Chef At Home In Barrie
Get to know me better
Passionate cook. Serving local and seasonal ingredients. Specializing in high end casual fine dining.
Hey, my name is Ethan Leal and I'm a cook. I have 6 years of professional restaurant experience working in some really great kitchens alongside some amazing chefs and cooks. I spent the past 6 years cooking in Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver. Most notably I was sous chef at Montreal’s Garde Manger and the tournant chef for Toronto's Tavern Bernhardt’s. I love to cook with seasonal and locally sourced ingredients whenever possible. I take inspiration from Montreal's dining scene and use french techniques in many of my dishes. When creating dishes I first take a fine dining approach but then bring the dish to a level everyone can understand and enjoy. I am extremely devoted to my craft and love every minute I get to be in the kitchen.
