Michelle Marek had only planned a short visit to Montreal, but captivated by the city's artistic scene and cultural charm, she decided to set down her roots. A pastry chef by trade, she was welcomed into Montreal's colourful restaurant scene with open arms, providing her with nearly a decade of experience in some of the city's well-known kitchens.
Founded in 1996 as a not-for-profit centre dedicated to the arts and the promotion of innovation, the Society for Arts and Technologies (SAT) had renovated its third floor and built a rooftop terrace, out to add a new dimension to the centre dedicated to the art of food. All Michelle and her business partner needed was a chef. In a leap of faith, they jumped on board to create SAT's Foodlab, taking the helm of the innovative culinary project that is now reinventing the modern restaurant in Montreal.
It’s happening at the SAT, so naturally the Food Lab is there with its chef, Adrien Renaud, who brings a sandwich with his famous Bobines trout (from a fish farm in East Hereford, south east of Sherbrooke).
The FoodLab labo is unique experience for diners – an open space on the top floor of the SAT building serving simple and tasty dishes that strictly respect the rhythm of nature and its seasons. The menu changes often along thematic lines and we suggest returning regularly to test new flavours!
