Meet Chef Michael Lasalle

Michael Lasalle, executive banquet chefMichael Lasalle is the executive banquet chef for Sodexo at the Canadian War Museum and the Canadian Museum of History. He has more than 20 years of culinary experience in the Ottawa-Gatineau region.

After obtaining his diploma from the prestigious culinary school Le Cordon Bleu, he worked for Epicuria for five years on many important events, particularly for embassies. His exploration of tailored cuisine inspired by different cultures led to his management of major banquets in many Ottawa conference venues.

Michael later became head chef at Gatineau restaurants Edgar and Odile. The culinary team at Odile won the regional Gold Medal Plates award and went on to compete nationally in the Canadian Culinary Championships.

Following these successes, Michael joined the Sodexo team at the War Museum and the Museum of History. He has also served as a professor of culinary arts at La Cité collégiale, and as a judge of the final exam for Le Cordon Bleu culinary arts students. Twenty years after launching his professional career, Michael is a highly skilled chef who now evaluates the skills of the region’s future chefs.
