"I’ve always wanted to do a rotisserie," says co-chef Marc-Olivier Frappier between bustling services of the new restaurant Rôtisserie La Lune.
Opened quietly in December 2024 by the team behind the nationally acclaimed Mon Lapin—Jessica Noël, Vanya Filipovic, Marc-Antoine Gélinas, Alex Landry, and Frappier—it appears deceptively simple on paper: A 70-seat restaurant (plus two private rooms for groups) centred around Quebec's love affair with spit-roasted chickens, designed by Zebulon Perron with work by the carpenter Antoine Chouinard.

But at its core, La Lune is both a nostalgic touchstone and the realization of a longtime dream of a 15-year-old Frappier, back when he knew he wanted to be a chef while working at a Saint-Hubert outpost in Saint-Hyacinthe.
