Renée Lavallée
Born and raised in Shawville, Quebec, Renée left home to attend Toronto’s George Brown College. After close to 25 crazy years in restaurants around the world, she now calls Nova Scotia home. Following a brief hiatus to raise her family, Renée opened The Canteen—an award-winning sandwich shop in Downtown Dartmouth—then went on to open up Little C, a full-service restaurant and take-out shop. Renée has a long list of accolades and has been the spokesperson for numerous culinary brands and organizations including Community Food Centres Canada and Dairy Farmers’ of Canada, and was named the 2018 Culinary Ambassador of the Year by Taste of Nova Scotia. Renée is an ardent supporter of local food producers, and she can often be spotted at farmers’ markets with her husband and business partner Doug, daughter Zoe, and son Philippe in tow. @feistychef
