We’re very proud to announce that chef Jean-Michel Leblond, aka. John Mike, will be the official spokesperson for Cabane Panache 2025! Owner of the Tripes & Caviar restaurant on Promenade Wellington from 2013 to 2016, he’s been holding Verdun and Rue Wellington close to his heart ever since!

“Verdun has always held a special place in my life, both personally and professionally. I had the honor of being part of it with my first restaurant Tripes et Caviar, and today it’s with great emotion that I become associated with this event that celebrates culinary art, culture and community. I’m convinced that the 13th edition of Cabane Panache will be an extraordinary experience, and I’m proud to be a part of it.”
