Laloux welcomes two new chefs, Jonathan Lapierre-Réhayem et Stéphanie Labelle.
Laloux' new Chef, Jonathan Lapierre-Réhayem, was Executive Chef at La Montée de Lait just before joining us. Sous-Chef at Cinquième Pêché and at Chez Victoire, Jonathan also worked with the very talented Joe Mercuri at Brontė and at XO in St. James Hotel.
A curious mind and an innate need to improve one's skills and abilities is a powerful combination, one that led Jonathan off the beaten track more than occasionally, sometimes as ''stagiaire'' with Michelin-starred beacons such as Édouard Loubet in Provence and the mythical Pierre Gagnaire, sometimes in China and Japan at restaurants carefully selected according to Jonathan's own rating system...
Laloux' new Pastry Chef, Stéphanie Labelle, has earned major kudos from the press and public alike since the opening a year ago of her Pâtisserie on East Laurier, Rhubarbe. The trajectory that got her there is short and appropriately sweet: Graduating from ITHQ in 2003, she immediately escaped to France and found her true calling while training in a pastry shop for two months.
Back in Montreal, she worked at Chocolats de Chloé, then returned to France for a more thorough one-year apprenticeship in a Parisian pâtisserie. Returning to Montréal, Stéphanie felt it was time to embrace the restaurant experience, working first at DK77 and 357C, before being hired as Pastry Chef at La Salle à Manger. Then, Rhubarbe opens, and puts Stéphanie, quite irreversibly, on the Food Map.

And this,
we love!
"Seth Gabrielse brings an exotic and colourful
touch to this Bistro cuisine. Faithful to its
roots, LALOUX remains a comfortable restaurant,
with warm wooden accents, bright and truly charming.
The service is equal to the ambience – not
too formal, putting one at ease. Let yourself
be swayed by the sheer poetry of the dishes or
guided by the always judicious sommelier [David Vincent]. And this, we love!"

Nourishing
Happy Customers
"At LALOUX restaurant, in Montreal, one
encounters just as many ardent lovers declaring
their devotion to each other as one does artists
or politicians discreetly settled in […]
With Chef Seth Gabrielse, this restaurant makes
nourishing happy customers its personal mission
statement."
Philippe Mollé,
LE DEVOIR, APRIL 2010
"One of Montreal’s most appealing Parisian-style
bistros, this cozy spot delivers traditional bistro
fare in a crisp, white-tableclothed environment.
In addition to an excellent steak frites, you
can sample hearty dishes like mushroom and herb
casserole or seafood risotto with leeks and spinach.
Polish it all off with a classic French dessert
such as chocolate pot de crème"

«La serveuse hyper chaleureuse et attentionnée,
la sommelière m'a enivrée avec la
description de ses vins. Mignon et très
simple comme endroit. J'avoue voir été
agréablement surprise de découvrir
un petit resto très simple dans son décor,
mais à la fois fort chic!»
