Marc-Olivier Frappier is a partner-chef of Mon Lapin, a 50-seat bistro in Montreal’s Little Italy. Mon Lapin was named Canada’s Best Restaurant 2 years in a row by C100B, and received a Michelin Recommendation. After high school, he moved to Italy, where he spent almost two years, soaking up the culinary culture that would inspire him to become a chef. He then worked in various kitchens in Europe and the US. In 2009, Marco started working at Joe Beef where he eventually became executive chef of all Joe Beef restaurants, and, at the tender age of 23, a business partner, with the opening of Vin Papillon. In December 2024, he opened Rôtisserie La Lune with his 4 operating partners from Mon Lapin, a childhood dream of his where his love of rotisserie chicken comes to life! He deeply loves his wife Vanya, their dog Alba, the Montreal Canadiens, and one day hopes to work with Gatorade (which he loves).
