Hard work pays off! You are an inspiration @vdalle and we love you to itty bitty bits ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. 📸 @lagrandegwazelle #restaurantlife #legacy #friendship

  2. It’s taken me a long time to process. Michelin is something I’ve looked up to for my whole cooking career, saving all of my pennies to buy cookbooks by the likes of @m_bras1961 and a legion of great chefs that have come before us. I have dug deep on this one, in the end I will take it and interpret it as such, a pat on the back, a proud moment, a hug for the countless hours in the kitchen over 3 plus decades. Thank you @michelinguide , all the amazing chefs that have spent their time, given their talents, left their imprint on our little restaurant. To the crew now @felixmaristany @concretesurfers @b_ramps @pepper_annarchy and all you lovely people. To my partners @janice_ping @soberalain whom have seen me through thick and thin. To my many mentors in and out of the kitchen. To the foh 👏 @justin_isidro @belsiu to name just a couple. Thank you for working so hard. Finally congratulations to all the people recognized and those who will be. Thank you to @garrisonbespoke for keeping me sharp! A special thank you to @jcpoirier my brother. Blessed. Thank you to my mother for always believing in me, to my father for showing me what hard work and determination can achieve. Also, the man with the fish is my grandfather Joseph Costa, a great cook, gone too soon but I hope I made him proud ❤️

  1. I truly believe teaching is a privilege and a responsibility. Knowledge and experience is like money, you can’t take it with you when your time is done. I believe we are best when we share what we know with the next generation. I am grateful for this recognition, especially as it’s from my students. Thank you to my previous students for the trust and the chance to work together in the kitchen. Congratulations to all my other colleagues @saithospitality in your nomination! #sait #saitsa #educator #teachingexcellence @sait @saitsalife

  2. This is my oldest son Colin! He has just graduated from the University of Calgary! His degree is a Batchelor of Arts in Asian Language studies. The fact that he can read and write in Japanese amazes me frankly - I’m a very proud father. Colin has Asperger’s Syndrome. This makes him neurodiverse. Simply put he experiences the world around him differently. He’s more sensitive to light, sounds and has different social needs. His differences are not deficits but gifts. His ability to retain information and focus on tasks he’s interested in is really astonishing. What makes me the proudest of all he’s accomplished - is what he has had to overcome. Sadly we have met naysayers that were not positive influences on his journey so far. It’s a shame some people are so inflexible in their thinking of others. At the end of the day, everyone has gifts to offer and contribute. Diversity is natures way of success. Colin, keep looking forward and follow your passions. I can’t wait to see what you do! Now that you have a BA you can Be Anything! Love ya pal! #UofC #universityofcalgary #UCalgaryGrad #proudparents #aspergers #neurodiverse
