Le Comptoir Tremblant

The Fairmont Tremblant Hotel’s management team is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Jonathan Legris to the position of Executive Chef as of April 30, 2019. 

Curious, innovative and a stickler for perfection, Jonathan Legris, a Montreal native, has over 25 years of experience in popular restaurants, including Petit Extra, L'Express and Laloux. It is because of chefs such as Joël Chapoulie and André Besson that Jonathan developed a taste for culinary adventures and a love of gastronomy. While on a trip to Vancouver, Jonathan met Chef Robert Clark and this encounter allowed him to discover a world of freshness and creativity.

Most recently, he worked alongside Simon Renaud at the Hyatt in Montreal before taking the reins of the Marriott Montreal Airport kitchens. He was also Executive Chef of the prestigious Laval-sur-le-Lac Golf Club, before joining the Fairmont Tremblant team.

With the support of his brigade, composed of some 40 colleagues, Chef Legris will oversee the daily operations of all culinary units, namely Choux Gras Brasserie Culinaire, Axe Lounge Bar, Le Comptoir Cuisine du Marché, Ricochet Café & Terrace, banquets and outside catering, in-room dining as well as the outdoor summer BBQ.

A lover of locally-sourced products and a fervent defender of sustainable fisheries, it’s with passion and a pinch of artistry that he creates menus and welcomes guests to his table. He is enthusiastic about discovering Laurentian producers and artisans and working with them to promote the region’s culinary diversity.

"We are very proud to welcome Jonathan to further enhance our new culinary offers, which are going through a wave of renewal and popularity among locals and visitors" said Patrick Lamy, General Manager at Fairmont Tremblant. "His rich experience and creativity are undeniable assets for our team."

A sport enthusiast, Chef Legris is an avid skier and cycler. He will certainly be in his element in Tremblant with its many recreational activities and sporting events.
