Executive Chef Guillermo Escalante, who hails from the mountains of Argentina, was inspired from an early age by his mother’s professional cooking.  In the mid 90’s, an opportunity brought him to New York City, where he apprenticed and quickly moved up the ranks cooking authentic ‘gaucho’ cuisine for Soho’s Café Novecento.

Guillermo is passionate about nose-to-tail cooking and is committed to creating simple and earthy seasonal dishes using fresh local ingredients.  He is thrilled to be in Toronto exploring our city’ ‘thriving’ culinary scene and scouting out the multitude of year-round farmer’s markets.
