Raised and trained in the nation’s capital, Chef Justin Champagne knew exactly where he wanted to be the second he got the call of his dreams.
After building his fine dining skills in renowned restaurants such as Atelier in Ottawa, Atelier Crenn in San Francisco and Hawksworth Restaurant in Vancouver, Chef Champagne headed to Montreal, Quebec to assist with the opening of Pastel, a fine dining French-Japanese establishment. Less than two months and one call later, he found himself back in Ottawa as the Executive Chef of Ottawa’s Bar Lupulus.
