Ron Kneabone – Executive Chef
“My cuisine is deeply inspired by French techniques, which I enjoy reinterpreting through local ingredients. To me, cooking is first and foremost about showcasing the ingredients, producers and local suppliers who contribute to the richness of our terroir.”
Executive Chef at GaZette Bistro Bar, Ron Kneabone brings nearly 20 years of experience within the Marriott family.
After studying at the Culinary Institute of Canada in Prince Edward Island, he continued his culinary training between the Westin Calgary and a small restaurant in a village in France—two very different environments that helped shape his approach to cooking.
Throughout his career, he has worked across several cities, provinces and countries before settling in Montréal, which he has proudly called home for the past eight years.
Before joining Le Westin Montréal, he served as Executive Chef at the Delta Montréal, beginning in 2018.
His cuisine is inspired by French techniques and classics, which he enjoys reinterpreting through ingredients from Québec and across Canada. Deeply committed to local expertise, he places great importance on local products and suppliers, which he seeks to highlight throughout the menus at GaZette Bistro Bar.
