Canadian Culinary Championship 2025

A Celebration of Canadian Culinary Excellence!

10 of Canada's Best Chefs

3 Intense Competitions

1 Canadian Culinary Championship

In late January 2025 ten of Canada’s finest chefs – winners of competitions held nationwide in cities stretching from the Pacific to the Atlantic – will gather in the nation’s capital to test themselves against their peers and push their limits. Three competitions each requiring the highest level of skill talent and technique judged by a panel of chefs authors and culinary experts put these competitors through their paces in every conceivable way. Their efforts will inspire the next generation of culinary talent and help shape the direction of the nation’s cuisine for years to come. Ultimately a winner among winners is determined and the Canadian Culinary Champion is crowned.

When you attend the Grande Finale on Saturday February 1st not only will you have the best dishes these chefs from across Canada can offer but you will also have the chance to revel in the incredible talent of Johnny Reid (multi-platinum selling artist Juno Award-winning artist producer and playwright) along with keyboardist Michael Shand.
