Knight TV Georges Laurier

Georges' passion for cooking was ignited early in life with a part-time job working for a small caterer in is hometown of Hull, Québec. Although intrigued by cooking, Georges attended university in Hull with the firm intention of completing a Bachelor degree in education until one day his best friend suggested; why not pursue his career in the food industry?

And thus it began…

Georges followed internships at the Intercontinental Hotel; The Beau Rivage in Switzerland, and in restaurants in France and New-York City. He participated in many culinary competitions and was a back up member of the medal winning Ottawa- Hull culinary team that participated in Frankfurt at the 1986 Culinary Olympics.

Georges competitive nature, drive and passion soon led him to opening his own charming French restaurant in his home town of Hull, Quebec. In August of 1995, Georges opened 'Laurier Sur Montcalm'. A proud Quebecois, Georges successfully poured his creative energy into a restaurant that has become know for a fabulous menu that always showcases the very best in regional ingredients.

His cooking style, which he refers to as "French actual cuisine" has been a hit. The intimate and charming restaurant located in a renovated railway station is comfortable and elegant – perfect for almost any occasion. There is even a beautiful terrace at the rear that accommodates guests in summer.

Ask Georges why he named his restaurant ‘Laurier sur Montcalm’ the answer is simple :
"Both the restaurant where I was a chef for the first time and the private club where I was chef emancipating my skills were located on Laurier street, so the name ‘Laurier’ brings me luck…"

'Laurier Sur Montcalm' has been a dream come true for Georges and is a source of happiness and pride. The restaurant has been recommended in Where to eat in Canada since 1996, best 100 restaurants in 1997 in En Route magazine, recommended in Voir guide resto since 1998, and has had feature articles written up in the Globe and Mail, The Ottawa Citizen, Le Droit, and Food and Leisure.

He is currently executive chef at the Wakefield Mill Inn and Spa in the Outaouais region in Quebec. His cuisine was recently awarded one star in the Where to Eat in Canada 2006-2007 edition.
