OUR STORY

Hadrien Verrier, chef and owner of Hadrien Pâtisserie, always dreamed of owning his own business. Raised in the suburbs of Paris, he first learned the ropes from his mother and grandmother, who put him to work peeling vegetables at Sunday brunch—despite his protests!

His culinary journey began at the École Supérieure de Cuisine Française Grégoire-Ferrandi in Paris, where he honed his skills in bakeries and renowned restaurants across France. Drawn to new challenges, Hadrien moved to Toronto, where he worked in elite kitchens like Colette Grand Café and Michael’s on Simcoe.

Fueled by a passion for hospitality, fine cuisine, and French pastries, Hadrien launched Hadrien Pâtisserie. What started as a shared kitchen concept has now grown into a standalone bakery in South Etobicoke, where he brings authentic French flavors to Toronto’s vibrant food scene.
