What is a guild?
A guild is a place where people unite to share a common passion. Communication and accomplishment are the key goals of such a group.
Chef Jonathan Garnier
After spending his childhood in Quebec, Jonathan moved to France. Trained as a chef in various renowned establishments on the Côte d'Azur, he became private chef to a Middle Eastern royal family. His family roots, his openness to the world and his professional experience lead him to offer a cuisine with Mediterranean accents, which he loves to revisit.
After training at HEC Montréal, Jonathan Garnier and his brother Benjamin set about opening the prestigious La Guilde Culinaire cooking school in the heart of Montreal. In just a few years, their school became the benchmark in the field. In the company of Quebec's top chefs, Jonathan offers cooking classes for individuals and well-thought-out activities for businesses. With an authentic and generous approach, he transmits his love of good food and gives his courses an exquisite flavor.
