Special Guests
François-Emmanuel Nicol, Chef & Co-Owner of La Tanière³
At just 34 years old, François-Emmanuel Nicol represents a new generation of Québécois chefs who blend technical precision, creativity, and a deep reverence for local ingredients. As chef and co-owner of La Tanière³, he has earned acclaim for crafting immersive, sensory culinary experiences that celebrate the wild bounty of Québec.
François-Emmanuel was named a Nation Maker by Maclean’s and Canadian Business in 2025, honouring his role in elevating Québec’s culinary culture on both national and international stages.
La Tanière was awarded two MICHELIN stars in the inaugural MICHELIN Guide for Québec, a historic recognition of the restaurant’s excellence and innovation. That same year, it was ranked #5 on the 50 Best Restaurants in North America list, solidifying its place among the continent’s finest dining destinations.
François-Emmanuel trained in some of the world’s most prestigious kitchens: Mirazur in France, Quay in Australia, and Arzak in Spain. These formative experiences shaped his culinary philosophy, which now centres on showcasing Québec’s wild and foraged ingredients through avant-garde techniques and storytelling.
