Ottawa, part of The Leading Global
Network of Culinary Arts and Hospitality Management
Institutes, is delighted to announce a dual achievement. Chef
Yannick Anton, our esteemed
Executive Chef and Instructor, has been awarded the title of
Chevalier de l'Ordre du Mérite Agricole by the French Ministry of
Agriculture. This prestigious honor recognizes Chef Yannick's
exceptional contributions to French culinary arts and his
commitment to promoting French culture and savoir-faire.
L'Ordre du Mérite Agricole is one of the highest honors in
France, intended to reward people
who have rendered significant services to agriculture, either in
the exercise of agricultural practice or related industries,
including the culinary arts.
Expressing his gratitude, Chef Yannick acknowledged,
"Receiving this award is an incredible honor. It validates the
hard work and dedication I've put into promoting French cuisine
abroad, especially in Ottawa. I am
deeply thankful to the French Embassy and Ambassador Michel Miraillet for their support and
recognition."
Chef Yannick has been a cornerstone of Le Cordon Bleu Ottawa,
North America's only Le Cordon
Bleu campus, located in the heart of Canada's picturesque capital, since 2006. He
attributes this award to his mentors' guidance and knowledge, which
he now passes on to the next generation of chefs and culinary and
hospitality professionals at the campus, upholding the rich
heritage and innovative spirit of Le Cordon Bleu while nurturing
culinary talents who excel on the world stage.
In addition to Chef Yannick's accolade, Le Cordon Bleu Ottawa
has been nominated for "North
America's Best Culinary Training Institution 2024" for the
fourth consecutive year, having won the title in 2022 and 2023. The
