sEb l'Artisan Culinaire

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

A Culinary Vision Born of Passion and Travel

Nestled in the historic heart of downtown Mont-Tremblant since 2005, sEb l'Artisan Culinaire is the creative expression of Chef-Owner Sébastien Houle — a chef who believes that cooking is, above all, the art of stimulating gustatory desire. Inspired by journeys across five continents, his imaginative cuisine transforms the finest local and seasonal ingredients into plates that carry the resonance of world flavours while remaining deeply rooted in Québec's rich terroir.

"My commitment as head chef is to keep alive the passion for the best and the unique," says Chef Houle, "through teamwork where every contribution is marked by dedication." That ethos is tasted in every dish.

An Atmosphere as Memorable as the Food

The restaurant's rustic setting and genuinely cordial spirit create something rare: the feeling of being at home while dining at one of the most celebrated tables in the Laurentians. Whether seated for a leisurely dinner or exploring the full seven-course tasting menu ($150, with optional wine pairings at $225), guests are invited into an evening that transcends the ordinary meal.

Standout Dishes and an Exceptional Wine List

The menu changes with the seasons, but signature creations consistently dazzle. The Cerf Rouge du Québec arrives with roasted cauliflower, wild mushrooms, and roasted grapes — a celebration of local hunting tradition elevated to fine dining. The Soffocato de fruits de mer layers mussels, clams, octopus, squid, shrimp, and scallops in a dish that speaks directly to Houle's love of coastal flavours. For a more classic indulgence, the Filet Mignon de Bœuf Angus AAA with truffle purée and Kampot pepper demi-glace is a masterclass in refined simplicity.

The wine list, curated by the Chef-Owner and the sommelier, spans celebrated Burgundy Grand Crus to bold new-world discoveries — a collection designed to harmonise with the restaurant's imaginative cuisine across every season.

Recognised by the World's Most Prestigious Guides

Séb l'Artisan Culinaire has earned the Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence (2025), a listing in the Guide Michelin Québec 2025, and a CAA/AAA Four Diamond designation — distinctions that reflect an unwavering standard of culinary craft and hospitality. The restaurant is also a member of La Table Ronde, a collective of leading figures in Québec gastronomy.

Beyond the Restaurant

For over 30 years, the sEb team has extended its imaginative cuisine beyond the dining room through a full-service catering division — from intimate private chef experiences to grand wedding receptions and corporate events. A take-out service also brings the sEb experience home, with seasonal menus available Thursday through Sunday.
