Chef Tanya Skeates, a native Montrealer, holds a wide range of experience from working in prestigious places such as Mosimann’s in London, England where she cooked for the British Royal Family, including King Charles, the Kulm Hotel in St. Moritz, Switzerland, Rideau Hall (the Official Residence of the Governor General), and as Acting Chef for the Right Honorable Justin Trudeau and his family.

Upon returning from Europe and working for a time in Ottawa, leading some of the popular restaurants of the time, such as the Manx and the Black Cat, she opened her own restaurant in Wakefield, Quebec. Soupçon became a popular hub, with a loyal local following. There she continued to develop her own unique style of supporting local farmers and producers while adding a touch of influence of her travels throughout Asia and Australia.

In 2018 she began teaching at Algonquin College as an instructor in the Culinary Arts program. Her passion and curiosity for food and culture is contagious.
