Hailing from Haiti and now based in Montreal, Émilie Lafortune has built her brand Émilie Cuizine into a powerhouse of over one million followers.
With vibrant Caribbean flavours, bold presentation and internet-savvy formats, she introduces a cuisine often under-represented in mainstream media, with audacity and charm.
Whether she’s filming plantain-based recipes or stylish home-studio food shoots, Émilie isn’t just cooking, she’s telling her story. Her journey reminds us that food can be both heritage and innovation.
2. Le Fit Cook (Jérémie Latreille) : The Healthy Rebel of the Stove
With a background in training and nutrition, Jérémie Latreille turned his passion into Le Fit Cook, a brand marrying health, creativity and fun.
His recipes aren’t just nutritious, they come with a twist of humour and accessibility. From meal-prep hacks to flavour-packed dishes, he shows that healthy eating in Quebec doesn’t mean bland or sacrificial.
In 2025, Le Fit Cook proves that cuisine can empower as much as comfort.
3. Laurent Dagenais : The Cinematic Chef of TikTok
Chef-turned-creator, Laurent Dagenais exploded onto social media after a viral gravlax video in 2021. Today he counts millions of followers and a global reach.
His cuisine blends visual flair with simplicity, he says: “It’s just food. Relax.”
Still, his panache and confident camera presence lend his content the feel of a short film rather than a quick recipe. Dagenais reminds us that food content can be as stylish as it is accessible.
4. Marilou (Trois fois par jour) : The Everyday Epicure
Marilou’s platform Trois fois par jour started as a blog and has grown into a multimedia brand, offering recipes, lifestyle content and a vision of food as joy and ritual.
Her message is clear: good food is for everyone, at every table, every day. In a world of “special occasion” cooking, Marilou advocates for consistent, joyous, meaningful meals.
Her gentle voice and relatable style make her a trusted voice in Quebec’s food community.
5. Bob le Chef : The Culinary Anarchist
Since 2005, Bob le Chef (Robert James Penny) has pursued a mission of “kitchen freedom.” His brand of no-frills, humorous, low-cost recipes has resonated widely.
With his tagline “Vive la cuisine libre!”, Bob invites people to cook without hesitation, without expensive gear, without intimidation.
In 2025, he remains a counter-current voice, reminding us that good food starts with a willingness to experiment.
6. Gurky : The Food Content Entertainer
With a YouTube and Instagram presence built on food challenges, nostalgic taste tests and comedic commentary, Gurky has carved out a unique niche.
He blends humour and food in a way that appeals to younger audiences, and in doing so, he broadens the notion of what “food influencer” can mean in Quebec.
Think: cheese-eating duels, fast-food experiments, and a host who knows how to keep it real.
7. Émilie Rossignol-Arts : The Visual Explorer of Cuisine
Taking a slightly different angle, Émilie Rossignol-Arts fuses travel, food and visual storytelling. Her Instagram and TikTok show what it means to explore beyond your city with forks and cameras in hand.
Her strength? She turns food moments into narratives of place and atmosphere, reminding us that food is context as much as flavour.
In a saturated digital space, her aesthetic intelligence helps her stand out.
8. Anthony Tran : The Food Scene Reporter
Known for his restaurant-reviews, taste tests and candid approach, Anthony Tran documents Quebec’s food scene with a curious, honest gaze.
From fine dining to street eats, his content speaks to those who are interested in the full spectrum of food culture.
In 2025, he reminds us: the most influential food voices often observe, test, reflect, not just cook.
9. Carl Arsenault : The Pastry Storyteller
His work blends desserts, invention and the behind-the-scenes world of pastry. For the article we’ll highlight his aesthetic, approachable style and how he connects with a generation that loves to bake, decorate and share.
