Chef Matthew Cruz
Our Story

It began at a tablethat no one was allowed to miss.

Chef Matthew grew up in a home where dinner was sacred. However full the week, the family gathered — to laugh, to argue, to lean in over one shared plate. That table is where the cooking began, and where the standard was set.

For years, Cruz Cuisine lived only as a private ambition. When Chef Matthew finally took the leap, it was with a singular mission: to make the people he serves genuinely, memorably happy — one table at a time.

What Guests Say

The evening, in their words

Based on 100+ guest ratings

We booked Chef Matthew for a private dinner in our chalet, and it was honestly one of the best experiences we've ever had. Every course felt like a work of art — fresh, perfectly balanced, and beautifully presented. He's not just cooking; he's creating an experience. You can feel the passion in every bite.

Our company hired Cruz Cuisine for a private executive dinner and it blew everyone away. The service was seamless from start to finish — discreet, professional, and refined. The menu felt curated specifically for us, and the flavors were next-level. We've already booked him again for next quarter.

I run a luxury rental property in Mont-Tremblant and started offering Chef Matthew's in-chalet dining to our guests — it's been a total game-changer. Every guest who books it leaves glowing reviews. He elevates the entire stay and adds real value to my business. Couldn't recommend him more.

The tasting menu felt like it was written specifically for our anniversary, right down to referencing the wine we drank on our first date. A small detail, but it made the whole evening feel personal.

Hired for a 12-person ski weekend and Chef Matthew ran the whole kitchen solo without ever falling behind. Every course landed warm and on time, all weekend long.

Our engagement dinner needed to feel effortless for both families meeting for the first time. He read the room perfectly, and the food gave everyone something to talk about besides the nerves.

Booked the buffet package for my father's 70th birthday. Twenty-eight guests, every dietary need accounted for, and not a single plate came back untouched.

Everything about the wedding tasting was transparent. No hidden fees, no surprise add-ons. What we agreed on is exactly what we got, and it was excellent.

He accommodated a gluten-free guest and a shellfish allergy at the same table without either person feeling like they got the other menu.

I manage three luxury rental chalets and now list Chef Matthew's in-house dining as a premium add-on. It sells out every peak weekend.
