These ten voices bring flavour, personality and authenticity to the table. They refine, remix and re-serve the essence of Quebec cuisine, with a global mindset.

Here are ten culinary influencers in Quebec who are shaping the conversation around food in 2025, each in their own unique way.

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.

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 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.

In a saturated digital space, her aesthetic intelligence helps her stand out.
