Marc Breton

Chef Marc Breton is a classically trained French chef with over 30 years of professional experience. Chef Breton learned his love of food from his French Canadian parents as he grew up cooking at home. He says, "My frustration is that what grows in your backyard has become a 'delicacy' sought after by Chefs. We need to collectively reconnect with local producers to turn the tables on what’s available for our kitchen tables". Chef Breton's style of cuisine is based on using fresh, local, seasonal ingredients. Breton and his team present à la carte and catering menus which celebrate eating locally and sustainably, supporting strong partnerships with local food producers. In 2007, the Toronto Food Policy Council recognized Chef Breton with a Local Food Hero Award for leading the Gladstone’s annual "Harvest Wednesdays" series of culinary events inspired by the hotel’s membership in a local Community Shared Agriculture Farm.

Chef Breton has participated alongside other celebrated Toronto Chefs in several events showcasing local and sustainable approaches to cuisine.
