Gabriel worked in several renowned restaurants in Quebec City and Montreal, completing his training with long stays in Europe, where he worked in some of the most internationally famous restaurants like Fäviken in Sweden and noma in Denmark. Thus in addition to his wide knowledge in product fermentation, Gabriel has been surrounded by many restaurant professionals renowned for their inventiveness and avant-garde mindsets. Therefore he wishes to bring awareness towards these traditional Japanese products. His strong interest for boreal cuisine, for local products and fermentation processes added to his skills and amplified his creativity, with one goal in mind: developing wide and new ranges of flavors.
With 15+ years experience working in the restaurant world, Gabriel is now Executive Chef of the restaurant Le Mousso in Montréal, crowned 6th best restaurant in Canada in 2019 and winner of the “Restaurant of the Year” award in Québec. Le Mousso is the first restaurant in Canada to use fermentation-based products and to develop its own fermentations inspired by traditional Japanese recipes.
