Greg has spent the last six or so winters on the Costa Allegre, on the Pacific coast of Mexico. Inspired by the ingredients, spices and flavours of his winter home, Greg brings home a dazzling new Mexican cuisine to the table with this fabulous dinner.

It would not be hyperbole to suggest that Greg Couillard is one of the most influential chefs in Toronto’s culinary history. Through groundbreaking restaurants like The Parrot, Stelle, Avec, Sarkis, The Spice Room and many others, his prescient embrace of this city’s multicultural flavours and ingredients revolutionized fine dining in Toronto, and foreshadowed the eclectic, international menus many now take for granted.

After several years as Chef at a small boutique hotel in Mexico, Chef Greg has returned to Toronto as the Executive Chef of Bellwoods Health Services Addiction Treatment Rehab Centre, where his decades of experience contribute to a holistic approach to recovery and wellbeing.
