Greg Couillard built an international reputation on his flair for combining the diverse flavours of Toronto in unique and spectacular ways. Through his many groundbreaking restaurants like The Parrot, Stelle, Avec, Sarkis, The Spice Room and others, his prescient embrace of this city’s multicultural influences and ingredients foreshadowed the kind of eclectic, international menus we can now take for granted. It would not be hyperbole to suggest that Greg Couillard is one of the most influential chefs in Toronto’s culinary history.

For this dinner, Greg takes inspiration from Indochine, the French colonial era in South East Asia, with a menu that combines Vietnamese flavours, French techniques with Greg’s modern and idiosyncratic sensibility.
