The Buzz
There's always something happening at The Chefs' House - but it's not always happening at The Chefs' House. We also hold events at the Centre for Hospitality and Culinary Arts at 300 Adelaide, and at other locations throughout Toronto and Ontario.
And with partner schools extending our programs to Italy, India, China and South America, even we find it hard to keep up with everything that's going on. But we do our best.

On Sunday, Oct. 16th, our Chef School Students and Staff hiked up to Honeywood to participate in the huge public food event “Foodstock” in support of the movement to ‘Stop the Mega Quarry’ which could decimate some of Ontario’s best farmland beside the Niagara Escarpment. Over 30,000 people attended!
The Chefs' House brings "A Taste of New Zealand" to Toronto
As part of the free-to-the-public “EduBites” Seminar series, The Chefs’ House hosted Wendy Barrett and the New Zealand Trade & Enterprise centre to sample a myriad of food and wine products from New Zealand Spring Lamb to Green-Lipped Mussels, Coffee-Chocolate licorice and more!
We know that maintaining our place at the centre of Toronto's culinary community means staying current and relevant. We pride ourselves on bringing in high-calibre talent as well as introducing rising local stars to the community.
And people are taking notice. Our reviews and articles show that we're leading the way in turning Toronto into a world-class centre for food culture.
