Chef Massimo Piedimonte

Born in Montreal into a family that immigrated from Italy, food has always been at the forefront of every conversation, and every argument.

​

A chef for 19 years, Massimo perfected his art under the mentorship of Daniel Boulud, and then crossed the pond to learn from René Redzepi at NOMA. Upon his return to Montreal, Massimo joined the Le Mousso team as executive chef.

Massimo went on to guide his team to win Restaurant of the Year (Les Lauriers de la Gastronomie Québécoise 2018) and to be named one of the top ten restaurants in Canada (Canada's 100 Best 2019). As a result, he won the One to Watch Young Chef Award (Canada's 100 Best 2019).

​

Massimo's current project, Cabaret l'Enfer, was named #2 best new restaurant in Canada (2023) by Canada's 100 Best.
