Paul Sauvé
Take Five Bistro
As a business owner and chef my goal is to give back to the
industry that gave me the opportunity to grow.
’’
Chef Paul Sauvé
Born and raised in Southern Ontario, Paul started working in the hospitality
industry as a young teenager and soon found his niche in the culinary field. After
graduating from Belle River District High School, he moved to Toronto to further
his education at George Brown College, where he studied Culinary Management and
received his Red Seal Certification.
Paul gained experience as a chef in resorts and hotels in Calgary for 10 years, before
re-locating to Vancouver to open a restaurant focusing on fresh and healthy foods
and help mentor up-and-coming chefs.
In 2005, Paul returned to Southern Ontario and, after a couple of years in the
Windsor area, he opened Take Five Bistro, focusing on steaks and seafood.
Chef Paul looks forward to continuing to mentor young chefs and presenting the best
food possible to all his customers and those who attend his classes in the LCBO.
f.y.i.
What would people be surprised to
find in your kitchen?
Dried herbs. I usually only use fresh herbs
but, sometimes in a pinch, you have to
use dried.
Which kitchen tool couldn’t you
live without?
My chef’s knife. It’s the one tool I use
every day.
What is your favourite guilty
pleasure?
Chocolate, anything chocolate – love the
taste and diversity.
What’s the most unusual thing you’ve
ever eaten?

pick your snake from the cage when you
walk in the door and they prepare it in
many different ways.
