In this episode, I spend the day with chef Catherine Couvet Desrosiers, the former head chef at Foxy who opened her own restaurant, Panacée, in Montreal’s Village last July. We visited the renowned fish farm Pisciculture Kenauk in Montebello, QC, to get some rainbow trout and bring it back to the restaurant to transform it into a perfect crudo creation. Desrosiers also explained how her childhood dream of becoming a jeweller evolved into a love of cooking.

The following is a capsule review of the Montreal restaurant Le Filet. To read the 2025 Montreal Restaurant Guide, please click here. If you need to sum up the vibe of our city’s food scene and its historical heft, simply proclaim: “Le Filet!” Irresistibly chic, this Plateau gem sits hidden in plain sight below a greystone triplex on Mont-Royal near Esplanade.

Spending time with life/love/work partners Didier Lortie and Édith Foliot on their family farm, and adjacent award-winning restaurant Maison de Soma, was truly an experience. I remain in awe of their pioneer vision and forward-thinking balance of tradition and best practices when it comes to growing and foraging food. Drive up to Mont-Tremblant (90 minutes from Montreal) and find out why En Route magazine named Maison de Soma one of the top restaurants in Canada.
