Chef Mathieu Couture - Head of Marché Artisans
It's a young and ambitious chef who took over the reins of Marché Artisans in the summer of 2023.
The first thing that catches your eye is his meticulous and, let's face it, Instagrammable presentations. Behind each of his plates, there's much more than the seasonal inspiration behind Marché Artisans' overall offering. There's his sincere love for Quebec and the many producers who bring our local flavors to life. There's also his desire to aim for perfection, notably in one of his favorite niches in the culinary world: charcuterie. Having fun with the complex techniques involved, Chef Couture stands out internationally thanks to his talent for charcuterie. His pâtés croûtes are among his favorite creations, in which he immensely honors Quebec game. In October 2023, Chef Couture earned a finalist spot at the Festival du Monde du Pâté Croûte, to be held in Lyon, France, in early December 2023.
His cuisine has been described as well-balanced, uncompromising and hearty. His enthusiasm for the Marché Artisans' mission is contagious: he leads his brigade with unfailing generosity, sharing his knowledge and drawing inspiration from all of his peers to make our Marché Artisans a place for sharing and discovery.
Jean-Marc Guillot - Meilleur Ouvrier de France
Head Pastry Chef
Jean-Marc Guillot is into research. The master chef takes to his lab to concoct, sample, and approve, trying something different every day!
Born in France to a father who was a delicatessen butcher; Jean-Marc grew up around foodies. From an early age, he discovered a passion for pastry making, a career that comes with its fair share of challenges. "It takes a long time to really pare down a taste, " he explains, "and lots of mastery to come up with a ganache that will stand the test of time." Consider him a fan of Marché Artisans' boutique side. "I love making pastries to go, artisanal ice cream, desserts, and mouth-watering chocolates," he says. You can even come to see the artists at work in their lab!
