Chef Pierre & its Team
I was born and raised in Ste-Foy, Quebec, in 1962, where I began my culinary career early as a cook helper at the hotel Loew’s Le Concorde. A year later and only 16 years old, I moved to Strasbourg, France to begin formal training in the career that would become my life-long passion. After a rigorous three years training program, I received my Cordon Bleu Certificate with Mention. In 1983, after two years of travelling the world with Culinary Team Canada, I decided to explore Canada, and moved West. I worked at the Grande Prairie Inn as the Executive Sous Chef for two years, then continued my trek westward to the coast where I worked as Food Service Consultant for the Meridian Hotel and the Pan Pacific Hotel. In 1986, I became the Executive Chef for the New Whistler Conference Center, where I relished the challenge of serving up to 2,500 meals per day. I accepted an offer to move to Yellowknife in 1994, and became Chef for the Yellowknife Inn, Territorial Catering, and L’Atitudes Restaurant. In the past five years I have opened a Jazz & Blues bar and restaurant, and worked as a Food Service Consultant. During my lifetime, I have travelled to 32 countries and five continents to learn about the foods and cultures of the world. In a very short time I fell in love with the North and decided I would make Yellowknife my home. I decided that this would be the place to fulfill my lifelong dream of opening my own French restaurant. As Co-owner and Head Chef of L’Héritage Restaurant and at Le Frolic Bistro Bar, I am proudly putting my expertise to work to offer Yellowknife an unparalleled dining establishment. I look forward to prepare you an authentic French meal, and I will do my best to make it memorable. Bon appetit !
