For 17 years, our Queen Street West location has been home to Nadège Patisserie, our café and pastry shop. Today, that story continues, with the opening of Chez Nad—two concepts, one address, and a seamless culinary experience from morning to night.

Chez Nad sits at the heart of Queen Street West and Trinity-Bellwoods neighbourhood tucked behind our flagship at 780 Queen Street West, where neighbourhood warmth meets culinary ambition.

This space is deeply personal: an extension of my home and my story. From my great-grandparents and grandparents owning a pastry shop, to my parents running a restaurant, food has always been the language of our family. Chez Nad is an ode to that heritage. “Nad” is my nickname, and when you step inside, you are truly entering chez moi. This is an elevated French bistro rooted in bistronomie—where thoughtful, locally sourced ingredients meet exceptional French cheeses. Classic Lyonnais and French dishes are reimagined with a modern, playful twist. More than a French restaurant, Chez Nad is a place for everyone, built around community, generosity, and the joy of sharing a table".
