Chez Jean-Paul

Montréal • Canada

Canada's 100 Best

Overview

Chez Jean-Paul offers an experience that walks the line between fine dining and heartfelt conviviality — just as it should. That’s the motto of chef-owner Isael Gadoua, a former student of the legendary Joe Beef restaurant. Located in the vibrant neighborhood of Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie, this intimate 34-seat restaurant delivers bold, creative cuisine — playful yet refined. In the kitchen, Isael is joined by his right-hand man, Antoine Joubert, and together they craft a menu that evolves with the seasons: seasonal ingredients, offal, charcoal grilling — all handled with thoughtful precision and a deep respect for culinary craftsmanship. Out front, sommelier Ellie Cohn curates a wine list highlighting privately imported artisan wines. Expect a selection of both pleasure wines and grands crus, carefully chosen to complement each dish.
