6 friends, spent an afternoon with Chef Rob! What a treat. After the class, the six of us discussed how he taught us the true essence of cooking. What really matters in food prep, ratios for making any sauce, how to efficiently operate our own kitchens. Chef was open, and caring about giving us tools we can use in our everyday lives, in our own kitchens. Something we did not realize we needed but are grateful we learned!
If you are looking to learn a thing or two about cooking, Chef Rob is the man to meet. He covers the basics clearly (helpful for me) while also sharing finer points that more experienced cooks (like my wife) can appreciate. He is direct without being unkind, and generous with his time. The food itself was fantastic. After the class, he went out of his way to secure us (on extremely short notice) a table at an excellent restaurant and put together a first-rate itinerary for the next day. I recommend Chef Rob to anyone passing through that is looking for a unique experience.
Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We’re thrilled to hear that you and your wife enjoyed your cooking experience with Chef Rob. It’s wonderful to know that he was able to make the class engaging and useful for both of you, whether you were looking to learn the basics or pick up some finer culinary tips. We’re also delighted that you enjoyed the food and appreciated Chef Rob’s generosity and hospitality beyond the class. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with him. It sounds like he went above and beyond to help make your time in Montreal extra special! Thank you again for your recommendation. We hope to welcome you on another culinary adventure in the future.
It IS really an experience to have if you are ready to discover the real food experience: cooking, sauces, Michelin stars, asian cooking... and: if you REALLY want to eat great food made by a connoisseur, that's the place (local food, great ecologic values...). The Chef is very routined at explaining you the real thing and, in a more intimate way: in letting you taste the outcome... Great experience. Really worth it.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. We are delighted to hear how much you enjoyed this culinary journey and that it gave you a deeper appreciation for the food, techniques, and flavors. It is wonderful to know that you valued both the chef’s expertise and the opportunity to learn in a more intimate, hands-on setting. Experiences like these are all about connecting with the food in a meaningful way, from understanding the ingredients to tasting the final dishes. We are especially glad that the focus on local cuisine and thoughtful sourcing stood out to you. Thank you again for your kind recommendation. We hope to welcome you on another Traveling Spoon experience in the future.
It was only ok and definitely not worth the money. The wine pairing was 3 cans of beer split between 6 people, a terrible cider and a wine that didn’t pair well with meal and was supposedly a treat but not if you have a decent palate. They less $5 of food prepared for consumption and elementary cooking lesson wasn’t worth the money.
Hi Kelli, Thank you for letting us know about your experience. We are truly sorry to hear that the wine pairing and cooking portion did not meet your expectations. Please know we take your review seriously and are looking into this as this is not the level of quality we aim to provide. We know Chef Rob has received wonderful reviews in the past and we look forward to understanding what happened. Feel free to reach out to us to share any other details you can. Warm regards, Cherry
Great time Chef was super and the food amazing. We learned a lot about chopping and sauces and how to cook and clean as you go
Rob shared so many great techniques in much more depth than any other cooking class we have had. I feel like we can really take these things back to our own kitchen. Spectacular flavor combinations that can be easily modified. Knife skills, mixing skills, proper plating.
This cooking class and experience are amazing. Completely worth the money. Chef Rob really knows how to cook, and how to make people feel comfortable. We had delicious food, delicious wine, and fantastic company. I would recommend this to anyone visiting Montreal.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We are thrilled to hear that you had such an amazing experience with Chef Rob.

Thank you for recommending this experience to others visiting Montreal. We hope to welcome you on another Traveling Spoon experience soon.
Learn from a master! This was a fabulous experience from a top rated chef. He gave us a brief knife skill demo, Prep set up (mise en place) and more kitchen tips. He educated us on sauces to make a perfect meal. Delicious food and paired wines. Highly recommend while in Montreal.
The experience was more like going to a school with a chef rather than cooking meals with a chef. Great guy and great knowledge
Great experience! Learnt a lot about sauces and cooking techniques. Delicious meal. Thank you Chef Rob!!
