1 w elcome Gîte du Mont-Albert Gîte du Mont-Albert welcomes you and proudly introduces you to its chef, Guillaume Charbonneau. I want you to know that I fully appreciate being in a mountain environment and that I am very enthusiastic about my new post as executive chef of Gîte du Mont-Albert in the majestic decor of Parc national de la Gaspésie. I gained my professional diploma in cooking from the École hôtelière de la Capitale and completed a training in management at Collège François-Xavier-Garneau. I now have several years of experience as a chef, notably at Manoir des Érables in Montmagny, at Station touristique Duchesnay, at Auberge Port- Menier in Anticosti Island, plus a period of training at L Initiale, a restaurant that is a member of Grand Chef Relais & Chateaux in Quebec City. From 2008 up to now, I was executive chef for AML Cruises in Quebec City. After having worked many years in environments where gastronomy and nature meet and harmonize with regional products, I wish to offer you an authentic and original eating experience by creating dishes originating from mountain cuisine but revised with ideas inspired by the Chic-Chocs Mountains. Please take note the pictogram beside certain dishes mean that the following are available in portion for children. I sincerely hope you will appreciate your evening and wish you an unforgettable gourmet experience. Guillaume Charbonneau Executive chef
