Yvan Lebrun’s motto is “simplicity and precision”. And it seems to have worked for this Grand Chef, originally from the little fishing village of Cancale in Brittany. Together with his partner Rolande, he has created one of the best restaurants in North America. His love of food and the pure delight of his guests, spurs him on to combine the very best of French and Quebecois culinary tradition. The gifts of the sea and the land, the noble and the rustic all combine to create exploding and harmonious flavours. Here, hearts of palm are made into flour, dandelion honey becomes a smooth ice cream, maple syrup appears regularly and, of course, oysters have a starring role.
