If food is your love language, and honestly even if it’s not, you must, need, have to put TASTET on your radar. It is quite simply one of the tastiest, most trusted, beloved, and refreshingly accurate guides to good eating on the planet.
And lucky for us, it’s a homegrown gem, the brainchild of Élise Tastet, founder, CEO, and driving force behind TASTET.
The daughter of a food critic, Élise spent sizable chunks of her childhood where else but in restaurants, developing an instinctive, if not spidey-like sense of what makes a place truly worth it. Then, a decade ago, as a young adult of just 23, she turned that lifelong passion into a platform, and the rest, as they say, is some devourable history-or in this case, herstory.
Since then, TASTET has emerged as the go-to for every kind of craving, from cozy brunch to glam dinners to quick, perfect bites in between. What sets it apart and takes the TASTET experience to a whole other level of foodie fabulosity is the curation: always thoughtful, ultra-credible, and on point. No fluff, no filler, just genuinely great recommendations you, your taste buds, and your real-life buds can trust.
Today, TASTET has evolved into a full-fledged ecosystem, featuring a beautifully designed website, a sleek app, and a vibrant, engaged social presence, with even more exciting developments underway. Recent highlights include the launch of pop-ups in March with OpenTable, the TASTE app now available for free thanks to Loto-Québec, and a pilot project with Air France set to launch on April 24 in Toronto. Looking ahead,
TASTET is also expanding to Toronto and Vancouver this fall, with the support of the National Bank of Canada.
